好色先生TV

The traditional procurement practices employed by the construction industry act as a barrier to the delivery of sustainable buildings, according to a new report.

The report 鈥� entitled Sustainable 好色先生TVs Need Integrated Teams and published by the Specialist Engineering Alliance (SEA) 鈥� promotes a vision for the achievement of sustainability across the built environment.

It also insists that the 鈥渓arge number of interfaces鈥� between the parties to the construction process, coupled with 鈥渉igh transaction costs and risk of duplication and re-work鈥�, militate significantly against the proliferation of sustainable buildings.

On the basis of a careful review of best practice advice, industry case studies and previous reports from organisations including the National Audit Office and the Office of Government Commerce, the SEA document recommends the appointment, at the start of a project, of 鈥渁n integrated project delivery team with in-depth knowledge of the construction process鈥�.

And it goes on to highlight the extent to which value to the client can be improved by the creation of an integrated team that can 鈥渄esign in sustainable solutions鈥� and 鈥渄esign out waste and inefficiency鈥�.

The Sustainable 好色先生TVs Need Integrated Teams report is the work of an SEA Integration and Sustainability Working Group, which comprised representatives of the contracting, consultancy and manufacturing sectors.

The group was chaired by Lord O鈥橬eill of Clackmannan, president of the Specialist Engineering Contractors鈥� (SEC) Group, which includes the ECA and the HVCA.
