Quality and Change Management Framework for Concurrent Design and Construction

Modern concurrent design and construction is common in the industry due to increased demand for faster time-to-market. However, despite its promise of speed, increased uncertainties and complexities in concurrent design and construction can make the project more difficult to handle. Main reasons for the potential risk include iterative quality improvement actions and change cycles introduced during the execution of concurrent construction that creates subsequent impacts on the project performance. In this context, this paper presents a framework for quality and change management in order to capture iterative cycles and their impacts during actual execution, particularly, in concurrent design and construction.
