Architectural Alignments in Construction

In most interior fit-out, builders only need to align major or basic elements – like walls, floors, and ceilings. As the sophistication of their commissions ratchet up, these architectural alignments become more demanding. Builders of high-end and luxury construction are

Resource Loaded CPM Scheduling Strategies

Resource loaded CPM scheduling pertains to developing schedules based on activity durations predicated on production rates and constraints of available personnel or resources. Many project specifications state a requirement for resource loading – and its cousin ‘cost loading,’ yet resource

On the Adoption of AI Construction Scheduling Platforms

Recently, there have been some exciting developments in the field of AI construction scheduling platforms – such as the generative “optioneering” platform offered by Alice Technologies*: the promise of generative AI technology into the world of construction scheduling. The only thing

The Politics of CPM Scheduling

I think of politics in CPM scheduling primarily as an apt euphemism for sleight of hand reporting and representation of what contractors are either incapable of, or unwilling to give, accurate and reliable timeline representations. Thus does politics have no

Construction Disruption Claims & How to Optimize Them

In comparison to delay claims, construction disruption claims are a slippery slope when it comes time to make a claim. That’s because delays have finite start and end dates, where there is no work performed, whereas construction disruption claims occur

MEP Coordination Strategies

It’s been almost 10 years since I published my 4 part series on MEP coordination, and I thought “what better way to commemorate the occasion than with an update.” In that time a lot has changed and a lot has stayed

Scheduling Substructure in Urban Environments

Every out-of-the-ground building has its own unique substructure profile, or site class, that is addressed by a structural engineer. Nowhere are substructure profiles more complex than in urban environments, where building substructures must coordinate with utilities, tunnels, and existing building substructures. And no urban...

Pre Construction Scheduling: Devil in the Details

Pre Construction Scheduling An important but much overlooked component of construction program management is pre construction scheduling. Like the rest of the schedule, this arcane science is for the most part employed only when it is required by the owner. The danger of giving...

CPM Schedule Resequencing: Tweaking or Tinkering

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft a-gley.” -Robert Burns Few construction schedules ever go according to plan. For that reason their baselines should not be presented as immutable perfections of logic, but approximations of the highest likely trajectory. Resequencing...

Project Scheduling and Cost Estimation: Building Industry Deep Fake

The world of project controls – project scheduling and cost estimation, is fraught with misconceptions that are often undetectable to the untrained eye. Even within the industry, an extraordinary level of inexact or fabricated data is presented in lieu of validated timelines and budgets....

CPM Scheduling for Luxury Construction

Luxury construction, or high-end residential construction, presents unique challenges to developers, general contractors, that their schedules and estimates routinely overlook. Some of these lapses translate into grim realities that are later obfuscated by glossy portfolios and website images, many of which are renderings made...

Urban Construction Site Logistics and How to Schedule Them

Construction site logistics follow some basic operational guidelines that can be categorized according to the nature and location of the work. Urban construction site logistics differ from others in that site footprints are smaller, and the work is vertical. As such, the criteria for...

CPM Scheduling Large Format Digital Media Advertising Signage

LED billboards are the ultimate scale-model of digital media advertising. Few projects are as logistically complex as those erected over busy urban thoroughfares, and none are as busy or complex as Times Square, where (pre-COVID) 380,000 pedestrians – mostly tourists – pass through each...
