Seminars
- Establishing scheduling as a recognized function by defining expectations, senior leadership buy-in, and measurable value from the start
- Embedding scheduling into project delivery by aligning PMs, site teams, and leadership around consistent processes and ownership
- Communicating scheduling success through internal reporting, feedback loops, and KPIs that help leadership make better decisions
Practical Takeaway: Leave with a roadmap for building or elevating a scheduling function, so it becomes a mainstream part of project delivery, not just a support service
- Scaling BIM enabled planning practices beyond mega projects by adapting coordination workflows for smaller GC teams, tighter budgets, and faster project timelines
- Linking submittals, procurement lead times, BIM coordination milestones, and installation sequencing to make schedule impacts visible earlier
- Improving collaboration between planning, VDC, project management, and field teams so coordination work supports real execution rather than sitting outside the schedule
Practical Takeaway: Leave with practical guidance on how to integrate BIM/VDC coordination into the construction schedule on mid-size projects, helping them connect procurement, submittals, coordination, and installation milestones earlier to reduce field disruption and improve schedule confidence
