“During the Western Beltway SR 429 construction (2004 to 2006), Hany ElBanna provided monthly CPM schedule updates and 2-week look-ahead updates at each of the Weekly Construction Meetings for each project. The roadway project included over 5 miles of limited access tollway with interchanges at US 192, Sinclair Road, and at I-4. The toll plaza project included a mainline plaza, twin gantries, and 6 ramp plazas with staggered openings corresponding to the roadway and ramp opening schedule of the Turnpike. Mr. ElBanna’s presentations were professional with detailed descriptions and presented in a format that was easy to understand and relate back to the current updated CPM schedule. The combined projects had approximately 20 plan revisions which were coordinated and integrated into the construction schedule and still achieved an opening to I-4 one week earlier than originally contracted. The Engineer’s staff was very pleased with the cooperative attitude and professional performance of Mr. ElBanna on the Western Beltway projects.”

"I
worked with Hany on scheduling a $450M Design-Build under the time
constraints of a bid proposal. His ability to utilize the tools
available in Primavera to: filter, rearrange and code the
activities, allowed us to quickly find ways to tighten our belt and
confidently submit our contract days with minimal
contingency. "

“Catalyst
Contractors provided timely and pleasant customer service and insight
as they prepared a construction schedule for a complex commercial and
residential mixed-use project that we were embarking on. With
very little direction, and very little regional knowledge of the
project location, Catalyst Contractors created a detailed project
specific budget that ensured we met our project deadlines and kept
the project on track.”

“Hany ElBanna with Catalyst Contractors carried out the training for 7 JMB employees on Primavera Project Planner over a two day course. This training was very beneficial to our employees; it covered all aspects of developing construction schedules from start to finish including monthly updates, time impact analysis, cost and resource loading and more. The training incorporated task work shops which allowed all students to get hands on training in Primavera Project Planner. Based on the training received here at JMB Construction I would highly recommend the training program to any company.”

“Companies
are never better than the people that drive them. As Catalyst’s
president, Hany ElBanna personally sets the tone, character, and
quality standards by which his organization as a whole operates.
I personally know Hany to be an exceptionally-qualified Scheduling
Practitioner, as evidenced by his achievement of “IQ Consultant”
status. Globally, less than 3% of all individual applicants
achieve “ICS-Qualified (IQ) Consultant” status. This ranking is a
testament to his knowledge, skill, and experience as a construction
Scheduling Practitioner. We wish Hany and Catalyst much good fortune in
the years ahead.”
