Forecasting for Success with Today’s Best Project Tech

by InEight | Dec 14, 2020

Are our construction projects on track? Is each phase being completed on time? Will we meet budget and profit estimates as scheduled? These are the kinds of questions every project manager has likely asked throughout the entire life cycle of...

The Holistic Benefits of Earned Value Management (EVM) in Construction

Earned value management (EVM) is perhaps the most effective way to approach construction management from a more holistic point of view. In terms of construction, adopting a “holistic” perspective is about seeing the big picture and how everything is working together as an integrated whole. It’s also about the project’s overall health, with accurate […]

Designing Sustainability with Building Information Modeling (BIM)

Sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s an imperative. Traditionally, sustainability centers around protecting the natural environment and its resources. With respect to construction, however, there’s more to it than that. This is because it’s not enough that the structures themselves and their materials be sustainable. The technology and processes involved in building such structures should also […]

The Hidden Reasons Behind Construction Budget Overruns

As many as nine out of ten capital projects experience budget overruns, with the average overrun being between 25-30% of the project’s budgeted costs.[1] There are several reasons why project overruns exist, but if we look at the life cycle of a project, we can identify areas where we’re more likely to run over budget. […]

Getting Real: Upping Your Construction Bidding Game with Transparency

These days, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone willing to invest in anything sight-unseen — whether it’s a vehicle or a home — with no line-by-line breakdown of what their money would be going toward. And yet, transparency has been lacking in the capital project industry, with owners having had little insight into what it actually […]

Technology-Enabled Knowledge Sharing for Capital Projects

Knowledge and human intelligence are often considered the most valuable asset for any organization. As humans, we learn by asking questions to seek knowledge. What’s important is that organizations promote a knowledge sharing culture, to ensure that information is available to those who may need it. Today, especially when project teams are remote and geographically […]

The Growing Importance of Building Commissioning Management

While there may be some debate over when the practice of building commissioning actually started, it’s safe to say it became part of the regular construction workflow in the early 1980s. That’s not so long ago, given construction’s long history. Back then, the commissioning process would gear-up just as the project completion date was nearing […]
