CONTROL BENTLEY ® LICENSING OVERAGES.
Increasing visibility of jobsite activities By Tyler Riddell, eSUB Construction Software Whether working on a federal or municipal project or contracting in the private sector, the role of a civil engineering project manager is to ensure that work is completed on time in a way that’s profitable for the company. In private contracting, lawsuits can result when the client incurs losses because of delayed works, and in the public sector, liquidated damages are often written into the contract itself, preventing the civil engineering firm from disputing those losses. There’s clearly a lot on the line when it comes to being on time (and on budget), so what can engineers and project managers do to ensure that their plans are executed seamlessly?

Project Profitability: Project managers and specialized consultants By Howard Birnberg, Association for Project Managers A wide range of specialists has appeared on the construction scene in recent decades. Most are hired by clients to aid in cost control or provide management skills lacking in the owner’s organization. How successful these specialists are is a subject of some debate. At the core of this debate is a turf dispute on the part of other traditional industry consultants such as architects. These traditional consultants would like to preserve their role in the construction process, carve out new niches for themselves, and prevent new competitors from achieving a foothold. This issue would be of little consequence if traditional providers were meeting clients’ needs. Unfortunately, many are not. There are several reasons why traditionalists have failed to meet clients’ real needs.
