Description
This newly updated Implementation Resource comes with a set of instructions and two Excel®-based tools. It provides project stakeholders a means of determining project activities that require construction input during front end planning and whether those resources are available in-house or need to be brought onboard. This publication was developed to support the CII Front End Planning Best Practice and it specifically addresses interfaces with the Project Definition Rating Indices (PDRI) for Buildings and Industrial Projects.

Description
Many projects do not include adequate construction input during front end planning (FEP), resulting in projects falling short of their goals. Historically the primary stakeholders in a project (i.e. owners, designers, and constructors) are not aligned and tend to operate in their own domains. As a result the needed collaboration is not obtained and projects do not achieve the level of success that is possible.

CII has developed an Excel®-based decision aid—Construction Input Assessment Tool (CIAT)—to help get construction input at the right time and level of effort during FEP. CIAT provides project stakeholders with a means of determining project items and activities that require construction input during front end planning. It also will assist in evaluating if adequate construction expertise is available or if outside sources are needed.

This education module provides the venue for teaching the background of the tool, how, when and with whom to employ it, and provides an opportunity to use the tool in hypothetical situations.

Education modules are not available for download from the Internet.

This publication contains:

• PowerPoint^® presentation files
• IR241-2, Construction Input Assessment Tool (CIAT), Version 1.1

Description
Project success often depends on the timing and nature of early construction input in the front end planning process. Unlike constructability, however, the tactic described here is prior to the design phase. Describes an Excel®-based tool, the Construction Input Assessment Tool, which provides stakeholders a means of determining project activities that require construction input during front end planning and whether those resources are available in-house or need to be brought onboard.
