Sustainable Development

A simple idea can evolve to a physical tool that contributes to our daily lifestyle.

Too many construction projects go over budget and are not completed on schedule. Both of these can have a drastic impact on the overall economics of a project. The lack of design innovation and construction efficiency is the primary cause of these problems. Even in the second millennium, there is significant room for improvement at a project planning phase that if appropriately addressed could ensure greater sustainability of most projects.

The current method of “Design – Construction” within a single organization may not necessarily consider all the outcomes at the end of construction and handover to operations. In fact, sometimes newly built facilities do not serve communities and stakeholders as planned. This is often because from the very beginning suppliers and vendors are asked to deliver their scope of work at the lowest cost without much consideration for what is best for the lifetime and socio-economics of the project.
