Clark Construction’s design build team at the San Diego State University Engineering and Interdisciplinary Sciences Project used the big room concept as a selling point to the University for how the team was going to streamline construction, both on the project management side and the field supervision side. In theory, having all partners; GC, major scope subcontractors, the construction manager, and the inspectors working together daily in the same room for the entire duration of the building construction and closeout is an environment created for success:- no wasted time making phone calls to people you may not get a hold of- instantaneous confirmation – near complete transparency from foreman to owner – higher “quick setup” meeting flexibility- higher FPY/(100% CA) verbal and written communication; transferable work products that pass from field to office without wasted interpretation or translation time. Problems can’t hide for long… In theory, it’s the most ideal work environment that can be created……Reality is a different story
Motivation: The motivation is to make this system work because it should be the most ideal work environment that can be created. Everyone should be afforded the collaborative advantage- without the growing pains.
Learning Objective: With the team now having started a second consecutive collocated project. Share tips on how to make the collaborative “Big Room” environment work.

Building a Lean Culture
Date: Thursday, March 30, 2017
Time: 4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
How can we change our mindsets to reward better planning as the result of using Lean principles and quality production? This presentation presents the efforts of DPR Construction in educating its employees on Lean concepts, principles and tools. The company has sustained a healthy growth throughout the United States over the past 20+ years and has made consistent progress in applying Last Planner and other Lean practices in many of its projects. However, the pace of Lean adoption has been slow in keeping up with the company’s growth. In order to accelerate the pace of Lean implementation, the Lean leadership group has moved from training operations people supported solely on tools and solutions, to a holistic approach of embracing Lean thinking at every level in the organization as the best way to deliver exceptional value to its customers. This presentation explains why, how, and what has been done to train staff from all disciplines across the country. The presenter will talk about how it started, the feedback received from participants who attended Lean training sessions, and how it plans to grow this program over the years to sustain Lean implementation at a companywide level.
Cory Hackler is an advocate and educator for Lean at DPR Construction. Cory became an advocate early in his career, working in the field as a superintendent for General Contractors.

To address these knowledge gaps, this talk presents a new visual production management system that easily and quickly captures, communicates and analyzes actual and potential construction performance problems. To ensure its implementation does not take away from actual productivity, the web-based system extends the value of 4D (3D+time) Building Information Models (BIM) commonly used for constructability review as a benchmark for performance. Likewise, it takes advantage from images and videos frequently collected by project participants or professional services via smartphone and drone cameras to visually document actual performance. These images and videos are used together with a cloud-based computer vision and machine learning platform to continuously map the current state of production in 3D and then 4D. The 4D point clouds and their associated still images and videos are integrated and compared continuously with the 4D BIM Plan to expose actual waste and highlight potential issues by forecasting reliability in project look-ahead schedules. Experimental results from implementing this system on several real-world construction projects will be shared to demonstrate how these visual production models together with actionable data analytics on construction performance can proactively support collaborative decision making that eliminates root causes of waste. The system also provides visual interfaces between people and information that enable effective pull flow, decentralize work tracking and facilitate in-process quality control and hand-overs among contractors.

LCI San Diego Community of Practice presents Incentive Programs for a Design-Build Public Work Project — A Case Study from the SDSU Zura Hall Student Residence ProjectDate: Thursday, September 17, 2015 Time: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM Location: Balfour Beatty |
|
| An in depth case study of how a comprehensive incentive program was implemented on a $37.5M Design-Build Student Housing Renovation Project at San Diego State University. Discover how an IPD concept like project incentive programs can be successfully integrated into a public design-build (non-IPD) contract. Hear how the team determined what performance criteria to incentivize and track progress on. Learn how individual project team members and trade partners participated in the incentive program
Our presentation will focus on the practical applications of an incentive program, and how well the program actually worked out at the end of the project compared to our initial intent for the program. By presenting with a case study format, it will better equip attendees with knowledge of the lessons learned from our experience with the incentive program. In this way, audience members wishing to implement an incentive program for their own projects can be more prepared than we were when we initially set up our program. This presentation will also help further dispel the myth that Lean Concepts only apply on IPD projects. Justin A. Maletic is a Senior Project Manager for Balfour Beatty Construction and also functions as an Integration Manager for the company to bring the best lean collaboration processes to project teams. His most recent work around project integration involves the development of a Project Incentive program for the SDSU Residence Hall Renovation Project. This particular program was designed collaboratively with the client to encourage favorable results in the performance areas of safety, schedule and procurement. As Associate Vice President of Real Estate, Planning & Development at San Diego State University, Robert Schulz is responsible for real estate, planning, design and construction, student housing, and sustainability initiatives for the university. He most recently oversaw the design and construction of the LEED Platinum Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union.

SIAN ROBERTS, FAIA, DBIA, LEED AP, PARTNER – – MILLER|HULL PARTNERSHIPSian Roberts, FAIA, DBIA, LEED AP is a partner with the Miller|Hull Partnership where she has led design teams on civic, educational and infrastructure projects throughout the Northwest. Her projects include a variety of academic buildings and libraries for public and higher education clients. Her projects have won AIA awards for design, the innovative use of BIM and excellence in design-build. Sian has a special interest in alternative delivery and has been involved in most of the firm’s design-build projects. Sian has a Masters in Science in Physics from Haverford College and a Masters in Architecture from the University of Washington. She has been an instructor at the University of Washington and for the AIA +2030 series and is a regular guest juror. She has spoken on changes in practice, sustainability and library design at DBIA, AIA and PLA conferences and events. Close integration among all team members under a GC/CM contract for the University of Washington Odegaard Undergraduate Library allowed the team to be in construction nine months after hiring the architect and meet a critical summer closure deadline. A Collaboration Guide and scorecard were drafted with members of the owner, architect and contractor team and included specific goals for everything from meeting the schedule to response time on RFI’s to use of the facility upon completion. The team leadership from all three entities was instrumental in keeping the teams focused on project and not individual firm performance. The status of the scorecard was reviewed at each meeting leading to accountability and teamwork with the common goal improving the score. During the project, each team member proved their value in areas that are typically the domain of others. Lean construction techniques were not only implemented on site by the General Contract, they were also used by the design team. Pull planning sessions were used to address the challenging schedule and value stream mapping was used for the RFI and submittal process to streamline construction communication.
