Construction stage services cost more if the design is still being done when construction begins.

Target all the design to be done before construction begins.

If that is not possible, try to have complete deliverables packages complete before construction begins.

If design is still proceeding when construction starts, the constructors will require a lot more input from the designers, leading to higher design costs (in construction stage services).

Make sure your team knows who is responsible for what work.

People who need to know are:

• Team members
• Project manager
• Organization Management

If people don’t know, then they communicate to the wrong people, there is confusion and lack of accountability for work packages, there is lower efficiency as some work packages get more resources than necessary, and some get too few or none.
