  1. MORTENSON The “Design - Build Chain” Concept Pat Burns, P.E., BGen USAF(R) Vice President Mortenson Construction Federal Contracting Group 703-498-8624

  2. Overview • Background On What Started The Idea • The “Design - Build Chain” Model • Results It Achieved

  3. ACC Design/Construction Workload February 2001 Staff was using 3 Year AVG Historical Workload Projection

  4. ACC Design/Construction Workload March 2001 Asked to See 5 Year Ahead Programmed Workload Projection

  5. ACC Design/Construction WorkloadSeptember 2001 How To Handle Actual 300% Workload Increase with same size staff ?

  6. The “Design - Build Chain” Link the design - build process steps to leverage project delivery !

  7. 3D Virtual Engineering Visualization Ellsworth AFB Main Gate Design Concept What is it? • Using commercial off the shelf software to bring text and drawings to life in 3D • Fully narrated CD with voice-over and background soundtrack 3D / 4D Video • Illustrates siting, design, exterior rendering, and interior walkthrough Why is it value added? • Bridges the gap between design professionals and facility users • Focuses on the end product • Lays the foundation for the real design How do we plan to accomplish it? • ACC now uses 3D Virtual Engineering Visualization for every MILCON project • Early teaming with A/E & user pays off Bridges gap between user’s vision and design professional’s concept

  8. The “Design - Build Chain”

  9. Integrated Planning Framework (IPF) What is it? • Integrated 3D approach to improve base development planning • Fuses WG/CC vision, Base Master Plan, and long-term investment strategy • Formally Zones the base and puts in place Base Planning Commission Nellis AFB Main Base Area Why will it bevalue added? • Formally controls base planning from environmental clean up, to construction • Integrates individual building planning in larger base planning framework • Opens up base development plans to local communities via website 3D GIS Mapping access How do we planto accomplish it? • Piloted at Nellis and Langley AFBs • Completing all ACC bases in CY05 Fuses individual project plan into larger base development program

  10. The “Design - Build Chain”

  11. Customer Concept Documents (CCD) What is it? • Early, professional look at user requirements • On site study of utilities/site constraints • Guidance in architectural/design parameters • Accurate parametric cost estimates • 3D model, floor plans, communication, furniture Why is it Value Added? • Clearly pins down user requirements up front • Provides reliable detailed cost estimate • Delivers general floor plan, elevations, and utility layouts… essentially a 35% Design How Do We Plan To Accomplish it? • We Conduct a Customer Concept Document Charrette on every MILCON project • Gives us a 6 month – 1 year head start ! Ensures what you plan and program is what you design to

  12. The “Design - Build Chain”

  13. Quality Schedule & Cost (QSC) What is it? • Best Value approach to awarding contracts • Balances Quality, Schedule, & Cost according to what’s most important for that particular project Why is it Value Added? • Takes advantage of contractor strengths • Tightens emphasis on improved schedules • Improves emphasis on cost controls How Do We Plan To Accomplish it? • Using QSC Best Value on every MILCON Project Possible $$ Experience Quality Schedule Emphasizes design quality schedule & cost are what we award on

  14. The “Design - Build Chain”

  15. Schedule & Cost Goals FY 98 MILCON Schedule Growth What is it? • AF/Agent/Contractor focus on 0% Schedule Growth • Implemented 30-40% shorter construction duration • AF/Agent/Contractor focus on 0% Cost Growth • Implemented Agents in tighter cost control Why is it Value Added? • Every % of a $1.5B annual program is a lot of $$ • Schedule growth in military is a Readiness issue How Do We Plan To Accomplish it? • $5M project max duration is 365 days. • $20M project max duration is 540 days. • Accomplish “Agent Score Card” on Corps and NAVFAC Agents on every project and overall 75% Behind Schedule On Schedule FY 98 MILCON Cost Growth 50% Over Cost >2% <2% Within Cost Keeps focus on what we design and award is what we construct

  16. The “Design - Build Chain” $$ Experience Quality Schedule

  17. Construction 4D Modeling What is it? • Linkage of 3D design model with construction schedule into a “4D construction model” • Living construction plan for both the entire site and key project elements that gets updated over time Why will it be value added? • Forms team commitment and solidifies the plan for project construction • Integrates design, especially in design-build to schedule constructability How do we plan to accomplish it? • Pilot model used for overall integration of F-22 Beddown Construction at Langley AFB • Will phase in on all major projects over $50M Focuses the construction team to deliver the project on schedule

  18. The “Design - Build Chain” $$ Experience Quality Schedule

  19. The Red Zone What is it? • An execution charrette • ACC/Agent/Contractor meeting 90 days before beneficial occupancy • Structured plan that aims to move projects to completion faster and more efficiently Why will it be value added? • Forms team commitment and solidifies the plan for project completion and financial close-out • Identifies all potential obstacles to on-time project completion and closure How do we plan to accomplish it? • 30 min. training video distributed to all customers, agents, and contemporaries • Now used today on all Air Force and Army MILCON projects ! Focuses the construction team to deliver the project right

  20. The “Design - Build Chain” 75% $$ Experience Quality Schedule

  21. ACC MILCON Cost Growth COST GROWTH = CONTRACT CHANGES AFTER AWARD ORIGINAL CONTRACT AWARD PRICE Zero % Cost Goal Established GOOD # COMPL/# PROJ % CNS Complete 16/16 100% 15/15 100% 19/19 100% 16/21 99% 10/17 97% 7/27 62% 1/30 29% 4% of $1.5B annual construction program is worth saving!

  22. ACC MILCON Schedule Growth New Construction Duration Times Established Per Cent of Projects on schedule GOOD # COMPL/# PROJ % CNS Complete 16/16 100% 15/15 100% 19/19 100% 16/21 99% 10/17 97% 7/27 62% 1/30 29% From 50% Behind Schedule for last 3 Yrs to 90% Ahead of Schedule Today

  23. Results Summary “Design - Build Chain concept is working for ACC as an integrated project delivery process!” • Handling 300% project workload increase • Achieving 30-40% shorter construction durations • 90% of projects finishing early vice 75% late • Delivering quality projects to user expectations • Earned best Design & Construction in USAF 4 years in a row • Selected by Buildings Magazine as #8 of “Top 25 Firms for 2004” • Selected by ENR Magazine for “Top 25 Newsmaker Award” 2005 3D Linked the Design - Build process to leverage project delivery !
