Engineer your project to a better 'you'

Yes, it's a horrible title. Sorry 'bout that...

But think about it: Multi-million, multi-billion dollar construction projects. 

How often have you been on a project where the entire process was engineered around your needs, your conditions, your value proposition?

Usually architects and GC's cringe from the term 'engineer'. Very formal, sounds too efficient. But as your dollar stretches less these days from shrinking income and credit, are you operating around a process that is custom designed to maximize your return?

Manufacturing has realized this a few years ago. Project process engineers are leaning down inefficiencies, errors, and improving overall QC. This is resulting in lessened assembly times, reduced waste, and overall higher operating profits.

But design and construction processes are slightly different. You are not designing for mass replication, where you can allow your Black Belts to slowly filter up to 99.7% efficiency. This is a one-off application, typically in which your response, design priorities, procurements, sequencing, labor rate balances, communication streams, and cash flows all merge into complex jungle that equates to your dollars at risk, er, work.

Process engineers are not traditionally involved in architecture or construction, hence a huge barrier in adoption. No schools are teaching this, the FAIA is fearful of this, and this would be a huge turf war with the GC's.

...what if?
