Pdri
- 2. The PDRI is a simple and easy-to-use tool for measuring the degree of scope development on building projects. Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI) for Building Projects is a powerful and simple tool that helps meet this need by offering a method to measure project scope definition for completeness. It is adapted from the PDRI for Industrial Projects
- 3. The PDRI identifies and precisely describes each critical element in a scope definition package and allows a project team to quickly predict factors impacting project risk. It is intended to evaluate the completeness of scope definition at any point prior to the time a project is considered for development of construction documents and construction. Building type projects may include the following: • Offices • Schools (classrooms) • Banks • Stores and shopping centers • Apartments • Parking structures • Warehouses • Airport terminals
- 4. The PDRI is quick and easy to use. It is a "best practice" tool that will provide numerous benefits to the building industry. A few of these include: • A checklist that a project team can use for determining the necessary steps to follow in defining the project scope • A listing of standardized scope definition terminology throughout the building industry • An industry standard for rating the completeness of the project scope definition package to facilitate risk assessment and prediction of escalation, potential for disputes, etc. • A means to monitor progress at various stages during the front end planning effort • A means for project team participants to reconcile differences using a common basis for project evaluation • A training tool for organizations and individuals throughout the industry
- 5. Who Should Use the PDRI? Anyone wishing to improve the overall performance on their projects should use the PDRI. Designers and constructors use it as a method of identifying poorly defined project scope definition elements. The PDRI provides a means for all project participants to communicate and reconcile differences using an objective tool as a common basis for project scope evaluation.
