Katerra is a technology-driven offsite construction company that is breaking new ground by vertically integrating the construction supply chain and developing new technologies to optimize every aspect of building design, materials supply, and construction. - Steered the design of the company’s main building platform (prefabricated 24-unit garden-style apartment) 30% below market in 3 months using Target Value Design approach (equivalent to ‘Target Costing’) - Managed cross-functional team involving 13 disciplines to design new building platform, budget: 50M - Developed schedule, managed dependences, mitigated risk and delivered on time the building platform unique documentation set (e.g., permit set, factory shop drawings, field work instructions, fastening standards)
- Pioneered the implementation of a company-specific new product development approach for 20+ new prefabricated assemblies - Developed schedules, monitored progress, mitigated risk, and reported weekly progress to the CTO on 8 R&D products (e.g., bath kit). Budget: $4M. Reduced new product development lead time by 20% - Led team to troubleshoot field implementation challenges of 25 new prefabricated assemblies on live construction projects. Provided feedback to engineers using DfX. Resulted in increase of “acceptance percentage” by the construction team of the new prefabricated assemblies from 40% to more than 70% at Pilot stage
• Managed a 35M tenant improvement project for a large tech company in Mountain View. Facilitated planning, using language-action during lookahead planning and daily huddles. Increased subs participation to lookahead planning (from 4 trades when initially involved, to 10). • Project-managed the exterior work (1.2 M), including: leveled quotes for subs selection, wrote and issued subcontracts, updated master schedule, negotiated change orders, managed project documentation. • Represented the company at the (biennial) Construction Research Congress in Louisiana, where I presented 2 research papers.
• Conducted research on project complexity in high-end facility upgrades as part of my PhD research, and helped the construction project team implement Lean Construction principles and methods on a cooling towers replacement project (10M). • Published 3 conference papers: •• Bascoul, A., Tommelein, I., and Tuholski, S. (2018). "Construction project complexity as addressed in traditional vs. Lean project management literature." Construction Research Congress, New Orleans, LA, USA. •• Bascoul, A., Tuholski, S., and Tommelein, I. (2018). "Lean Construction to manage project structural complexity: the LPDS-MDM framework." Construction Research Congress, New Orleans, LA, USA. •• Bascoul, A., Tuholski, S., and Tommelein, I. (2017). "Use of DSM to capture unplanned design iterations on a facility plant upgrade project." 19th International DSM Conference, Espoo, Finland.
• Was the teaching assistant for: - CE167 Engineering and Project Management (~100 students). - CE268A Lean Construction Concepts and Methods (~35 students). • Developed a teaching tool (memo cards) to help students memorize construction terminology and test their knowledge. It is a work in progress and the tool is accessible at: audreybascoul.com/taduties.html .
• Conducted research on UCSF's unique team selection process for IPD-like projects. Summarized findings in a white paper (unpublished). • Published a conference paper: Bascoul, A.M., Tommelein, I.D., Tillmann, P., and Muxen, S. (2018). “Towards Facility Management Participation in Design: A UCSF Case Study.” In: Proc. 26th Annual Conference of the International. Group for Lean Construction, Chennai, India.
• Fulfilled the role of product manager for a web application developed internally at DPR to deliver as-builts in a searchable database (vueops.com). • Conducted research for the San Francisco International Airport for process improvement in as-built search. Summarized results in a technical report. • Conducted internal study at DPR Construction to estimate cost of building turnover process, using discrete-event simulation.
• Worked on the construction of the Facebook West Campus (MPK20) in Menlo Park, CA (430,000 sq. ft. office building). • Reviewed submittals and Request for Information (RFIs), reported project progress. • Created a quality dashboard to correct defects. • Developed a program to automatically color 2D drawings to show subcontractors' daily space use. Used VBA in Excel. Published results in: •• Bascoul, A. and Tommelein, I. (2017). "Visualizing daily on-site space use." In: Proc. Lean and Computing in Construction Congress (LC3), Vol. 3 (IGLC), Heraklion, Greece.
