Construction Tech Conference 2025 – From Firefights to Foresight: Using Schedule Data to Mitigate Risk

Construction projects generate massive amounts of schedule data—most of which has gone unused until it’s too late to make a difference. Advances in automation are changing that by helping teams spot patterns, risks, and gaps early enough to respond. This panel, sponsored by SmartPM, explored how automated schedule analysis supports better decisions in the field and office, moving teams from reactive firefighting to proactive control that protects both timelines and margins. Moderated by GS Futures’ Aaron Toppston, SmartPM CEO Michael Pink was joined by representatives from user company Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, providing real-world examples and data of the impact of scheduling data management in action.

Join us in July for more discussions and exploration of risk management in AEC at the 2026 Construction Tech Conference!
