NOTABLE PROJECTS:
Intel Manufacturing Support Building- Hillsboro, OR - (2013-Current) (Turner Construction)

Over 12,000 activities were necessary to document design, pre-construction, long lead procurement items, the construction of over 500,000 sf of Fab space and the commissioning of approximately 900 systems and pieces of equipment. With respect to the thought that went into the building of this schedule and the shear amount of logical relationships between activities, this schedule was the most complex OnTrack has ever helped put together.

In over four years on this project Dave has taken over handling all of the day-to-day scheduling requirements for the project including updating, documentation of time impacts, monthly submittals, narratives and budget analysis.
