Pre-Con in a Pressure Cooker: How Teams are Tackling Today's Planning Challenges

Program Description:
Pre-construction is no longer just about estimates and schedules—it's about navigating a constantly shifting landscape. From sudden cost escalations and supply chain hiccups to the lingering effects of tariffs and new policy shifts, pre-construction teams are expected to predict the unpredictable.

In this session, we’ll hear how industry leaders are responding to the latest disruptions and pressures—both global and local. Topics will include:

• Adapting to unexpected cost changes and supply delays
• Building flexible budgets and contingencies that hold up
• How teams are collaborating earlier and more effectively
• Ways Owners and Contractors are approaching risk differently in today’s climate
• Real-world examples of what’s working—and what’s not—in Houston projects

This is a must-attend for anyone involved in planning, estimating, procurement, or project delivery. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and walk away with new tools and ideas to strengthen your pre-construction process.

• KYLE HOLLAND, President, AGC Houston
