Case Study: Getting Campus Planning Right to Avoid Infrastructure-Driven Scope Creep at Scale

• Testing campus layouts against real-world constraints by validating permitting, power, utilities, easements and access requirements before designs are finalized
• Mapping utility, transmission and MV distribution pathways early to prevent rework across roads, parcels and stakeholders
• Aligning substation and generation strategies with constrained grid capacity and longer interconnection timelines
• Establishing cross-disciplinary communication models early to create governance around interfaces rather than disciplines
• Treating Early Works as a risk mitigation strategy by using enabling works to remove schedule uncertainty, rather than simply preparing the site
