In 2008 the Churchill Northern Studies Centre was excited to announce the design and planning of a $15 million facility upgrade is underway.  “Integrated Designs Inc., a Saskatoon-based company with an office in Winnipeg, has been hired to coordinate design and to provide comprehensive project management for the duration of the redevelopment.”  

“We’re excited to take on the role of project managers for the CNSC and partner with an organization that is equally excited about developing a high-performance, practical, sustainable building project and utilize a lean and more integrated team based approach to delivering projects in Canada” says Murray Guy, founder of IDI a firm pioneering Integrated Project Delivery in Canada.

After reading the book “Broken Building Busted Budgets” our sponsor Michael Goodyear and the Executive team agreed to try the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach based upon the fact that it creates better value, delivers projects at less cost and risk.  It also helped to meet the challenging Infrastructure Funding spending requirements.

Lean Project Delivery works because it brings together people, systems, and business practices into a process that harnesses the talents and insights of all participants. The process increases value to the Centre, by reducing waste and creating efficiency in work flow.  One of the top priorities for this project was also to achieve extremely low operating costs as the CNSC needs to cover operating costs as no additional funds are available."
