The article discusses the persistent issue of project delays in New York, exemplified by long-term construction on the Van Wyck Expressway. The author, with a background in construction, highlights how these delays stress public resources and patience. With potential funding cuts and increasing material costs, swift action is urged. Alternative Delivery methods, such as Design-Build and Construction Manager Build, are proposed as innovative solutions. They encourage early collaboration between builders and designers, leading to better problem-solving, reduced delays, and opportunities for diverse firms, ultimately benefiting the community.
Alternative Delivery offers a smarter, more collaborative approach to construction that promises faster completion times, better cost management, and increased opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses.
New York needs to act now to embrace Alternative Delivery methodologies in order to tackle ongoing project delays and rising costs exacerbated by funding cuts and tariffs.
