Congratulations to Dudley Advance II. A project in the Midlands leading the way on collaboration and delivering value.
Dudley College’s Advance II block is the UK’s first to use integrated project insurance.
“The multi-party Alliance Board under the IPI Model, Advance II shows a saving of 6.5% against the investment target and a 99% achievement of the success criteria (with 23% exceeded) and widespread profitability of partners and their supply chains.
Furthermore, Advance II was fully proven and ready to use at the occupation and the clinics which carried soft landings into the operational period have been suspended as operators and occupants simply aren’t finding any issues to report! Oh, and if you want further confirmation as to what Dudley College thought about it – they are already signed up for their next investment, a c.£26m project for transformational technologies.
Not surprisingly then, I commend this report to you as a textbook example of how to “Provide an exemplar of high performing energy efficient space delivered using a leading edge procurement Model” (PQQ October 2014).
So if you are seeking superior performance it’s time to stop dabbling with elemental change and expecting something different to happen and instead embrace fundamental revision of the entire construction delivery model; a big step perhaps but one that has been proven to be worth it”.
