An integrated project team helps reduce costs, cut construction periods and set high expectations for future assignments.
The team identified the AA's objectives and established collaborative working practices from an early stage, encouraging all parties to share ideas, issues and information. The effect was greater understanding across disciplines and more cost certainty for the client.
The IPT was so successful that the capital costs were reduced by over 25%, the lead-in/design period by 75% and the construction period was cut from 28 to 17 weeks. As a result, the academy was opened 14 weeks ahead of the original schedule.
