Don’t Just Survive. THRIVE During your Construction Project.

Description: Do you have an upcoming improvement, renovation, or construction project? After this session you will be equipped with tools and strategies to effectively manage and engage in this challenging aspect of facilities management. You will receive an overview of construction administration that can be applied to all types and scales of library improvement projects. Strategies gained for effectively communicating with your construction teams will position you to achieve elevated results and avoid common pitfalls. These methods will pave the way to realizing the goals and outcomes established at the beginning of your project. In addition to gaining strategies for successful project implementation, you will also learn the major milestones in a construction project and how to plan for the unexpected.

Those that have worked on capital improvements before will find innovative ideas for successful project implementation and those that are new to this realm will learn the groundwork for effectively working with contractors and other professionals during the renovation/construction process. Attendees will have the opportunity for a question and answer session, as well as relevant contact information for post-conference follow-up.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

Effectively identify and develop critical milestones and deliverables throughout a project timeline
Clearly articulate specific goals and objectives and avoid commonly occurring pitfalls associated with construction administration
Create practical strategies for successful project implementation within their organizations
Use the tools they have gained to be successful in a cross-discipline setting

Who Should Attend: Any system with an upcoming (or underway) capital improvements project (new construction and/or renovation at any scale) will benefit from the session program.
