Course Overview

Step into the future of Construction project management—right here in Los Angeles. This 2-day, high-impact workshop unlocks the full potential of Microsoft Project Professional, taking you far beyond basic scheduling. You’ll work hands-on with real Los Angeles construction scenarios—everything from ambitious transit expansions to high-rise mixed-use developments—learning how to build, track and deliver projects with precision and speed.

Along the way, we’ll pull back the curtain on the latest game-changing tools: BIM-driven scheduling, AI-powered resource optimization and computer-vision progress tracking—each adapted for L.A.’s fast-changing market, strict regulations and bold sustainability initiatives. By the end, you won’t just know how to use MS Project—you’ll know how to use it to lead.

Key Takeaways

By the end of the training, you will be able to:

Build logically sequenced, resource-loaded construction schedules using MS Project.
Implement BIM and computer vision tools for spatial scheduling and automated progress tracking.
Optimize resource usage and control costs using shared resource pools and custom field reporting.
Develop interactive Gantt and network views tailored to local construction requirements.
Generate meaningful dashboards and reports for stakeholders, including LA city agencies.
Apply advanced scheduling techniques like levelling, crashing and fast-tracking in alignment with L.A. permitting and inspection workflows.
