Version 3.1 of this publication includes three volumes that offer 1) an overview of the Advanced Work Packaging model, 2) in-depth implementation guidance, and 3) case studies and expert interviews collected during the research effort.

Volume I presents a work packaging execution model for the project life cycle-from project definition to system turnover-with an emphasis on field implementation. It reviews the scope and benefits of work packaging, and presents a framework for the work packaging model for project life cycle implementation and field implementation.

Volume II provides detailed AWP implementation guidance, which includes contractual guidance, project integration flowcharts, functional role descriptions, and templates and checklists. Also offers a maturity model, a contractor qualification assessment tool, and an audit tool.

Volume III presents four implementation case studies and three expert interviews on current work packaging implementation practice in a range of constructions sectors. The studies and interviews address market sector, construction duration, workface planning maturity, and the benefits and difficulties of implementation.
