Abstract:
|
Over the past 50 years there has been a significant decline in the quality of constructed outcomes
in the Australian building industry. The decline can be readily attributed structural changes in
project delivery methodologies that have been brought about by the focus of some industry
participants on time, cost and profit at the expense of quality, durability and the project
encapsulated environmental health. The changes have been stimulated by legislative changes that
have increased the complexity of compliance while at the same time reducing the oversight of work
to ensure compliance. A striking impact of these changes has been to force changes to the
leadership of the project delivery process where the focus of the effort is on project economics to
the exclusion of meeting the project brief and the projects long term durability.
