In the competitive and fast paced environments that Contractors work in, it would be erroneous to refer to the creation of a job file as “planning”. Planning assumes some collaborative effort and discussion has occurred, not just mere action of handing materials over to another group within the firm.
In this informative webinar, Gregg Schoppman, Consultant with FMI Consulting and Tim Gray with Viewpoint Construction Software will discuss the best practices that all Contractors need to follow in the construction planning process and how properly executed planning, along with the right tools to manage your projects, will give you a major competitive edge.
Topics include:
- Context in relation to the 4 “Cs” (Climate, Customers, Competitors, Company)
- Level of planning sessions between estimating and operations
- The impact of change orders in the planning process
- How does behavioral change management impact construction planning?
- What does a normal pre-construction process look like?
- What steps are in a best in class pre-construction process?
- What types of tools are contractors leveraging to execute the plans and pre-construction process?
