... that early contractor involvement could lead to 10% time savings on civil engineering projects? "Russel et al (1992) showed that a structured constructability program could generate 10.2% savings in project time and 7.2% savings to cost. Other researchers have reported similar savings to the project due to early contractor involvement" from: Bontempi, Franco (2003).

Dumelow: New and long enough, within policy, Earwig finds no copyvios, QPQ done. The hooks have some minor issues. For ALT0, "could lead to" is vague, and there should be an attribution ("according to ...") since it's a prediction. ALT1 isn't particularly interesting, and I think it also applies to design–build contracts. ALT2 generally checks out and I could approve it, but maybe it would be nice to try to make a version with a bit more context about the Latham Report, since it's not going to be familiar to most readers.

Antony-22. How about this variation of ALT2 -
