Huge cost overruns and missed deadlines have long been the accepted norm for construction project operations. But as construction starts to pick up after a long hiatus, construction expert Barry LePatner stresses the importance of putting new rules in place to make construction cost containment the way of the future for the construction industry.
In his State of the Union address, President Obama revealed his “Fix It First” plan for repairing the nation’s crumbling infrastructure. Infrastructure expert and author Barry LePatner explains why he fully supports the president’s plan.
