These sectors drive economic growth and community well-being, but they also pose immense project management challenges. Large ICI projects are notoriously complex – in fact, over 91% of major projects go over budget or behind schedu

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) – hollow foam blocks or panels that stack together and fill with concrete – are gaining traction as a high-performance building method. ICF construction is often considered a subset of prefabricated construction, since the form units are manufactured off-site and assembled like building blocks on-site. This approach streamlines construction by combining multiple steps (structure, insulation, air/vapor barrier, etc.) into one system¹. The result
