The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of AWP

Jeremy Brunson, Turner

This presentation provides a candid, "boots-on-the-ground" look at the reality of implementing Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) in today’s construction projects. Moving beyond the theoretical benefits, it explores the sharp divide between projects that achieve true predictability and those that fall into the trap of "Workface Planning in disguise."

Lara Crump, McDermott
AWP In the Wild: Scaling AWP Across Industries and Contracts

Juan Velasco, Worley

This session presents Worley’s experience applying Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) across a wide range of industries, project types, and delivery models. It focuses on how AWP performs under real project conditions—different contract structures, contractor capabilities, and data environments—and highlights common challenges such as data quality, vendor information, and cross-functional alignment. Demonstrating that while project contexts vary, the same underlying challenges persist—and AWP remains applicable.

Key takeaways will include practical recommendations to address common failure points and establish the minimum conditions required for successful AWP implementation.

Exclusive Field Level Access and Photo Opportunity
After a packed morning of sessions, all AWP xChange guests will have the opportunity to walk out on the warning track before the game begins.
