The projecting time in the construction industry needs to become more efficient to shorten the amount of time it takes to project a build. One of the North's leading construction company NCC constuction Sweden AB has developed a form of collaboration called ”NCC project studio” that they use in some projects today. My thesis consists in bringing forth the most important aspects of the collaboration form called NCC project studio. The point of this is to use my thesis to help the company develop a quality document that can assist them when starting collaboration based on NCC project studio in the future. The conclusion of my thesis was that much of the focus needs to be on explaining to the participants what NCC is aiming to gain from working with the NCC project studio and also which important parts that needs to be worked on.

Deliver cost-effective and error-free products that meet customers´ demands and needs within the defined time frame, is the project team’s main goal. The modern project management includes tenfold consultants with different expertise that contribute with new knowledge in diverse phases. This type of management requires good communication and information flow between participing consultants. Therefore, NCC has developed a project management method called NCC Projektstudio, which has influences of Lean Construction and Lean Philosophy. The aim of this study is to identify opportunities for improvement that facilitates consultants’ involvement in the early stage of NCC Projektstudio but also throughout the whole project management phase. This thesis consists of an interview study and a background research which clarifies important principles behind NCC Projektstudio. The study indicates that better and more clarity is required as early as possible throughout the project management phase. This should lead to better conditions for the consultants’ involvement in the early stage. / Att leverera kostandeffektiva och felfria produkter som lever upp till kundernas önskemål och behov under den bestämda tidsramen är projekteringsgruppens främsta mål. Då dagens projektering innefattar tiotal konsulter med olika expertis som tillför nya kunskaper i skiftande faser krävs allt bättre kommunikation och informationsöverföring mellan berörda aktörer. Således har NCC tagit fram projekteringsmetodiken NCC Projektstudio (PS) som har influenser av Lean Construction och Lean filosofin. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att identifiera vilka förbättringsmöjligheter leder till underlättning av konsulternas involvering i det tidiga skedet inför PS-projekt men också under hela projekteringsfasen. Arbetet omfattas av en bakgrundstudie som behandlar de viktiga grundprinciper bakom projekteringsmetodiken NCC Projektstudio samt en intervjustudie. En helhetsbedömning av bakgrundstudien och intervjustudien tyder på ett gemensamt önskemål från samtliga parter att det krävs större tydlighet, i så tidigt skede som möjligt. Detta ska leda till bättre förutsättningar för konsulternas involvering i det tidiga projekt skedet.
