In today’s evolving landscape of transit infrastructure, the path to successful project delivery is changing, and so is the constructor’s role. Join James Yang, Project Manager at Peter Kiewit Sons, as he highlights how modern contract models like Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) are transforming traditional approaches by emphasizing early collaboration, shared accountability, and proactive risk management.

Through a compelling case study, James will highlight how this cultural shift requires constructors to step in well before shovels hit the ground, offering insights on constructability, sequencing, and cost drivers during design. More than just builders, constructors are now trusted advisors who help navigate stakeholder priorities, anticipate operational roadblocks, and drive innovative solutions that reduce impacts and boost efficiency.
