Construction Project Planning: Blueprint for Success
December 10, 2024 2:00 PM - December 11, 2024 5:30 PM (NST)
Description
Course Description:
This workshop outlines a comprehensive planning process encapsulated in a construction execution plan, which spans the pre-construction, construction, and turnover stages of a project.Within this plan, traditional project management functions such as scope and budget development, scheduling, and change management are structured in a format tailored to support construction endeavors. While a well-crafted construction execution plan does not ensure project success, we firmly believe that thorough pre-planning significantly enhances the likelihood of success. Throughout the workshop, we provide examples of tools and processes aimed at establishing the necessary information for project success.
This workshop offers an exclusive resource: a comprehensive manual serving as a reference and companion throughout the sessions. Drawing upon over 40 years of collective experience in the construction industry, this manual is a valuable asset. It provides practical instructions, checklists, and templates, serving as a foundation for implementing new processes and procedures, whether in the office or on the job site.
