Too few capital projects meet their intended timeline, and even fewer deliver the value they promise. Improving the scheduling process offers a solution to this persistent problem, and this e-book offers two techniques. Learn how collaborative practices and AI combine to deliver more accurate schedules. The post 2 Top Tips for Better Construction Scheduling appeared first on InEight.
Rework in capital construction is all too frequent, but improved communication and project information management can go a long way toward preventing it. Learn three document control practices that can help. The post 3 Document Control Practices to Prevent Rework in Capital Construction appeared first on InEight.

I’ve been thinking about something that quietly slows a lot of us down: the infamous side spreadsheet! I get why they exist. They’re comfortable, they’re quick, and sometimes they feel easier than fighting whatever process isn’t fully humming along yet. But every time we create one, we’re basically admitting, “Yep… we’re…
We've been refining our submittals process in InEight Document for a while now as we receive feedback from end users and as InEight continues to deploy enhancements or customization requests. Currently, we're using a combination of the Submittals module and Forms for transmitting submittal packages for external review, but…

So, I have noticed a common theme across many community discussions lately: adoption. For those using project controls and cost management modules, adoption is often the difference between “having the tool” and “getting the value.” Quick poll: What is the biggest adoption challenge your teams face today? A. Duplicate entry…
I'm interested in how most users enter cost items and quantities into InEight for bottoms-up estimating. Here are the main options: Manual entry Copy from a template Excel import Quantity Items from BlueBeam Embedded workbook (Excel or cloud-based) For direct work, we typically use template copying and Excel import. For…
From my perspective as an estimator, I’ve found that accurate cost tracking at the account code level makes a big difference when it comes to benchmarking and future estimates. When the data is captured consistently and with enough detail, it’s easier to move past high‑level project totals and actually understand where…
I'm interested to know what prompted your organization to choose InEight Estimate as its platform. If you weren't part of that selection process, I'd appreciate hearing which feature of InEight Estimate you find most valuable. Personally, I believe the benchmarking function—especially within the Account Code Utilization…
We recently implemented the InEight Document module, while the platform demonstrates strong capabilities compared to other EDMS solutions and one of the main challenges we’ve encountered is the lack of a CC option during an active workflow, as well as the absence of a sub-workflow feature. Additionally, there’s currently…
I am interested in learning how others aggregate quantities at the parent level. Are you utilizing quantity roll up codes, or are you manually creating parent level quantities and employing the quantity check feature? In our case, because we import terminal items, we must manually add the quantity roll up code for each…
We’re really good at tracking cost and schedule KPIs. I don’t think we’re nearly as good at tracking information KPIs, even though poor information flow is often behind drives cost and schedule pain. Document metrics that stand out for me as early warning signals are: RFI's per million dollars and RFI aging log - how long…
