Behavioral-Physical Research: Trust and Innovative Delivery

The Smart Bees Lab has been conducting research on innovative project delivery and contracting solutions (e.g., IPD and Flash Tracking) that facilitate and promote trust-building among the construction supply chain participants and significantly shorten the project duration.

Featured Research

The collaborative research on Flash Tracking has led to the identification of essential flash track practices, development of a Flash Track Readiness Assessment Toolkit, and an innovative project delivery workflow process.
