Workshop 5 : Set-Based Design and Design for Release – Foundational Practices for Target Value Delivery Success

Cynthia
C.Y. Tsao

Founder
Building AEC Learning

Owner
Navilean, LLC

On Lean/IPD projects, Target Value Delivery is the framework for project team members to develop and refine the project design so it meets the target program, scope, budget, and schedule.

Within that framework, projects form cluster groups (e.g., structural, facade, and mechanical + electrical) that advance their designs to eliminate project risks and realize opportunities.

Fundamental to this effort’s success is Set-Based Design and Design for Release. Join Cynthia Tsao to revisit the case study that she presented on Industry Day at IGLC-30 to understand how project teams can leverage these practices to minimize escalation risks and realize opportunities for innovation across cluster groups.

Workshop attendees should have a basic understanding of Lean/IPD but it is not required.

Attendees with more Lean/IPD experience are encouraged to share their experiences in trying to make this happen on their projects to expand the workshop’s discussion and sharing of lessons learned.

Additionally, Annett has guided teams in strategic decision-making using CBA and co-founded CollabDecisions, a platform aimed at sharing knowledge on collaborative decision-making approaches.

Choosing By Advantages (CBA) is a powerful system to make collaborative decisions for design and construction that aligns with lean thinking.

Project teams have to make many decisions; waiting for the owner or architect to make them in isolation is not a wise strategy. Teams that systematically use CBA in a collaborative fashion significantly decrease negative design iterations, save time and money for the owner, and reduce team frustration. CBA helps teams align on what is relevant, understand why decisions were made on a project, and find innovative design and construction solutions.

This workshop will provide the basis for CBA. Through exercises, we will discuss best practices to manage the decision-making process.

Learning objectives:

Understand the importance of decision-making methods.
Learn the basics of CBA.
Understand the difference between CBA and other decision-making methods.
Create a transparent rationale for group decisions.

Proposal No. 4 - The Paris 2024 Athletes' Village by Delta Partners

Delta Partners is an engineering firm specializing in Lean construction. On this project, we are the project manager and pilot for the entire Athletes' Village river eco-neighborhood, a real estate complex comprising 24 buildings with a surface area of over 50,000m² under new construction.

It includes 2 office buildings, a 150-room hotel, a 140-room university residence, an aquatic center, 1 arts complex and 14 residential buildings (350 units). The construction program is highly ambitious, as all the buildings are designed to achieve very high energy and consumption labels (NF HQE, E3C1, Bream).

To achieve these objectives, 50% of the buildings have been designed with structural or facade elements in wood (3D modules, FOB, MOB, and FOB-MOB mix), numerous constructive innovations have been patented (notably for wood-concrete connectors), and many technical opinions are subject to ATEX (technical assessment of experimentation).

To cope with these constructive innovations, Delta Partners has had to adapt its organizational methodologies for the design study, site preparation and installation phases (assembly of elements designed off-site).

As many of these elements are industrial components, on-site assembly on this scale is an experiment, requiring long hours of organizational engineering (site phasing, dynamic PIC, site logistics).

It is also worth noting that this project is probably the first on this scale, and with work devolved to separate trades, to be designed and managed using all the tools and methods of Lean construction, namely collaborative planning workshops, agile LPS® facilitation sessions and geotemporal planning.

Last but not least, it should be noted that this district is located on an island (Saint Denis), and given its location, the project required the creation of logistical flow modeling tools correlated with planning and construction progress, as these represent all production bottlenecks. The modeling tools are currently being patented.

Bus transport provided. Limited to 20 people.

Departure by bus from the metro station 4 cantons Cité Scientifique at 13:30.

Exact meeting time on site: 4:30 pm.

Return time (+/- 30 min): 7:00 pm.

Arrive to the metro station 4 cantons Cité Scientifique : 10:00 pm +/- 30 minutes.
