ICS-FACILITATION
Construction Project Time Management requires the practical application of selected Project Time Management principles, concepts, processes, tools, and personnel to real world construction conditions and needs. ICS-Facilitation is the business group within ICS‑Global that helps its clients (Owners, Contractors, Consultants) consistently achieve superior project outcomes.
ICS-Facilitation’s Contribution to Construction Project Time Management
No matter the industry, successful Project Management always boils down to four PM Performance Requirements: Collaboration, Coordination, Cooperation, and Communication. This explains why Project Time Management is central to overall Project Management. Its key work product, the Project Schedule, facilitates all four PM Performance Requirements .
ICS-Facilitation, the flagship business group within ICS-Global that has ultimate oversight responsibility for all client products and services, is staffed by our most qualified and experienced construction project management members. Collectively, they have had hands-on experience on over 225 construction projects worldwide, across 37 distinct project types valued at over $24 billion. Couple their construction experience with their Project Time Management expertise and you are getting the best possible support for your company’s Construction PTM initiatives.
