Case study : assessment of innovation on a P3 project process perspective

University of British Columbia

This study focuses on the construction business, where new ideas, system technologies, new and or enhanced materials, innovative construction techniques and associated equipment and facilities management processes are being constantly developed to aid greater efficiency in terms of time, money and functionality. This thesis includes an analysis of innovation in terms of the process perspective between the indicative design and proposals submitted for the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre building (IHSC) in Kelowna, BC. The study focus relates to how the facility will be constructed and how it will be operated. Items reviewed and compared are: structure, schedule and energy consumption. For this study the indicative design was used as a starting point and basis for comparison with the proposals submitted in response to the RFP. For the purpose of this study a description of innovation was selected as, “The use of advanced technologies, methodologies, and clever ideas that result in a positive incremental change compared to the indicative design”. Along with this definition, a set of performance metrics were defined for the purpose of characterizing the proposals and then comparing them with the indicative design.
