Scheduling Tracking and Record Keeping

In this webinar, the attendees will learn how to manage a project and importantly manage the risks involved. We will explore estimating, bidding, cost tracking, scheduling, and progress tracking from the point of risk so the attendee can appreciate the risk without having to first live it in the field. The attendees will learn how bidding, budgeting, scheduling, and tracking can and should all work together in a comprehensive management process. We will also look at real-life examples where good project management was able to “save” projects heading for a bad ending, as well as cases where bad decisions just made things worse.Areas Covered What is project management What are project controls Key information for good project controlEstablishing proper project management and control procedures Establishing the project planMaintaining the project recordsTracking updating and adjusting the approachAddressing the uncontrollable and managing riskWho Should AttendConstruction Company Executives; Contractors’ Project Management Staff; Construction Managers; Project Owners and Sponsors; Construction Attorneys; Subcontractors; Design Professionals.Why Should You Attend Construction projects are risky undertakings. They are typically bid on tight margins and involve countless unknowns. Therefore, it is fundamentally important that they are properly managed. This management begins before the first shovel is in the ground by having a well thought out plan for both construction execution and for financial aspects of a project. As the project moves forward there must be procedures in place to collect the information necessary to track all aspects of the project, allowing the project manager to know where the project stands at any time, and enabling him to make adjustments to the plan as necessary. In this webinar, we will follow a project from start to finish in order to see what information is important at what time, how to track such information effectively, and most importantly, how to use that information to manage our project to a successful conclusion.
