Ms. Coleman will begin this session with a brief presentation on the purpose of the PFT or Construction Checklists, how they can benefit the contractor and provider, how they should be used (the PFT process), and sample documents. This will be followed by an in-depth discussion of the topic from various angles, including:
1. The Contractor’s Opinion: Are CxA provided PFTs of any use? Are they viewed as just more paperwork? Do they aid in keeping a project on schedule? Is there a better way to format them?
2. The Owner’s Opinion: Are the PFTs cost affective? Do you see them as a benefit? Are you willing to pay the CxA to more closely monitor their use in the field?
3. Provider’s Opinion: Are you successful in getting real PFTs with meaningful information? Do you find that even though the PFTs are meticulously filled out they are not a good representation of field conditions?
Ultimately, this roudn table will try to determine: 1) Are PFTs worth it? and 2) If so, how can the process and documentation be improved?
