Construction industry cost effectiveness: It does have an impact
Description
In 1983, the Business Roundtable published what is considered today a landmark report on the Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness (CICE) project. Later that same year NSP resumed construction of its 800 MW coal fired Sherburne County Unit 3 project in Becker, MN, which had begun construction back in 1977, but was halted due to revised load projections, with less than 1% of construction complete. Realizing the significant rise in power plant costs that had occurred over the delay period NSP decided to implement many suggestions proposed in the CICE report to improve labor productivity for the project. With the project successfully completed in 1987 on time and within budget, this paper will review the Construction Industry Cost Effectiveness strategies employed by Northern States Power and their impact on the project
