Rework in Engineering and Construction Projects

The impacts of design and construction rework have been well researched and documented over the years.

Construction Turnover

This Executive Insight focuses on the roles, responsibilities, and general scope of construction turnover.

Out of Sequence Construction

Out of sequence work is both a source of labor inefficiency (low productivity vs. plan) as well as a telltale sign of a troubled project.
