The Vertigo of Disruptive Change

•Acceleration•Interconnection•Complexity•Intangibility•Convergence•Immediacy•Unpredictability•Scale


•$300-$500 billion annual WASTE(buildingSmartAlliance)

•50%+ Waste in the System(buildingSmartAlliance and Lean Construction Institute)

•70% Over Budget and Late(Egan report)

•48% of Green House Gases (Energy Info Admin Statistics and Pew Climate report)

Results of an Old Hammer


•Labor = 50% @ 30% efficiency = 35% waste

•Materials = 40% @ 70% efficiency = 12% waste

•QTO = up to10% of the cost

•Bidding = 5%+ of the cost of a project

•Change orders between 2-10% of the cost

•Contingencies up to 7%

•Team Learning Curve = 1-2%

•3-7% is lost in project cost reduction by not maximizing Construction Tax Planning
