Planning & Programme Management
Our construction planning service provides comprehensive and tailored strategies to efficiently manage and coordinate every phase of your project,
ensuring timely delivery and optimal resource utilisation.
Project Controls
Our team provides comprehensive project control services, ensuring that all interrelated projects align with your strategic goals. We monitor progress across multiple projects, identify risks, and implement mitigation strategies, while ensuring resources are allocated effectively to deliver on time and within budget.
Project Planning
Accurate planning is critical to project success. We develop detailed, resource-loaded construction programmes using industry-leading software, outlining key milestones and deliverables. By working closely with all stakeholders, we establish a roadmap that keeps projects on track, adapting swiftly to any changes or unforeseen events.
Scheduling and Sequencing
We ensure that every stage of construction follows a logical sequence, maximising efficiency and minimising downtime. We develop comprehensive schedules that integrate design, procurement, and construction phases, delivering seamless coordination.
Risk Management
Identifying potential risks early is a cornerstone of our approach. Our team conducts thorough risk assessments and continuously monitors project variables to proactively mitigate delays, cost overruns, or quality concerns. By maintaining constant vigilance, we safeguard your project’s timeline which helps protect the financial performance.
Change Management
In any construction project, change is inevitable. We have robust change management processes that ensure any modifications to scope, design, or resources are controlled effectively. By assessing the impact of changes on time, cost, and quality, we keep projects aligned with client expectations.
Performance Monitoring
Real-time monitoring and reporting are critical for project success. We use cutting-edge tools to track progress, identify any deviations from the baseline programme, and implement corrective actions swiftly. Our performance dashboards provide stakeholders with a clear view of project status, enabling proactive management.
Earned Value Analysis (EVA)
We utilise Earned Value Analysis to give clients an integrated perspective on project progress. EVA allows us to measure project performance against both the schedule and the budget, ensuring a comprehensive view of where the project stands and what actions are needed to stay on course.
