Construction Professionals: Don't be afraid to stop work on a project (provided you have the contractual and factual right). Too many times contractors and subcontractors don't want to make another party upset and end up putting themselves way behind the 8-ball. I've seen contractors work for months and months without getting paid based on verbal promises of payment because they think it will look bad if they stop. In the end, they are effectively financing the project.

380+ Heavy Construction Insiders Follow Me to beat inaccurate estimates, break free from creating estimates from scratch, bid more and bigger projects, protect their margins, build a strong backlog. Let's Connect.
What really controls the schedule in Heavy Construction? Can you pick one construction delay driver? - Procurement - Materials management - Project management - Communication - Scheduling - Change orders - Cashflow - Skilled labor - Acts of nature - Planning - Permitting - Cost swings - Tech - Operational efficiency Heavy construction outsiders would pick some as the most critical drivers of chaos. You know: You've got to juggle it all.... ...cashflow pumping, rain or snow (hopefully just the right amount), skilled and driven people, the right tech, streamlined operations. And so on. That's why heavy construction is done by heavy people. The rare thing about heavy construction is that is driven by a sort of esoteric force set in motion before construction. As one gets closer to erecting steel, casting concrete, etc., there are fewer things one can change. What really controls schedule? I would say pre-construction, the non-material dimension of construction. If you want to have heavy construction on time and budget, is your heavy pre-construction on time and budget?

Perfection? Purification of gyri? You have it! Founder of FIDIC, JCT, VOB, AIA ... Bespoke Contracts Forum 2015 & TEA Group 2018
Main, Managing or Traffic Controls Contractors ? The question is now. Most contractors who get international projects should be treated as they act. It can be said that they are proxies. It means Managing Contractors. As Raine said. They, like the largest local contractors, can also be called Construction Traffic Controllers. As I say.

Who’s going to be your next employee? An estimator? A contracts manager? A quantity surveyor? It’s a common scenario. You are busy putting out fires every day. You need some help. So you look at the organisation chart of a big main contractor. Who do they have? A commercial manager A buyer A health and safety manager. A project manager. But where do we begin? How do we build our own organisation chart? The answer is to focus on goals rather than roles. This is the most effective way to grow as a construction contractor.

I Solve Anxiety and Uncertainty For Construction Business Owners Through Construction Accounting, Improved Cash Flow, WIP Reporting, and Operations Consulting. Official Partner for Construction Subcontractors.
Let me describe to you what it's typically like to be a subcontractor working with a general contractor on schedule. *Attached in contract* Schedule with very general scope items that have 2-3 days to complete each task no matter how unrealistic. "That's just a dummy schedule we had to provide the owner, we'll update that schedule after we go to contract" (HUGE RED FLAG) Day 1 on the job - "The schedule says all submittals will be turned in within 10 days of signing the contract." -Project Engineer first day out of college. Day 5 on the job - "Have you ordered everything that has long lead items yet?" -Junior Project Manager looking at general specifications list that largely doesn't apply to this project. Day 10 on the job - "Why haven't you turned in submittals for XYZ? Will I have them EOD tomorrow?" -Assistant Project Manager that doesn't have experience in asking for realistic timelines. Day 30 on the job - "We're supposed to be starting underground utilities today, you can work around the civil guys doing stormwater right?" -Project Manager who doesn't understand order of operations of project work flow. Day 90 on the job - "We're behind schedule, why aren't you roughing in the walls as the framers put them up?" -Assistant Superintendent who is trying to make a name for themselves. Day 180 on the job - "I thought you ordered the switchgear back on Day 5!? We won't have switchboards for another 90 days? Can't you just pay to expedite them? This is X Client and they order so much stuff!" -Senior Project Manager who was just brought into the fold because the project has turned into a disaster. Day 365 on the job - "Where did we go wrong? The schedule was black and white?" -Client Upper Management questioning if they should use your company again. Reality of scheduling sucks. The best way to achieve realistic scheduling is Pull Planning. Imagine when you get the contract, there isn't a fake detailed schedule to appease the owner. Imagine it's big items with milestone dates but no tasks. A blank slate. Pull Planning would look like this: General Contractor has a meeting day -30 of the project start date with all subcontractors. Ahead of the meeting, a template is sent out with tasks the general contractor would like to track and allows for the subcontractors to add lines and time frames so the experts in that specialty give their priorities and plan to achieve. Line by line, task by task, for as long as it takes, the subcontractors are given the opportunity to work with each other and the GC BEFORE stepping on the jobsite. This approach has 3 positives: 🔥 Subcontractors are accountable to the GC, other subcontractors, and their team for the dates they provide. 🔥 Neither the subcontractor nor the GC have leverage in the contract to send unnecessary Change Orders and Notices. 🔥 Subcontractors and the GC are both at less risk of financial fade on the project. What approaches have you used to effectively schedule a project?
