Projects, Programs and Product – Dale Sinclair – WSP

Demand for construction is predicted to double globally by 2040. Regardless of whether projects are adaptions of existing buildings or new build, current workflow cannot meet the scale of demand nor the need for faster delivery. Simply, single constructed projects cannot deliver the future. WSP has been pioneering its kit-of-parts (KoP) approach for five years and now has more than twenty case studies. Unlike KoP geared to construction, WSP’s approach looks at shifting towards program approaches that go well beyond current norms moving towards program-ready product that is procured on project one and made ready and reusable for project two onwards. This talk unpacks the learning from recent case studies and sets out a compelling vision for the future.
