Cost Tracking
The construction team utilized a cost tracking system that analyzed the project cost throughout the design phases. The team established an original baseline estimate and then closely tracked the cost of each design option using the over the shoulder estimating method. This method allowed each design team member to be a part of the estimate and understand how each design choice influenced the project budget.
Oculus Rift
The construction team developed a tenant transition plan that gave prospective tenants the ability to visualize and immerse themselves into their new office space using the oculus rift technology. Tenants are able to see their space before any construction begins to allow for a fully customizable and flexible space to fit the needs of all sorts of clients.
Every project team has meetings, however, Subsidium strived to create the most effective and efficient meetings to expedite the collaborative process. The construction team carefully tracked the percentage of time spent during meetings discussing project topics. To increase effectiveness we were able to adapt the team meetings with a few key system changes to benefit all members present.
Meeting Effectiveness
Last Planner
CONSTRUCTION HIGHLIGHTS
Many aspects of the Last Planner System were utilized throughout the facilitation of the design for the Boylston Project. Pull Planning, one concept within the Last Planner System allowed the project team to begin designing with the end goal in mind. Pull Planning allowed for the design team to understand the established milestones and enhance integration through design.
