Fast-tracking (or phased construction/ early contractor involvement) is a generic term used to describe a number of building-delivery methods designed to shorten the overall time between the decision to proceed with a project and its completion. In a fast-tracked project, design and construction activities overlap rather than proceed sequentially, which allows construction to commence before all design or documentation is completed. Compared to the traditional process of designing, documenting, pricing and building, fast-tracking may deliver a project in less overall time.
