Featuring Bruce Stephan - March 30, 2016

Overview

his case study shares how a major transit agency approached how to plan acceleration on an extremely complex $1 Billion+ design-build contract that had consumed the entire time contingency early on in construction with 3 years’ worth of work still remaining. It explains the unique approach they took to better analyze, understand, and plan to mitigate known delays and future risks on the contract.
