Why "3PQMS" Works

1

Back

Concept & Structure►This module demonstrates and discusses Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) by focusing on the contrast between traditional "input-based" delivery strategies versus The 3PQ© "outcome-based" delivery strategy. Details of why The 3PQ© Management System can assure targeted results is discussed. Attendees of this course will be able to understand the application of:

• The "3PQMatrix" strategy & Management System

• The "7 Universal" project expectations

• 3PQ© "Master Delivery"  scheduling

• "Integrated Project Team" (IPT) members required skill sets

• The "IPD Triangle", components of integration

Course material included

Contract Structures & Risk Controls► This module covers the contractual relationship of the IPT (specifically the Owner, Designer, and Builder), and how all members are empowered by 3PQ©. Specific roles, responsibilities, and 'decision-making' controls are demonstrated in detail. Hands-on "Risk Analysis" exercise demonstrates how the structure of 3PQ© Project Delivery is leveraged during RFQ/P Development, Evaluation & Selection, and Contract Execution. Fundamental concepts include:

• 3PQ© Contract Essentials & Project Risk Controls

• "Outcome Based" Incentives

• "Risk Analysis" Tools & Techniques

• Leveraging "Risk Analysis" through Evaluation/Selection

• Integrating "Lean Construction"

Course material included

Learn the "Language" of Performance

Back

Program & Performance Structure► This module details the 'metric' components of 3PQ©, including program and performance criteria. Techniques and guides of preliminary & final program, and performance criteria are demonstrated. Interactive demonstration of "out-come" prioritization is also covered. Fundamental concepts (leading to project success) include:

Using CSI Uniformat Performance Criteria

Integrating LEED© and sustainable design

Program Metrics Documentation

Handling Budget & Schedule Constraints

"Outcome Based" Prioritization & Flexibility

Maintaining the Owners Control

Course material included

Learn how to Manage Implementation

Project Administration, Quality Auditing, and Substantiation► This module details the administrative tools and techniques for operating a successful 3PQ© QA and Substantiation Program. Demonstration of templates and protocols include:

• Facilitation of the IPT (tools & techniques)

• Milestone Tracking & Reporting

• Substantiating Design & Construction

• Substantiation Tracking & Logs

• Commissioning & Operational Start-up

• Warrantees & Betterments

• General Administration

3PQ Acquisition & Management Workshop

1 - 4

Back

Module 1 through 4 Workshop► This interactive workshop combines instruction of the 3PQ Acquisition & Management System and the attending Owner's own project. Exercises conducted throughout the 4 Modules will use an actual project supplied by the owner; strengthening the Owner's understanding while completing critical tasks of the Project Definition, Procurement Model Development, and RFQ/P Documentation Phases of the 3PQ Matrix.

As some necessary coordination of the Owner's Project Information must take place to adapt the workshop; special arrangements need to take place. These can be arranged via phone and e-mail. This special workshop can be conducted in our conference facilities in Olathe, Kansas or at the Owner's facilities.

Design Management

for Builder Led

Design-Build

Back

"Managing the Design Process" ► This module is for builders who are leading 'the design-build entity', and want to understand and leverage the design process. With a historic perspective on the professions of design (architecture & engineering) "Design Management" demonstrates management strategies and applicable tools that assist the builder in controlling budget, scope, and schedule demands of the owner. Included:

• Risk Profiles of Owner / Designer / Builder

• Historic perspective of design

• Traditional vs. Integrated design processes

• How design management differs from construction management

• Integrating designers and builders

• Budget satisfaction via design portioning

• The design decision-making process

Course material included

Conceptual Estimating for Design-Build

6

Back

Conceptual Estimator "The Key to Design-Build Success" ► Taken from "Managing the Design Process" (Module 5), this module is for builders- specifically Estimators & Project Managers. This 1/2 Day class demonstrates the key links between design decision-making and cost control, and details the steps necessary to build a 'conceptual estimate' in the context of design-build delivery. Included:

• Risk Profiles of Owner / Designer / Builder

• Integrating designers and builders

• Budget satisfaction via design portioning

• The design decision-making process
