- Abstract
- The mission of the Construction Industry Institute (CII) is to improve construction cost effectiveness. Through its research the industry has been exposed to key management principles and concepts which could have a great influence on achieving successful project performance. CII research has also confirmed many recommendations suggested in the Business Roundtable's Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness (CICE) Study. These two volumes discuss an attempt to quantitatively measure the current level of utilization on projects of key principles and recommendations endorsed by CII/CICE. Current project performance is also evaluated. Key project characteristics influencing both utilization and performance are explored.
