The commercial real estate revolution: nine transforming keys to lowering costs, cutting waste, and driving change in a broken industry

Commercial real estate-the way it is currently done-is a money pit. Every business, organization, or owner that builds a commercial building pays a hidden tax made up of delays, cost overruns, poor quality, rework-and not building what was really needed. Why? Because our current system of deciding, designing, and delivering these buildings is fundamentally broken. ‘Business as usual’ inthe commercial building industry is a fragmented, adversarial process that regularly results in over-budget, over-schedule projects and poor quality buildings. All too often, it ends in litigation and bitterness. The building industry has tried to reform itself unsuccessfully, but the change can only come frombusiness executives, and owners who insist on a new paradigm for the industry, and refuse to continue paying for the current dysfunctional system. The Commercial Real Estate Revolution is a bold manifesto and roadmap by the Mindshiftconsortium, nineteen top commercial real estate industry leaders fed up with a system that makes good people do bad things.’ The book explains how businessleaders and owners can implement 9 principles for new buildings that will dramatically cut costs, end delays, create better commercial buildings, and reform the industry
