We are pleased to announce that Adroit’s Amin Terouhid, Ph.D., PMP is among the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) invited speakers for CMAA Focus21!

CMAA Focus21 is a suite of four, virtual events held on April 12 – 15, 2021, that each focus on one of the four stages or roles within the profession:

  • Students
  • early-career professionals
  • professional CMs and CCMs leading teams, projects, or programs; and
  • senior executive leaders.

Dr. Terouhid will present the following session on the loss of productivity quantification methods on April 14, 2021:

Title: Loss of Productivity (LOP) Damage Quantification – A review of Project-Specific

Abstract: In the tiered approach to LOP damage quantification methods of claim analysis, cost-based methods for assessing LOP damage quantification do not typically establish the presence of a causal relationship between causes and lost productivity. However, project-specific methods rely the most on the cause-and-effect analysis and use contemporaneous, project-specific track records of productivity. As such, project-specific methods are considered the most preferred methods. This presentation reviews the project-specific LOP damage quantification methods and discusses the key considerations necessary to use them.

Topic: Performing Project Schedule Constructibility Reviews: What to Look For

Abstract:

An important question that needs to be answered once a project schedule is prepared is how a project team can ensure the schedule is prepared in an appropriate and a reasonable manner. Schedule constructibility reviews are expected to answer such questions. Such reviews aim to build confidence in project schedules by evaluating the schedules and creating a basis for further improvements. This webinar will discuss the main considerations in reviewing construction project schedules and identifies the main areas for review and assessment.

Adroit to Present a CMAA Webinar on February 21, 2019

Please join Adroit’s Amin Terouhid, Ph.D., PE and Maryam Mirhadi, Ph.D., PMP for the following CMAA webinar:

Topic: Adverse effects of schedule deficiencies from the claim administration perspective

Abstract:

Project schedules provide a basis for communication, execution, monitoring and controlling, and reporting and offer a platform for measuring project progress and performance. In addition, courts bank on project schedules to assess time extensions or time-related compensation requests. As such, project time schedules are one of the key inputs without which many construction claims cannot properly be prepared or investigated. Construction contractors should give proper attention to preparing detailed and reasonable project schedules throughout the project to ensure the project schedules remain acceptable and reliable over the course of the project, and they reasonably represent the plans as well as the actual progression of work. In this webinar, some of the main issues with project schedules, especially those that adversely affect claim administration efforts, will be discussed.
