A Bottom-Up Approach to On-Time, On-Budget Projects

by InEight | Jul 22, 2020

Cost overruns and delayed projects are increasingly unacceptable, as owners demand that estimates, budgets and schedules better align with construction reality. Effectively matching actuals to estimates, schedules and budgets is largely dependent...

Reaping the Benefits of Artificial Intelligence for Project Planning

To understand the possibilities that artificial intelligence (AI) can provide, it helps to understand how it functions, and that means first understanding our own ways of thinking and learning. As humans we think through what is called cognition, which is a fancy word for thought process or the action of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought […]

As project requirements become more complex and buildings become more technologically sophisticated, the planning process itself must adapt, requiring more than conventional, traditional methods can often handle. That’s what makes construction planning software a must-have for your tech toolbox, performing the bulk of the backend […]

What Is CPM in construction?

The critical path method (CPM), also known as critical path scheduling, is ideally suited for this as it is one of the most detail-oriented scheduling techniques. It’s expressed as paths of sequential activities […]

Pre-Planning the Benchmarking Way

The saying goes that if you fail to plan, you’re really planning to fail. This is certainly true in the construction industry. Traditional critical path method project planning has focused on building a schedule and specifying the work required rather than trying to align work required with agreed-upon deliverable dates.
