In this episode, Barbara and Fred discuss the technical aspects of closing out projects but through the lens of collaboration? How can teams work together during closeout to minimize long term problems and to ensure success for all team members? Avoid Post Project Stress Syndrome by communicating and collaborating!

 

Critical elements of project closeout include:

1) Certificate of Occupancy does not mean you are one

2) Inspections and punch lists can be stressful

3) Warranties and post project services must be clarified

4) As-built documentation including BIM models can be an opportunity to help the owner

5) Saying good-bye to a project is a team experience

Fred and Barbara discuss TCO, the Total Cost of Ownership, and why knowing the TCO is critical to effective decision-making during design. Shouldn't you be curious about the energy costs, maintenance costs, interest costs, and other costs that may make it difficult to afford ownership?

See the ChatGPT assessment of TCO below:

When trying to reduce TCO, building owners may face several challenges, including:

Balancing short-term and long-term costs: Some cost-saving measures may have an upfront cost but lead to long-term savings. For example, investing in energy-efficient technology may have a higher upfront cost but lead to significant savings in utility costs over the building's lifespan.

Finding the right balance of cost-saving measures: Building owners may need to implement multiple cost-saving measures to achieve their desired TCO reduction. However, finding the right balance of cost-saving measures can be challenging, as some measures may conflict with each other or have unintended consequences.

Maintaining quality: Cost-saving measures should not compromise the quality of the building or its operations. For example, reducing custodial staff to save on wages may lead to a decline in cleanliness, which could negatively impact the building's reputation and tenant satisfaction.

Securing financing: Some cost-saving measures may require significant upfront investment, such as upgrading to energy-efficient technology or retrofitting a building for accessibility. Building owners may need to secure financing to implement these measures, which can be challenging, particularly for small or medium-sized building owners.

Changing tenant behavior: Some cost-saving measures may require changes in tenant behavior, such as turning off lights or adjusting thermostat settings. Building owners may need to educate and incentivize tenants to adopt these changes, which can be difficult to achieve.

Overall, reducing TCO requires a careful balance of cost-saving measures, long-term planning, and a commitment to maintaining quality and sustainability. Building owners may benefit from consulting with experts in building operations and finance to develop a comprehensive strategy for reducing TCO.

In this episode Fred and Barbara inspired by Episode 776 of This American Life, I Work Better on a Deadline, seek to understand the role of deadlines in the design and construction industries, exploring the pros and cons of working with deadlines as well as providing some insights on deadline management.

Five ways to think about deadlines for architects, contractors, and owners:

  1. Break down the big deadline into manageable smaller deadlines.
  2. Schedule decisions required to make each deadline.
  3. Schedule and collect decision-ready information as required to meet deadlines - don't solve problems too early or  quickly if you do not have sufficient information
  4. Create a sense of urgency early on in a project so that decisions and deadlines can be managed thoughtfully - don't procrastinate
  5. Keep project values and principles up front to stay focused on why deadlines are important - For example, your project deadline may be part of a larger owner deadline.

Fred and Barbara are inspired by Dave Gilmore from DesignIntelligence and his short podcast on "Keeping Your Head" (Ep. 168). How leaders manage challenges during difficult times can make or break your projects.

Dave Gilmore's Advice for Keeping Your Head includes:

  1. "Keep your head, maintain common sense, refuse to accept baseless, factless, highly opinionated input."
  2. "Pull your trusted team in and ensure you are all on the same page. There is no room for misalignment."
  3. "Lift your head and secure client relationships. They need to know you are about their needs as your own."
  4. "Plan your work. far too many are in reaction mode not planning, not maintaining strategic perspectives. Get the help you need to research, articulate, author, and execute."
