Construction · Defined
Fast-track construction
Overlapping design, procurement, and construction so some work starts before all project design is complete.
Why it matters
Early starts can shorten elapsed time but create coordination and pricing exposure. Track unresolved design and the basis for packages already released. Subsequent design changes can affect work that has already been purchased or installed.
In practice
A project example
Foundations begin while upper-floor design is still being completed.
