Abstract
The mission of the Construction Industry Institute (CII) is to improve construction cost effectiveness. Through CII 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 also has confirmed many recommendations suggested in The Business Roundtable's Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness (CICE) Project. This publication discusses an attempt to measure quantitatively the current level of utilization on projects of key principles and recommendations endorsed by CII/CICE. Current project performance also is evaluated. Key project characteristics influencing both utilization and performance are explored. The results presented reflect the perceptions of respondents from various owner companies involved in the design and construction of facilities. The database for the study consists of 773 respondents representing 105 owner companies. Each respondent completed an in-depth questionnaire reflecting his/her experiences on recent projects.
