What was at stake.
The school had admitted its class and scheduled an accreditation site visit before the building was topped out. Simulation equipment, AV systems and furniture came from separate vendors on separate contracts. None of those dates lived in the construction schedule.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Owner work in P6
We loaded owner-furnished equipment, AV, IT and furniture into the integrated schedule beside the contractor's work.
Room readiness
Each simulation suite had its own readiness milestone, tied to the walkthrough plan for the accreditation visit.
Early warnings
Biweekly updates flagged two vendor slips months ahead, with resequencing options priced before they became delays.
Move-in plan
Faculty move, IT cutover and training were scheduled as real work ending on orientation day.
The result.
Students do not care which contract was late. One schedule meant one owner of every date.
