Title & Abstract
Project Controls: Driving Productivity Gains by Connecting Scope, Cost and Schedule
It’s no secret there are many challenges to successfully deliver increasingly complex construction projects. These might include keeping up with the demands for services within a shrinking labor market. Or perhaps it’s dealing with project delivery and contract models becoming more collaborative, demanding more information to be accessed by more people. Another challenge may be that your team is ready to work, but they don’t know exactly what to do, and risks that weren’t baked into the timeline early on are likely to result in rework. Tied into all of these is the fact that project owners continue to demand more risk-invested plans. All these factors conspire against hitting a project’s cost and schedule expectations.
What can be done to remedy these challenges?
Join InEight’s Chief Product Officer, Brad Barth, as he explores how owners, contractors and engineer/CMs are achieving unprecedented levels of visibility, control and collaboration through an integrated controls platform, and learn how to deliver better project outcomes more often.
Join this session to discover:
- How industry trends are driving the need for more collaborative project controls software
- How consolidating dozens of disconnected systems can lead to more effective project control and execution
- Why it’s important to create risk-adjusted plans to mitigate rework
- How historical project data can turn into a knowledge library so new project team members can become productive faster
