<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Friday December 13, 2013 the P2SL Target Value Design Research Group met at DPR's headquarters in Redwood City. In attendance were 14 industry professionals including an architect, structural engineers, mechanical subcontractors, electrical subcontractors, electrical engineers, general contractor, and researchers from UC Berkeley's Project Production Systems Laboratory.</span></h4>

<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The group was formed in the fall of 2010 to study Target Value Design and Integrated Project Delivery on three large scale hospital projects. At the time, TVD and IPD were fairly new concepts and the initial goals for the research were:</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Improve the target value design (TVD) process when applied in Lean/IPD projects.</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></h4>
<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Adapt the target value design process to other applications; e.g., proposal and bid development, design-build projects.</span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4 style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the meeting Dr. Glenn Ballard, who had been one of the founders of the Lean Construction movement and the principal investigator for the P2SL TVD Research Group, presented the lesson learned from the first three years of research. Some of these lessons include:</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></h4>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">Since 2004, </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">Universal Health Services</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> has used TVD on around 50 construction projects that range in value from $500,000 to $215 million. Within the same time span, Sutter Health completed over 20 capital delivery projects using the TVD and IPD. The results from UHS and Sutter Health's projects were compared with the Construction Industry Institute (CII) data of healthcare and laboratory construction projects. </span></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">The preliminary data analysis shows that there is a strong statistical significance between TVD projects and the industry benchmark in terms of controlling project cost overruns. TVD and IPD projects have also had less contingency than the industry average which might suggests that collaboration is a better way of managing project risks -- reducing both the likelihood and consequences of project failures.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;">The final results will be published in the upcoming conference of International Group of Lean Construction (IGLC) in 2014.</span></h4>

<li><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Progressive specification is the typical architectural design strategy. Its challenge is that nothing is complete until everything is complete—the ultimate big batch. OSHPD’s phased plan review implies a different strategy; one that requires learning how to design functions and components in such a way as to leave room for functions and components not yet fully designed. This flexibility looks to be achieved through buffering (e.g., leave additional space, provide additional bearing capacity, etc.) but perhaps also through standardization of interfaces, which is linked to modularization. </span></span></li>
