3 Ways to Win at Construction Budget Accuracy

by InEight | Mar 21, 2023

Capital projects don't come with blank checks. Hence, the need for budgets. And yet, too many projects — even the most successful ones — wind up becoming money pits. Contractors and owners often watch as their projects' budgets gradually creep, and...

Why It’s Important to Manage Construction Risk

When it comes to construction risk management, “winging it” is obviously not an option. Consider the kinds of things you may have already encountered that carried some degree of risk or negative impact: Inclement or dangerous weather. Construction site hazards. On-the-job injuries. Sudden changes in materials costs or availability. Site theft. Frequent or extensive change […]

How to Reduce Top Construction Risks

Every construction project has its inherent risks, both big and small, from the front office to the job site. It’s the nature of the industry, really. Regardless, one thing is certain: Risk can derail a project by throwing off critical timing and/or inflating costs — especially when neither is unaccounted for during the planning stages. […]

It’s freed up project planners from dealing with the very time-intensive stuff that they would normally have to sift through — such as a paper trail or a traditional data base. It’s allowed them to focus more on […]

Encouraging Initiatives and Opportunities for Women in Construction

Why aren’t there more women in construction? It’s a simple question with complex answers. Societal influences and gender biases can start as early as preschool. For example, several studies have noted that when children were asked to draw a mathematician or scientist, boys almost universally drew men, while girls were twice as likely to draw […]
