(Formerly: Project Planning for Success)
The fundamental principle underscored in this workshop is that construction management is a methodically planned process, and the construction execution plan serves as the pinnacle of the construction planning phase. The construction execution plan should clearly outline the sequence of activities necessary for project construction and milestone achievement in easily understandable terms. Once finalized, it serves as a valuable tool for communicating project management and construction methodologies to the project stakeholders. Additionally, it acts as a guiding roadmap for project team members, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the project deliverables and processes.
This workshop outlines a comprehensive planning process encapsulated in a construction execution plan, which spans the pre-construction, construction, and turnover stages of a project. Within this plan, traditional project management functions such as scope and budget development, scheduling, and change management are structured in a format tailored to support construction endeavours. While a well-crafted construction execution plan does not ensure project success, we firmly believe that thorough pre-planning significantly enhances the likelihood of success. Throughout the workshop, we provide examples of tools and processes aimed at establishing the necessary information for project success.
This workshop offers an exclusive resource: a comprehensive manual serving as a reference and companion throughout the sessions. Drawing upon over 40 years of collective experience in the construction industry, this manual is a valuable asset. It provides practical instructions, checklists, and templates, serving as a foundation for implementing new processes and procedures, whether in the office or on the jobsite.
