One thing I’ve noticed after years in EPC projects:

Time & Materials contracts often create two completely different perceptions of reality.

Neither side is necessarily wrong… but the gap in perception is real.

What’s the hardest part of building a turnaround schedule?

• Thousands of short-duration activities
• Craft coordination & congestion
• Sequencing work in tight windows
• Constant field changes

That’s why I wrote Turnaround Scheduling Simplified — https://t.co/CXMiWrLoM4

[Planning Analytics @AdvancedCPM]

When you review an EPC Level 3 CPM schedule for the first time, what do you check first?

• Engineering logic
• Stage-gates
• Activity relationships
• WBS

That’s one reason I wrote EPC Scheduling Simplified, how EPC projects are actually delivered.

Top 3 issues we find in Health Checks are almost always the same: misaligned scope, progress gaps, and logic failures. These silent problems derail schedules long before anyone notices—until the delays and cost impacts show up.

"PLAN the work. WORK the plan."
Most delays and disputes don’t come from bad schedules — they come from undocumented fixes and unapproved changes. Be honest: how many projects are mitigating delays with good intentions but without formal approvals?

I get asked this all the time on EPC projects.

So I recorded this quick clip to explain it simply — the same way I do in my EPC Scheduling book.

If scheduling feels harder than it should be, this will help.

Most EPC schedules fail before construction ever starts.

I break down a real-world EPC scheduling concept that gets overlooked on major projects.
