Specific tactics include increased use of design-assist and selecting teams employing lean techniques and tools.  Learn why these owners with large and sophisticated construction programs decide to take a new journey. Learn how there are new contractual strategies and new ConsensusDocs standard documents that provide best practice standard options for implement design-assist and lean without necessarily going to a pure IPD model initially.

Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Understand how design-assist can assist, and not diminish, effective design.
  • Gain an overview of just released  design-assist and "IPD-lite" or "IPDish" standard ConsensusDocs contracts.
  • Understand why specific techniques, such as co-location and constructability analysis, are most often employed and their demonstrated effectiveness on project outcomes.
