Schedule compression is one of the most persistent challenges in construction, often leading to rework, inefficiencies, and strained project delivery. A root cause is the disconnect between field and office scheduling—when different teams operate from separate schedules, alignment is lost and unrealistic expectations take hold.
This session will showcase how leading contractors are addressing this issue through modern planning methods built on a single source of truth for scheduling. By uniting field-level insights with office-driven strategy in one integrated schedule, project teams can better anticipate risks, set achievable timelines, and deliver projects with greater predictability.
Our panel brings together leaders with deep experience across diverse organizations:
- Tom Case, Principal, TCM Services (Former Executive with Granite Construction & Sundt)
- Carl McFarland, President, Big-D Construction
- Ranjeet Gadhoke, Zachry
- Matthew Carter, Director of Planning & Scheduling, Gilbane
Through case studies and moderated discussion, panelists will share practical examples of how unified scheduling has reduced compression, improved communication, and delivered stronger project outcomes.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how siloed schedules create risk, what a modern approach looks like in practice, and the steps contractors can take to implement a single source of truth in their own organizations.
