CAPITAL PROJECT PROCESS
Build to Asset
Turn an investment need into an approved, built, financially recognized, and maintainable operational asset.
B2A LEARNING PATH
Build from process understanding to project delivery
Each level adds capability, execution, configuration, and implementation depth to the same capital investment journey.
What is Build to Asset?
B2A connects investment governance, project delivery, procurement, cost control, Asset Accounting, and operational handover. B2R owns the funding authority that B2A consumes to deliver the investment. Project System is an important enabler, but the process is broader than PS.
