| Summary: | This study is focused on organizational and procedural aspects of the Construction Systems Program (CSP), a developmental/demonstration project. The report is derived principally from practical observations by 42 active participants (architects, engineers, contractors, construction managers, owner's staff) in a four-school pilot program. Also included are diagrams that analyze (1) overall program organization, (2) document preparation, and (3) construction scheduling experience. Other graphs and tables plot construction cost experience. This report directs its research to the concerns of various categories of participants through four major phases of building: (1) design and organization, (2) documentation and bidding, (3) control of time and money, and (4) management of construction operations. Particular emphasis is given to problems of contractual relationships and professional responsibilities as influenced by the techniques of systems building. The report concludes with recommendations, particularly for owners utilizing the new methods. (Author/MLF) |
