What We Did:
This summary report is one in a series of reports that summarizes key themes and lessons learned from our body of oversight work in several key areas. This report is related to military construction (MILCON). We offer these summaries to provide helpful and timely information relevant to DoW priorities. As the DoW executes increasingly complex and resource‑constrained MILCON programs, applying prior lessons learned helps prevent repeat deficiencies and strengthens the DoW’s ability to deliver mission‑critical facilities effectively and efficiently.
The DoW OIG conducts regular oversight of MILCON projects examining the causes of cost increases, schedule delays, design deficiencies, and safety or quality assurance deficiencies. The DoW OIG reports these findings in a timely manner to enable the DoW to strengthen planning, execution, and oversight of MILCON projects. We are providing this report for information and use; therefore, it does not contain recommendations or require management comments.
