Modeling the Project Plan

In a world where 98% of large, complex construction projects incur cost overruns and delays, scheduling and planning play an essential role in containing a project. An effective schedule is used as a guide by the entire project team and starts with interactive planning meetings involving all stakeholders. The schedule outlines the plan and is continuously updated to reflect actual progress, incorporating changes along the way. The impact of change orders and unexpected delays are assessed using Time Impact Analysis (TIA). Effective schedule analysis is used to guide decision-making, develop alternative scenarios, anticipate problems, identify risks and recommend solutions.

Schedules can be enhanced with cost and resource data and connected to project blueprints to create a time-progressed virtual construction site with 4D and 5D schedules.
