Ever Changing Construction Processes

Project expectations are harder to meet. Budgets, schedules or evolving designs constantly change.  It's harder to keep workers in the field informed of what is being built and how the projects need to be constructed.  The evolving tools of Lean, BIM and IPD methodologies are now allowing hope that we can keep up with the demand of the “new” delivery of the construction.

Ever Changing Construction Processes
Main Presenter: Jeff Johnston, Project Controls/ Scheduling Manager, Tellepsen Builders 

In construction with all the new technologies that we use to build our projects we struggle more and more with the ability to the get the useful information to the people that need it most.  As the projects expectations on projects  are harder and harder to meet, if it is budgets, or schedule or evolving designs that continue to constantly change it is getting harder to keep the workers in the field informed of what is being built and the overall plan on how the projects need to constructed.  The evolving tools of Lean, BIM and the IPD methodologies are allowing hope that we will be able to keep up with the demand of the “new” delivery of the construction that is upon us.  I will help to bridge the gaps of how all three (3) of these methodologies can be used together to streamline the overall construction process and help to educated the potential pitfalls that can come with using these tools.
