CIB Task Group 61 Benchmarking Construction
Performance Data

• Arto Saari

2
Purpose of this meeting

• To introduce CIB TG61
• Layout the Global Initiative
• To discuss the new Journal of Performance
  Information
• To identify if any interest exists in joining and
  partnering with the TG

Source of CIB TG61

• CIB TG61 comes out of the Performance Based
  Studies Research Group (PBSRG) at Arizona State
  University
• PBSRGs research involves the use of performance
  information in construction procurement and
  project management
• PBSRGs technology has be tested on over 420
  projects totaling over 400 Million in
  construction. The results are
• 98 of projects on time
• 98 of project on budget
• 98 of project no contractor generated chagne
  orders
• 100 customer satisfaction

CIB TG61 Vision

• To identify and capture the existence, use, and
  classification of performance information in the
  delivery and maintenance of facilities.  From
  this, create a resource to allow participants in
  the delivery and maintenance of facilities to
  better add value in their endeavors.

Objectives

• Identify what performance information and
  indicators are, which ones can be measured, and
  how they can be measured.
• Identify the impact of performance information on
  design, construction, and facility management
  performance
• Identify the impact of performance information in
  the determination of value
• Identify what performance information has been
  used to deliver and operate facilities
• Identify the different usages of performance
  information
• Identify the sustainability of the performance
  information to increase the value of construction
  over time

7
Strategic Tasks

• Identify a group of world experts and seek to
  achieve a form of consensus on performance
  indicators, definitions, experiences, and
  strategic implications.
• Identify the researchers and practitioners who
  have used (and currently use) performance
  information
• Identify uses of performance information and
  databases
• Identify the impact of performance information
  through surveys to construction clients
• Identify tests or implementations of performance
  information and their outcomes
• Identify areas of current and future research to
  promote the use of performance information
  databases to increase the performance of
  construction
• Publish a document of the results of the study
  and create an internet page to the findings

The Global Initiative
10
The Global Initiative

• To understand performance information TG61 is
  starting by capturing the current level of
  construction performance across the globe.
• To accomplish this, TG61 will move
  country-by-country looking for leaders and
  partners in each country to look within their own
  borders.

11
The Global Initiative

• Establish a dialogue through researchers and
  industry professionals in major countries across
  the globe
• Identify a CIB TG Leader for each country. This
  person or team will act as the key coordinator
  for the efforts in their country.
• Under the CIB banner, the TG Country Leader will
  coordinate with TG61 to bring academics and
  industry together.
• Each new participant will be added to an
  International Advisory Board and Journal
  Editorial Board to facilitate and coordinate the
  global effort.

12
The Global Initiative

• The academics and industry professionals will
  work together to capture and benchmark the
  performance of construction in their country.
  For each country this includes
• Identification of experts (persons) in the area
  of performance and value
• Identification of significant documents on
  performance information
• Identification of significant research papers and
  efforts to use performance and value in their
  country.
• Gather and summarize the above information for
  the new CIB Journal in Performance Information
• The information collected from all countries will
  be combined into a CIB resource that will allow
  academics and industry personnel to add value to
  their profession.

13
CIB Journal of Performance Information

• Basic Premise
• Performance information can cause change
• Proper use of performance information
• Risk Minimization
• Efficient Communication
• Schedule, budget, and client satisfaction
• System performance (manufacturing)
• Design performance
• Tracking and benchmarking
• Value measurement (value added)
• Quality, safety, profitability, etc.
