2007 Annual Survey of Owners Available On-line
The annual joint venture between CMAA and FMI conducts a survey of owners of capital and private projects, and the 2007 Annual Survey of Owners (the Eighth Annual Survey) is now available on-line through the CMAA website.
TheFMI/CMAA Owners Survey, which has become an industry defining and forecasting instrument, “is focused on how owners are accelerating the transformation of the construction process through the use of technologies to enable program management, collaboration, and effective communication strategies.” (page 6)
The report highlights 7 distinct drivers of the construction industry:
- Aging Infrastructure
- Aging Workforce industry-wide
- Struggle to Attrach Generation Y, and retain Generation X’ers and baby boomers
- Accelerated Schedules, globalization, and increased complexity in construction
- the Ability to Learn Alternate Delivery and Financing Systems
- Pressure to Meet Global Competition
- Investment in Purposeful Training
As in every Annual Owners Survey, the 2007 edition delivers a litany of information for the construction industry. Other highlights from the survey are asummaries of CM processes, enabling technologies, and the Use and Practice of Building Information Modeling (BIM). And a quote that sums up the survey best…
From W, Edwards Deming, “It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.”
