While CIPs can offer a number of benefits, including consistency of coverage and potential cost savings, they are not the best option for every project. A comprehensive and balanced feasibility study, which goes beyond the savings model, can provide essential information about the requirements, potential pitfalls, and staffing and planning required for a successful CIP. This session provides a technical review of critical elements to consider before entering into a CIP from a variety of perspectives: owner, contractor, subcontractor, construction or project manager, and design professional. Learn how to develop a comprehensive risk profile, identify project-specific risks, prepare a cost/ benefit analysis, and uncover the regulatory and market conditions to determine whether a CIP is suitable for a specific project.
