The Preconstruction Phase
Success starts early with DIRTT’s preconstruction services. We establish the shared cost, schedule, and performance targets that help project teams deliver on time and on budget.
Lean Construction and Pull Planning
Our turnkey lean-planning approach improves workflow, eliminates bottlenecks, and reduces waste. We sequence projects based on readiness, so work is pulled through the process only when prerequisites are complete.
How it works
We align factory production with assembly sequencing so that teams across design, manufacturing, and installation are working together. This transparency means there are no surprises. Activities are linked to actual project needs, so waste is reduced and work proceeds without delays.
Because we manufacture all components, we can leverage lean construction and pull planning to bring clockwork precision to even the most complex projects. Sequencing manufacturing work with installation timing supports just-in-time delivery and smooth workflows.
Targeted Value Estimating
Targeted value estimating lets cross-functional teams test options for value, constructability, and sustainability. It’s an approach that establishes shared goals to support steady progress and continuous improvement.
Early alignment of design, cost, and performance is at the heart of targeted value estimating. It’s a method that is consistent with the Design Build Institute of America’s principles of collaboration and integration. More importantly, it delivers a host of benefits.
Establishing shared targets creates alignment between design and construction teams. When cost is a design constraint from the outset, decision-making is based on all factors. Plus, there’s no need to wait until design is completed before estimating. Schedule, operational performance, and sustainability can also be incorporated in project targets.
