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. Mr. Schulz brings to his position over 30 years experience in design and construction, and project oversight on more than $1.5 billion of public facilities. Previously, he was the Associate Vice President of Facilities Management at Humboldt State University. Registration Rates:

| Last Planner® System (LPS) has long proven itself in planning and executing construction projects. And many use it in pre-construction. But is it only for foremen and superintendents or can design teams find high value using LPS?
YES! Says the experience of 11 design teams coached by this session’s leader, Dan Fauchier, CMF, of The ReAlignment Group of California. In this hands-on session all participants will play roles of design team members and actually pull plan a chunk of the design phase using multi-colored post-its and a format unique to design. Discover first hand:
Dan Fauchier is a Certified Master Facilitator for Lean Design and Construction, facilitating, training and coaching dozens of contractors, designers, developers and public agencies in the principles, tools and techniques of Last Planner® System (pull planning), Root Cause Analysis, Value Stream Mapping, Rapid Improvement (Kaizen) Events, Lean Partnering and cross-organizational team effectiveness. Dan currently coaches 17 project teams all over Northern and Southern California and since 2009 has coached over 60 lean project teams.

THE AIRPLANE GAME SIMULATION HAS BEEN USED EXTENSIVELY BY THOSE TEACHING HOW LEAN CONCEPTS APPLY TO PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. INSTRUCTORS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT EVOLVE DURING THE SIMULATION TO LINK THEORY AND PRACTICE IN A HANDS-ON EXERCISE. PARTICIPANTS IN THE SIMULATION OFTEN PRAISE THE ABILITY OF THIS EXERCISE TO PRODUCE INSIGHTS REGARDING THE CURRENT STATE OF PRACTICES IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND HOW THEY SHOULD BE IMPROVED. COMMENTS ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS SIMULATION IN ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRIAL SETTING ABOUND. MOREOVER, PARTICIPANTS ARE EXPOSED IN A SHORT INTERVAL OF TIME TO POWERFUL CONCEPTS THAT ARE QUICKLY TRANSLATED TO THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENTS. THE SIMULATION WILL RAISE DISCUSSIONS ABOUT BATCH SIZES AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH QUALITY OF WORK DONE, CYCLE TIMES, LEAD TIMES, AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF WORK AMONG PARTICIPANTS. THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE FIRST HAND HOW SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPTS RELATED TO LEAN WORK IN PRACTICE AND TO SHARE INSIGHTS WITH A DIVERSE GROUP OF PARTICIPANTS WHO OFTEN INTERACT IN PROJECT SETTINGS BUT USUALLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO STOP AND DISCUSS THE CURRENT STATE OF PRACTICE.Speaker: Thais Alves, Assistant Professor, J.R. Filanc Construction Engineering and Management Program, Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering – San Diego State University Alves specializes in construction management and project-based production systems and is very active in the local and the international Lean Construction communities of practice.

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.
