Seminars
- Embedding supply chain expertise into preconstruction to influence early design and procurement decisions when they have the greatest impact
- Understanding manufacturer capacity, investment plans, and production constraints to anticipate availability and plan procurement earlier
- Providing manufacturers with earlier commercial visibility to secure production slots, reduce procurement uncertainty, and protect project schedules
Practical Takeaway: Integrate supply chain into preconstruction earlier to shape procurement decisions, anticipate manufacturing constraints, and secure production capacity before availability becomes a project risk
- Assessing how inflation, geopolitical conflict, commodity pricing, and capacity constraints are reshaping construction supply chains to strengthen procurement planning and protect project margins
- Comparing current pressures across equipment, materials, logistics, and labor markets to prioritize the risks most likely to disrupt project delivery
- Sharing contractor responses to recent supply shocks to identify proven mitigation strategies and improve preparedness for continued market volatility
Practical Takeaway: Assess market volatility across materials, equipment, logistics, and labor to prioritize supply chain risks, strengthen mitigation strategies, and protect project margins and delivery timelines
