Читать книгу Integrating Sustainability Into Major Projects - Wayne McPhee - Страница 41

In a self-perform structure, the owner manages all aspects of the project themselves and hires contractors and consultants as required to deliver specific pieces of work that the owner's team cannot handle themselves. This structure is typical where the project is an expansion of an existing facility or a new facility for a large organization that has a strong capacity for project delivery.

A self-perform project structure can be positive from a sustainability integration perspective as there is little to no disconnect between the goals of the owner and the goals of the project delivery team. The down side is that self-perform project teams can become isolated from emerging trends and may not be fully up to speed on new technologies and new ways of delivering projects. Self-perform teams should be open to innovation from contractors and suppliers so that they can deliver successful projects.
