OJEU for Earliest Involvement

At yesterday's Collaborative Working Champions meeting, we explored why people appear to find it so difficult to appoint their team members (all the key players from designers, through contractors and specialist to manufacturers and suppliers) at or vey near to the beginning of a project. We concluded that one of the barriers is a belief that OJEU either precludes it and/or would require significant amendment to the OJEU process.

Welcome to the Collaborative Working Champions network

The Collaborative Working Champions network, founded by Constructing Excellence, is a place for people interested in working more efficiently in the architecture, engineering, construction and facilities management (FM) sectors. Building on lessons learned from real projects undertaken using approaches based on integrated collaborative working, the network is aimed to help you play your part in creating a better, more sustainable built environment - from planning and design through construction to occupation and management of buildings, infrastructure, etc.

Use the forum to ask questions of the whole network. Use Groups to discuss specific themes (why not start a group, invite friends and share your ideas?). Publicise events on collaborative working themes, write your own blog post about something that might interest others, or share a download (more website help here).

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) - in a nutshell

BIM crops up as a topic at Constructing Excellence meetings a lot these days, and I've heard some talk of integrated project delivery (IPD) too - particularly when people put the technology to one side and think about the contractual, procurement and other process issues, which American businesses such as Tocci Building (John Tocci spoke at last Autumn's Autodesk conference in London) are grappling with.

But what does IPD actually involve? I found this AUGI article by…
