Making Sense of the Schedule Quality Guidelines

In today’s complex construction environment, understanding the global landscape of quality and project controls standards is critical. Organizations across the world—government agencies, private owners, and international contractors—rely on these frameworks to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required specifications. This presentation will explore the major quality guidelines, from prescriptive government standards like GAO and DCMA to international best practices such as AACE, ISO, and CII, highlighting their purpose, differences, and relevance to modern project execution. By understanding these standards, project teams can better align processes, improve schedule and cost performance, and provide defensible, auditable evidence of project outcomes
