How can you minimize project risks and delays with engineering tools and software?

I suggest that builders use GenAI tools like chatGPT, Gemini, Calude, etc to check and double check their scoping documents. Here are some things you can ask: - Is there anything missing from this scope? - Are there elements that conflict? - What parts could use more clarity? - If you wanted to make a change order and argue that it should be included in the initial scope - how would you justify it? - On a scale from 1-10, Rank this scope on clarity, robustness, etc. (insert the descriptors that are most important to you here) Pro tip: If you manage a large team, implement a GenAI tool that runs all these checks consistently for all your estimators. ** You can re-use the pompt

Risk Identification and Assessment: Use risk management software to systematically identify, evaluate, and prioritize project hazards. These tools help identify possible dangers, vulnerabilities, and uncertainties that may affect project outcomes. By proactively identifying risks, project teams may devise solutions to manage or remove them before they cause delays or problems. Engineering software tools allow engineers to generate comprehensive simulations and models of project components, systems, and processes. These simulations enable project teams to evaluate alternative situations, identify possible bottlenecks or conflicts, and optimise designs for performance, efficiency, and safety.

Primavera is a great schedule management software and has lots of functions that one can utilize to manage the schedule and resources.

No podemos prometer plazos que no estamos seguros de alcanzar, es importante la colaboración de todos los involucrados y, sobre todo de los equipos que están en campo, pues son ellos quienes conocen a la perfección los procesos que están llevando. Con ayuda de softwares colaborativos podemos llevar un seguimiento en tiempo real del grado de avance en cada tarea y podemos detectar en tiempo cuando algo no va al ritmo esperado y actuar a consecuencia.

Em rela??o a cronograma é muito importante ser realista e pensar em pelo menos dois cenários possíveis e , estar sempre revisando o mesmo. Muitas coisas podem ir mudando durante o processo e isso afetar o contexto como um todo.

Costing tools and methods are becoming more and more robust. Thankfully, Generative AI allows just about anyone to take advantage of complex data analysis that can increase costing accuracy. For example, you can run various different scenarios using AI and come up with an estimate that balances risk and upside.

Even with the enough expertise, we can always get advantage of the technology to improve our decision making, evaluating the options you may not been considered in the risk managment. Using a LLM (Large Lenguage Model) you can save time evaluated the rest of the options you may be overlooking. The optimization of the time comparing all the possible options could be a game changer due to mitigate risks

Nesse ponto na gest?o de riscos acredito que seja muito importante estar em contato com o time do projeto e sempre que possível ir mapeando os possíveis ofensores do cronograma e das entregas, com isso sendo atualizado constantemente será possível ter sempre previsível os ofensores e o impacto que podem causar no projeto.

Thanks to modern GenAI, you can integrate large language models to draft status updates at pre-determined intervals. The more data you feed the model, the more accurate the response will be. A human should always review a draft before sending it to a customer. In my experience, this approach alone can save project managers tens of hours a week.

Tools like, Building Information Modeling (BIM): BIM tools create digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. They allow for better visualization, improved collaboration, and enhanced decision-making, reducing time of the task and risk at the same time and when used alongside with software like Synchro it can provide real time progress of site works, can help in prioritizing the tasks, save time and can be cost effective, eventually reducing the risk of delays and also be cost effective.

All mentioned sections are great but without proper coordination and real-time synchronization and update, risks always remain high. Database engineers, data analysts and data architects are playing essential roles in managing big databases, synchronizing it, and analyzing it in a perspective surpassing the human perception during decision making and delivering multi-crieteria solutions capable to reduce risks at the best possible, while reducing considerably its impact.
