Improve facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new build outcomes and reduce costs

The practical reality of data in the construction sector is that very few decisions from planning through procurement, and project delivery and beyond are based upon verifiable, easily communicated and locally researched foundational cost and technical information.

While we have all heard about LEAN, IPD, and JOC, very few organizations understand the core requirements for each.

All of us know that most projects, whether new builds, repair, renovation, or maintenance, fail due to an inaccurate, insufficiently detailed, and/or poorly communicated Scope of Work (SOW).

That said, a detailed, well communicated SOW with cost and technical transparency is only possible via a locally researched unit price book, UPB. A UPB that is organized using a standard data architecture (CSI Masterformat), written in plain English with full descriptions, and contains granular local market local labor, material, and equipment information.
