Project Planning and Scheduling
• A WBS visually organizes project deliverables into different levels based on dependencies. It is essentially your project
plan in a visual form, with your project objective at the top and then dependencies and sub-dependencies below.
• Since a work breakdown structure is displayed visually, it can be created using a combination of workflow management
software and project management frameworks. Some of these methods include timelines, Kanban boards, and
calendars.

Project Planning and Scheduling
Two types of WBS:
• Phase-based work breakdown structure: Here, you use project phases to create work
packages that house groups of tasks. These task groups are then completed in stages.
You’ll want to use a phase-based WBS for longer projects with less defined outcomes. For
example, you want to boost retention by 20% over the next three years.

process that requires careful consideration of all the expenses
related to a construction project.

BIM and Cost Estimation
• A specialized BIM (Building Information Modeling) solution like
Autodesk Revit incorporates computable building information that
allows a computer to comprehend a model as a building.
• For example, a wall "knows" its identity and how it relates to the rest
of the structure. This makes it possible to schedule or quantify the wall
as a building assembly made of actual materials.

Risk Management
• Risk management is a critical component of successful construction project management.
• It involves the systematic identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks that could potentially impact the project’s
scope, schedule, budget, and quality.
• Construction projects, by their very nature, are intricate and riddled with uncertainties, owing to their vast scale, the
involvement of numerous stakeholders, and the dynamic nature of the construction environment.
• Traditional risk management methods, while still valuable, are increasingly being supplemented by innovative
technologies that enhance the ability to manage risks more effectively and efficiently.
• In recent years, technological advancements have revolutionized risk management in the construction industry.
Technologies such as BIM, Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), drones, robotics, Augmented Reality
(AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Blockchain are transforming the risk management landscape.
• These technologies provide real-time data, predictive insights, enhanced visualization, and improved communication,
which collectively contribute to more proactive and robust risk management strategies.
