Change on the AEC horizon ….

PROCESS Drives Efficient

Construction Delivery …
Key Drivers for Change

 Altered World Economic Landscape

– AEC Productivity has DELINED over the past 40
years !

 Global Climate Change

– Buildings are a major contributor!
BIM
Strategy
 “Traditional” Project Delivery vs. IPD

 Design-Bid-Build (DBB)  Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

 Design-Build (DB)  Job Order Contracting (JOC)
 CM-at-Risk (CMAR)  …
 …
“Traditional” Project Delivery vs. IPD
“Traditional” Project Delivery vs. IPD
 Benefits of IPD for Existing Buildings -
JOC / SABER
Job Order Contracting* proven, process-driven,
Integrated Project Delivery methods for facility repair,
renovation, & minor new construction.

 Collaboration
 Shorter Project Timelines
 Transparency
 Higher Productivity
 Quality
 Longer Term Relationships

* JOC is also knows as SABER in the Air Force –Initially developed within the DOD, this form of IPD for
existing buildings has a successful track record encompassing more than two (2) decades.
JOC / SABER = Shorter Timelines!
Technology Enabled JOC

Integration of Proven Construction Delivery Methods / Project

Management

Standardized Cost Data Architectures / Taxonomies (i.e.

RSMeansTM – 400,000 line items)

Comprehensive Document Management

Electronic Visualization / QTO (i.e. eTakeoffTM)

Manage Multiple Project Types

Integration of Proven Construction Delivery Methods

Integrated, Standardized Cost Data

Example – RSMeansTM - 400,000 line item extension

Electronic Visualization

Example - eTakeoffTM Electronic Visualization / QTO!

 How OWNERS Use JOC & Technology

 Track & Manage each project from

inception to completion.
Programming Estimate
 Manage a single project, your
entire contract, or multiple
contracts. Estimates from Each Design Stage
 All project milestones, thru
warranty period. Final Detailed Cost Estimate
 Display status of each project.
Initial Contractor Proposals
 Maintain a complete cost history
Technically Evaluated Proposals
 Record all estimates associated
with a project.
Final Revised Contractor Proposals
 Review value of all projects
awarded on a specific contract, or
to a specific contractor. Modifications & Changes Orders
 Reports show pre-negotiation
strategies and post-negotiation
summaries.
PROJECTS – Share Quick Access with Teams

 Document and Manage Projects

 Link Estimates to Specifications

 Project Reporting Tools

 From Planning thru Warranty!

ESTIMATES – Create Detailed Estimates

 Paperless estimating — direct access to pricing

guides, references, drawings, and more.

 Copy and paste estimates or estimate line items.

 Create and maintain multiple estimates in a

project, or across multiple projects/contracts/years
coefficients.

 Update estimates in seconds to reflect pricing

guide changes.
ESTIMATE LINE ITEMS – RSMeans, IDIQ, Custom

 Display complete descriptions of line items:

crew, output, material, labor, & equipment costs.

 View source data at a glance

 Sort and filter estimates

 Include unlimited detailed notes and engineering

calculations at the line item level.
THE COST DATABASE
– Extended 400,000 line items
COMPLETE City Cost Index
ELECTRONIC TECHNICAL EVALUATIONS
– Compare, Evaluate, Negotiate, Award

 Streamlined/Automated Technical Evaluation process.

 Focus technical evaluations on areas of difference.

 Changes are easily summarized in estimate report for both

contracting officials and the contractor - creating a pre-
negotiation strategy.

 Multiple contractor proposals can be compared side-by-side.

Construction Specifications
– Integrate your contract specifications
REPORTS
– Print, PDF, Export to Forms
eTakeoffTM – Electronic Visualization / QTO

 Trace electronic drawings to determine quantities.

 Increase estimating efficiency and accuracy.

 Takeoff directly from the screen using digital plans - DWG,

PDF, TIFF …

 Dynamically linked to your RSMeans or IDIQ estimate data.
