(Formerly: Project Planning for Success):
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.
