A word from the training platform creator

Doina Dobre, P.Eng., GSC

Planning is an essential step in any project, yet it is often overlooked due to the fast pace of construction or the absence of proper procedures. Worse still, some projects lack an assessment of performance upon completion, resulting in missed opportunities for improvement. By implementing planning and control practices and measuring their benefits upon completion, construction professionals can achieve better project delivery and see a positive impact on their business.
