Cost and Time Analysis: Time Reduction
753.3
ADVANTAGES OF PHASED BIDDING
If all available time-saving opportunities are fully utilized, and all necessary
funding can be obtained in a timely manner, regardless of fiscal year
considerations, still further reduction is possible. This arises from the fact
that site work and erection of structure can begin without a complete set of
working drawings for the finished building. Furthermore, working drawings
for site work and structure do not require detailed design of the finished
building. Finally, design of the site and structure does not require a
detailed master plan for the finished building. That is, sufficient
information can be developed to allow construction to begin prior to final
completion of programming, design and contract documents. After
sufficient experience with streamlined decision-making processes has
been obtained over several projects, a skilled management team might
reduce total production time by about two years. For a discussion of
accelerated scheduling techniques, see Section 761.
