ICS-SCHEDUCATION

Construction Project Time Management requires the practical application of selected PTM principles, concepts, processes, tools, and personnel to real world construction conditions and needs. ICS‑Scheducation is the business group within ICSGlobal that helps Owners, Contractors, and Consultants learn how to effectively maximize the use of time on construction projects.
