Overview:

Many of the problems that arise during construction are just symptoms of the original problems related to poor planning. If a project is planned in detail with the right stakeholders, it will survive most challenges with minor revisions or actions. Failure to plan or mistakes made in planning result in delays, inefficiencies, disruption, and increase the management needed during construction.

In this paper, the authors will describe the top ten mistakes usually made in planning a complex construction project. The paper will explain why each of these ten mistakes leads to later failures and how to perform this aspect of planning in a more efficient and successful way to ensure a better project plan. The authors have a long history of planning projects that have resulted in projects with collaborative project teams, a viable project plan, and on-time project delivery.
