Planning Your Strongest Project Closeout Strategy

In construction, project closeout is somewhat of a paradox. While it’s anticipated because it means the completion of a project is approaching and final payments are released, the process itself doesn’t always go smoothly, which can be the source of aggravating delays and unnecessary headaches.

Looking back, many of the ideas I discussed with colleagues while at IBM are now serving as the bedrock […]

How many times have you submitted an RFI only to feel like it’s gone MIA? It’s probably a lot more common than any of us would care to admit. Having no semblance of control over the RFI once it’s been sent on its way can surface all sorts of questions: Where is it in the […]
