I'm keen to hear who everybody is, and what their goals are I assume you already know who I am. But if you don't I'm Tim. I worked for 8 years for big contractors on road, rail, renewable energy projects. I've always worked for head-contractors. I recently worked for some smaller contractors as a consultant when I left my job doing estimating and contract management. It was good, but I found it hard to see a path to scale (other than just starting a contracting business myself) So I instead decided to build software, and found that that's 100x harder than I thought and a very easy way to lose money

Curious how other CPMs and preconstruction leaders are approaching conceptual estimating strategy. What has proven most effective in establishing reliable cost direction before design fully matures? Interested in hearing what is working in today’s environment.

Hey everybody As a fun experiment and because I thought Microsoft project was too annoying I built a really simple scheduling app. It allows you to do gantt charts, activity dependencies, etc. I will be adding to it and improving it. Its completely free, keen to hear your feebback https://operumscheduling.com/

Joining from northern NJ near NYC.

What scheduling software do you guys all use? I was using microsoft powerpoint but I was personally finding it pretty annoying. Recently I moved to smartsheet and love it. It's intuitive, easy to use, etc. I've never used primavera but heard its a bit of an art form
