P896 Effective Project Control System for Engineering &

Construction Projects

Presented by

Bassam Samman PMP®, PSP®, EVP®, GPMCEO and Founder of CMCS

OverviewToday, and more than ever, project owners, consultants and contractors are required to adopt best practices when it comes to managing their engineering and construction projects. No organization can afford to have their projects going out of control. Projects that finish late and over budget are results from failure to manage and control those projects.

In an engineering and construction project, the organization that will have the highest exposure to the damages and loses associated with project delays and budget overrun, is the organization with the weakest project controls. Why? Because this organization will be the least capable of the project organizations to support their claims for compensation or to defend themselves against claims raised against them.

So can your organization afford to be the weakest link in the project delivery process? Can your organization afford to be blamed for project delays? Can your organization afford to be blamed for project budget overrun?
