Event Chain Methodology for construction projects

Post by Jason » Wed Nov 09, 2005 10:55 pm

I'm construction project manager with 25 years experience. I read your article related to Event Chain Methodology on PMBoulevard and found it very interesting. I think that using events and event chains as a representation of uncertainties will work much better than just defining regular three point estimates for duration and cost of the activity. Is somebody using this approach in the construction industry?

We have a number of clients who is using our Event Chain Methodology for construction projects. We have a residential construction project as one of the samples. You can visit our case study at http://www.intaver.com:/index-sol-ind.html.

Event Chain Methodology works well for construction project of different size. Some our clients are using this approach for determining cost of future projects.
