We use tools like Procore, Microsoft Project, and Autodesk Construction Cloud to guide the early stages of construction planning. These platforms support enterprise-level oversight and real-time data collaboration. Our planning process includes strategic feasibility analysis, development of comprehensive work breakdown structures (WBS), resource and budget allocation, and thorough risk mitigation strategies. We ensure full stakeholder alignment through charrettes and focused planning workshops. Each planning phase is approached with detailed foresight and teamwide involvement to set a strong foundation.

Tusk relies on Bluebeam Revu for handling digital markups, submittal tracking, and RFIs. Our project engineering process involves active coordination between design teams, subcontractors, and field personnel. Regular design coordination meetings and clash resolution sessions ensure design intent aligns with constructability. Our workflows for RFIs, shop drawings, and transmittals are structured for speed and clarity. Procurement strategies are closely integrated with construction sequencing, ensuring materials and systems arrive on time and in the right order.

We utilize Procore and Microsoft Project to develop and manage both baseline and detailed schedules. Critical path methods (CPM), earned value analysis, and resource leveling are all part of our scheduling toolkit. Our team regularly produces two- and six-week look-ahead schedules and updates the master schedule weekly. These are reviewed collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure alignment and adaptation to any field conditions. Our schedules are deeply integrated with field progress tracking tools for real-time status visibility.

Tusk’s preconstruction and estimating teams use Bluebeam Revu for quantity takeoffs and digital markups. We leverage historical cost data and market benchmarks to deliver precise, competitive estimates. Each estimate includes thorough quantity analysis, risk-based contingency planning, and vendor/subcontractor pricing integration. Estimates are tied into our ERP systems for smooth conversion to budget and financial tracking.
