What is at stake.
Vivarium spaces need long commissioning, environmental stability and certification before any research can move in. Grants have start dates. The construction schedule ended at substantial completion and left the rest to chance.
How we control it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers are doing on this project.
Certification scheduled
Vivarium commissioning, environmental stability testing and certification are scheduled as real work.
Lab moves planned
Each research group's move is tied to its lab's readiness and its grant start date.
Cost forecasting
Monthly estimate at completion reports show the institution its real final cost.
Embedded scheduler
An EvrardBanes scheduler sits with the owner team and runs the updates from inside.
Where it stands.
The grant clock starts whether the lab is ready or not. So we scheduled to the grant, not just to the building.
Lead scheduler, EvrardBanes
