Today, aims are set high for the construction industry on several fronts. Adopting a better risk management practice ranks consistently high on the list of focal points. Whether your organization has experience with Quantitative Risk Assessments...

Creating Construction Project Certainty in an Uncertain World

The ever-evolving situation involving COVID-19 cases across the world is causing uncertainty in our work and private lives, forcing us all into what has been termed the “new normal.” During such unprecedented times, the impacts, particularly concerning project risk, of COVID-19 are also rippling across construction sites and organizations’ project portfolios.

Of course, there are some additional layers […]

And that measure of […]

Leveraging the Power of AI in Construction Scheduling Software

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for a while in the construction industry. Once a somewhat misunderstood concept, there’s now growing acceptance and appreciation for its capabilities. Rather than replacing human intelligence, AI is intended to work in tandem with it. This human intelligence — the expertise and experience of your project team members — […]
