“Utilizing Synchro's 4D software, with its ability to harness the power of BIM, the entire construction team is able to instantly visualize, in virtual reality, the construction project in stunning high definition graphics. More importantly, it offers users a genuinely different approach to project management by synchronizing design, scheduling, supply chain management, risk management and earned value management,” said Tom.

Passion

Over the years, Synchro has made the commitment to serve the construction delivery team and survive the dynamics of everyday life on a construction project by sharing a genuinely innovative approach to project management.

Based on this commitment, the daylong conference provided the opportunity and venue for participants to actively engage in this approach and share their views of the software and the industry dynamics. Throughout 6 case study presentations by 8 speakers, specifically-designed group discussion topics with 4 discussion leaders, all attendees and the entire Synchro team spoke, listened, learned, and discussed real issues affecting the adoption of 4D scheduling and project management and its greater efficiencies on the project delivery processes.

“The conference is a great event not only to know more about Synchro, but to learn, share, and contribute ideas, solutions and best practices with each other,” said Cathy Morgan, Scheduling Manager from Mortenson Construction.
