Leveling Up Construction Performance With AWP

by InEight | Jun 14, 2023

Change doesn’t come easily to any industry so heavily invested in "the way things have always been done." One area where this can manifest in the construction industry is in project completion rates. Historically, projects delivered on-time and...

How AWP and BIM Can Provide Profit Stability in an Unstable World

The effects of worldwide supply chain challenges on the construction industry have intensified since early 2020. Widely compared to playing whack-a-mole, the analogy would be amusing were it not so accurate a description. There’s been the pandemic that halted production in many areas as COVID-19 temporarily shut down manufacturing facilities. Subsequently, there were shortages of […]

How Risk Reduction and AWP can Work in Tandem

Risk identification, mitigation and management are cornerstones for any project manager to increase project certainty. Risk management is intended to minimize threats, maximize opportunities, improve predictability and add value for all project stakeholders. Advance Work Packaging (AWP) is a rapidly emerging project execution methodology that enhances project planning. AWP is a completion-to-start project planning and […]

How AWP Improves Schedule Performance (SPI) and Cost Performance (CPI)

Capital projects start with an expectation of on-time and on-budget delivery. In many cases, though, this isn’t how it pans out. As reported by owners and contractors in InEight’s Global Capital Projects Outlook survey for 2021, an average of 51% of projects are completed behind the original schedule while an average of 48% are over […]

AWP and BIM: Driving Smarter Construction Decisions

Smarter processes combined with smarter models enables smarter decisions. And that leads to better, more efficient project outcomes. As intelligence-based processes, advanced work packaging (AWP) and building information modeling (BIM) are each considered an industry best practice in terms of how they improve project planning and execution. But when used together, they can deliver even […]

4 Things to Know about AWP’s Path of Construction

Advanced work packaging (AWP) is designed to improve construction efficiency and is particularly well-suited for capital projects that often have complex deliverables and timelines. It breaks down a project’s entire scope of work into smaller increments (the work packages) and plots them along a beginning-to-end project timeline. These are outlined in a Path of Construction […]

Understanding Advanced Work Packaging

Capital projects have been around for hundreds of years, expanding in size, expense and complexity over time. They also have a well-documented reputation for exceeding budgets and timelines, putting the focus on productivity issues as a culprit. In the last 20 years, however, a different approach to project planning — it can boost productivity (time […]
