“…Through the project delivery method, the owner emphasised relational aspects instead of just transactional. However, as the owner loosened up transactional regulations, the need for trust, shared goals, and follow-up by management increased (Engebø et al, 2020a). The project team started with just the ambitions laid out by the owner and the predefined allowable cost.…”

Target costing aims at making both cost and value to drivers for design. Still, few have studied how this is done in a high-performance building project, where a set of parameters beyond the typical cost, schedule, and quality parameters are optimised. Here we explore how a construction project team collaborated to reach the owner's allowable cost during design using observations and document study. The findings show that the owner should precisely describe expectations before starting Target Value Design. If not, the owner will get disengaged or develop suspicion towards provided cost estimates. Furthermore, we argue that the typical development of expected cost can inhibit a high-performing design team. The expected cost typically starts at the owner's allowable cost, increases drastically during design, and has to be substantially reduced. The consequence is that a highperforming team's mood moves from optimism towards realism and eventually into a realm where challenges occur. The domain where challenges arise is when the project team must substantially reduce the expected cost to reach an acceptable level. To remain high-performing throughout, the project team should avoid a drastic increase in expected cost in the initial stages.

“…The delivery of large projects demands collaboration among several stakeholders (Invernizzi et al ., 2019). The key element of collaboration in construction projects is related to the involvement of cross-disciplinary stakeholders at the project start-up working together throughout the project phases (Engebø et al ., 2020). It provides a framework to achieve the project goals through cross-functional collaboration and shared vision (Ko et al ., 2011; Fanousse et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeThis article aims to address the confusion related to the meanings of interorganisational cooperation, control, coordination and collaboration in collaborative projects by developing a conceptual framework. From this, the authors aim to describe the links among these concepts in terms of development levels of stakeholder relationships. In addition, the authors aim to identify challenges and preconditions in relation to developing relationships at different levels.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have adopted the directed approach of qualitative content analysis method to validate and extend the conceptual framework of this study. The context of this study is a large hospital construction project located in northern Finland.FindingsThe findings of this study suggest that collaboration is a multilevel process of active engagement of multiple stakeholders. These stakeholders must have a high degree of shared understanding in terms of cooperation, control and coordination to achieve the mutually desired outcomes. This study also identifies the challenges that project stakeholders could face in developing collaborative relationships and propose preconditions for the same.Practical implicationsThis study provides a better understanding for project managers to manage interorganisational collaborative construction projects successfully. The outcome of this research would be beneficial to project management team to deliver dispute-free construction projects.Originality/valueExisting practical research on the development of relationships at different levels in collaborative construction projects is limited. This study offers a framework for the same which is validated in a real-life project.

Lean Integrated Project Delivery for Construction Procurement: The Case of Sri Lanka

et al. 2022

The choice of proper procurement methods has an impact on the overall productivity and sustainability of construction projects. The current procurement methods have alerted the construction industry (CI) due to the exacerbating fragmentation among parties and the resulting low level of productivity. Therefore, introducing a new procurement system to eliminate the above challenges is imperative to the CI. Therefore, this research investigated the applicability of lean integrated project delivery (LIPD) as a construction procurement system and developed a framework for its successful implementation. A qualitative exploratory approach was adopted, informing an interpretivism stance. Accordingly, semi-structured interviews with 15 Sri Lankan (SL) CI experts were conducted to determine the applicability of the LIPD concept in a real-life CI context. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the collected data. This research identified the significance of LIPD compared to existing procurement methods, which may contribute to the long-term planning and management practices in the CI. However, the findings elicited several barriers that could hinder successful LIPD implementation. As a result, some of the strategies discovered include providing LIPD training and awareness, obtaining expert support, and encouraging professionals. This is the first study of its kind to reveal a LIPD framework in a developing country like SL without restricting itself to a specific construction type. Therefore, this study is expected to impact the global CI by paving the way for LIPD as a new procurement system to improve the performances of similar CIs in developing countries across the world.
