Missing CRA Factors by Importance
Each category within the Construction Readiness Assessment contains a set of factors. Factors are a series of questions answered by the project team such as:
- “Is there a sustainable plan to have Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings to support construction activity?”
- “Does the project team include representative(s) from the procurement team?”
- “Is there a system in place to align construction with commissioning and operations?”
The options to answer are:” Yes”, “No” or “Not Applicable”. If a factor is answered “No” it is considered a Missing Factor.
Each factor within the assessment is weighted based on its importance in contributing to construction readiness.
This report shows the highly weighted (important) factors that are consistently answered “No”, which illustrates the areas of your detailed design/pre-construction process that should be reviewed for improvements.
The Factor Index is a weighted ratio that is scaled from 0 to 10. The ratio is calculated as the number of times a factor is answered 'No' divided by the total number of assessments that include the factor. This ratio is multiplied by the weight of the factor. Finally, this weighted ratio is scaled from 0 to 10 for all factors, where 10 is the factor with the highest weighted ratio.

Clicking on the Factor (hyperlink), on the Y-axis of the “Missing Factors by Importance” bar graph displays view the “Missing Factors Drill Down” which will display all the comments and action items for projects where the selected Factor was answered “No” so that users can see if there are any commonalities that might signify a process or resource gap to be addressed in the project process.
