Implementing CII’s Construction Readiness Methodology

The Construction Readiness Assessment (CRA) is a methodology developed by the Construction Industry Institute for

  • monitoring project health
  • ensuring productive construction starts
  • and avoiding out-of-sequence work

Construction industry research indicates that construction-ready projects have 20% better cost and scheduling performance compared to those projects that start construction without being ready.

We’ve helped owners, EPCs and contractors globally to achieve significant progress in ensuring projects are construction ready.

Valency has developed Carve for Construction Readiness as a key implementation resource to help organizations apply the findings from CII’s research and clearly identify whether or not a project is construction ready.
