Advanced Work Packaging

Advanced Work Packaging is a project execution methodology with roots in Alberta and grown by COAA. Embraced globally, a question remained on the clear return on investment of AWP implementation. With expertise and financial support from COAA, the University of Alberta’s NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Strategic Construction Modelling and Delivery, Dr. Aminah Robinson Fayek, PH.D., P.Eng., undertook a research project to develop a framework to capture the costs and benefits of AWP through various maturity levels.

After two years’ work, the research was announced and presented at the 2018 COAA Best Practices Conference and can be found here.

COAA members are encouraged to read the research and understand the implications of implementing Advanced Work Packaging on their projects.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Construction Owners Association of Alberta recognizes that COAA’s office in Edmonton is located within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We further acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations and we are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
