Presentation at APPA's 77th Annual Meeting in Ottawa, Canada. Discusses how to recognize the symptoms of a troubled construction project early enough to avoid failures.  In the event a project has failed, provides pracical insights into how best to get the project back on track and minimize the failure's impact on cost, time, and quality. Among the warning sighns are schedule time overruns, requests for time extensions, work force reductions, disorderly construction sites, change order requests, poor communication, and complaining subcontractors and vendors.  Covers assessing revival alternatives, construction contracts, types of project failure, and implementing the revival plan.
