International Conference on Transportation Construction Management
In 2004, executives from Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and industry visited several European countries to look into advancements in construction management. The scan team members were profoundly impacted by the way their peers were addressing customer expectations along with expanded preconstruction responsibilities.
The Scan Team, transitioning into the FHWA-AASHTO-Industry Construction Management Expert Task Group, is exploring ways to:
- align customer, owner and contractor expectations to the construction
- select the best alternative delivery method to attain specific project goals
- minimize risk through formalized risk assessment and allocation techniques
- better allocate limited construction resources to accomplish the work
- provide higher incentives to contractors for improved quality
This 1st International Conference on Transportation Construction Management is a major outreach, initiated and managed by the Expert Task Group.
