Utilities are investing billions in grid modernization, yet many construction programs still rely on fragmented systems and manual reporting, with no real-time visibility into contractor performance, field progress, and asset data accuracy. The result isn’t just slow closeout — it’s a visibility gap that delays revenue recognition and increases audit and regulatory risk, especially in working with contractors outside the organization. This session explores how modernizing construction oversight transforms closeout from a reactive cleanup process into real-time operational control.

 
Attendees will learn:
  • Where contractor oversight breaks down in the real world. Identify the common gaps between field work, contractor reporting, and back-office systems that create rework, delays, and risk.
  • How delayed and incomplete field data impacts more than closeout. See how manual processes affect revenue timing, audit readiness, and leadership’s confidence in capital spend.
  • What moving to real-time construction visibility looks like. Learn practical steps to improve contractor accountability, accelerate closeout, and strengthen data accuracy from the field to the enterprise.
