Planning a Construction Project is 20% Using Software & 80% Proper Planning & Scheduling

Creating a good construction project schedule is difficult effort.

But it can be a wasted effort if we don’t start with principles first; the principles of proper CPM scheduling. That’s why I created a course that focuses on the foundations of good scheduling.

This course will take the complexity and confusion out of planning & scheduling projects with professional videos that are clear and concise. And you can watch them as many times as it takes.

I will guide you step-by-step through the process of building a good CPM schedule.

Not only that, I share real-world examples and situations from over 26 years of experience in the field of Project Controls.

Whether you’re confused by all of the jargon of the project controls world, or you just need to fill in your knowledge gaps, I will share everything you need to know about scheduling Construction projects, from definitions to expert techniques and processes.

I believe that anyone can create good CPM schedules and manage them to help drive a successful construction project. It just takes patience, dedication, and the right amount of focused learning, starting with principles first.

Who Is This Course For?

Let’s find out if this course is for you. It’s a perfect fit if….

Student #1: You are a complete beginner to project controls with no idea on how the Critical Path Method or project schedules work.

Student #3: You are a planner & scheduler but need a refresher on project controls, CPM scheduling and Construction project management.

Basically, if you are a master of project controls, if you build complex Construction project schedules and manage them to perfection, then DON’T take the course. Everyone else: you should take the course, today.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means.

     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.
