Five Steps to Planning a Successful Building Project
At InEight, we support customers with large-scale capital projects ranging from highways and utilities to...
InEight has announced enhancements to its planning, scheduling and risk offering to deliver the most intelligent and multi-dimensional planning solution for capital projects.
With increased infrastructure spending widely seen as a path to global economic recovery, the need among capital project owners and contractors for data-backed confidence around project cost and schedule is more important than ever before. Now InEight helps project managers, schedulers, workface planners and estimators remove risk from the bottom line and increase confidence with the most complete risk analytics toolbox on the market today.
“At Project Controls Cubed, we are successfully managing cost and schedule risk for several multi-billion-dollar projects simultaneously. You can’t do that very efficiently without using state-of-the-art software solutions that automatically identify risks and suggest ways to mitigate them,” said Jeff Campbell, director of virtual planning, Project Controls Cubed, a virtual design and construction consultancy. “InEight not only enables us to do that with today’s projects, but tomorrow’s projects as well with built-in artificial intelligence that continually learns from past projects to improve the plans and schedules for future ones.”
InEight Planning, Scheduling & Risk uses artificial intelligence (AI) and data from previous projects to identify threats in current projects and recommend risk mitigation strategies. The solution’s intuitive interface enables a seamless user experience that delivers clear and actionable insights on risk management.
“We’re democratizing access to world-class risk assessment for construction by building the most complete risk analysis and mitigation capabilities on the market and making them easy enough for anyone to use,” said Nathan St John, head of product, scheduling and risk, InEight. “Risks are not static – they move with the ebbs and flows of the project, so getting an accurate picture of total risk exposure across an entire capital project in real time has been something reserved for organizations with big budgets and a dedicated risk expert on staff. With InEight, now you have a complete cloud-based solution that continuously monitors total project risk, finds threats and then takes the extra step of surfacing and prioritizing mitigation options.”
New InEight capabilities for total project risk management include:
As risk analysis matures in the capital projects space, contractors who can use data to prove a higher chance of meeting their proposed budget and schedule – even if at a slightly higher price tag – will see more winning bids and improved performance. This not only boosts owner confidence, but it also helps to improve owner/contractor relationships once the project is underway. With real-time visibility into risk exposures and their impact on project cost and timelines, a collaborative and assured approach to project management helps to protect the bottom line and achieve timely outcomes.
