What was at stake.
The design-builder carried design and construction in one schedule with no clear line between them. Early packages were released before design was stable, and the cost model drifted every month without anyone saying why.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Design packages split
We separated each design package from the work it released, so a late drawing showed up as a late pour weeks ahead.
Cost tied to scope
The budget was broken into cost codes matched to the schedule, giving the owner earned value on a design-build job.
Float watched monthly
Total float on the therapy wing was tracked monthly and reported in plain words, not just numbers.
Early opening tested
When the team saw room to finish early, we tested the compressed plan before anyone promised it.
The result.
We only told the owner it could open early after the schedule proved it. Then it did.
