SUMMARY:Microsoft Project for Construction ( 4 Part series) Cost Control
DESCRIPTION:Delivered in a 4 part series\n\n\nPlease join ESCTT for a practical\, hands‑on course on using Microsoft Project. \nEvery project manager deals with scope creep\, schedule pressure\, and the need to control costs. Microsoft Project is one of the most effective tools for managing schedules\, tracking deadlines\, and reducing cost overruns. It also serves as a clear communication tool\, giving project managers a roadmap for executing their projects. \nThis instructor‑led webinar is designed for busy project managers who juggle many tasks while staying on budget\, meeting deadlines\, and keeping stakeholders informed. The webinar is delivered in four 3‑hour sessions and provides a solid\, practical understanding of how Microsoft Project can be used in real‑world project management. \nWhat you will learn: \nPart 1 (June 2) – Scheduling: Build and update project schedules using WBS\, key dates\, and dependencies\, and understand how changes affect the critical path and overall timeline. \nPart 2 (June 4) – Resources: Assign trades\, subcontractors\, people\, and equipment\, track availability and costs\, manage overtime\, and fix over‑allocation issues. \nPart 3 (June 9) – Trade Tracking: Track Day‑to‑day progress\, record delays and actual work\, create short‑term look‑ahead schedules\, and see how changes affect time and cost. \n Part 4 (June 11) – Cost Control: Monitor budgets\, costs\, cash flow\, and profit margins\, generate regular cost reports\, and understand how schedule or work changes impact project costs. \n  \n\n \nMS Project for Construction Flyer for Website\n\n\n\n\nMicrosoft Project for Construction - ( 4 Part Series )\nMicrosoft Project for Construction - ( 4 Part Series )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Company Name\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Attendee\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Email\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Attendee\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n	Email\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n    Attendee\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n	Email\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Captcha\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	\nSubmit\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.
