| Abstract | The frequent market imperative for minimized project durations to catch the demand has
brought the Owner to better facilities for project to be delivered in less time, at less cost,
and with fewer risks. Fast-track is certainly selected to meet these demand and become
popular. With fast track project delivery system, a stage can start before the prior one is
complete, especially the overlap between design and construction works, which allow
project earlier completion than with traditional method. There no doubt that fast-tracking
offers many advantages and benefits, such as an earlier project completion, earlier
operation, earlier financial return and earlier transfer risk to construction. Therefore, fast
track project delivery in building projects become applicable strategy. In order to
understand how fast-track is implemented and key factors of effective fast-track project
together with problems and advantages, a case study is explored by approaching its
documentations, interviewing involved persons. The results show that fast-tracking not
only refer to overlapping activities between design and construction but also can extend to
development stage or even inside each construction package effectively. Their application
is widely during project stages. However, fast tracking can become a threat to quality, cost
and even schedule if not done carefully. Therefore, in order to apply fast track project
successful, owners should have proper plan. |
