Industries
Planning and controls support for infrastructure, aviation, healthcare and building projects across the United States.
Familiar with owner and agency specifications
Our lead is familiar with the specifications and requirements of public and private agencies and owners across the USA, particularly in aviation, heavy civil and transportation work, gained through prior professional experience.
Aviation, heavy civil and transportation projects carry strict specification requirements for how schedules are built, updated and reported. We bring that discipline to every engagement, working in line with AACE International recommended practices and PMI guidance and to the contract and specification set by each owner.

- Familiarity with a range of owner contract types, specifications and special provisions, public and private
- Specification-driven schedule submittals, updates and narratives
- Detailed progress reporting and documentation requirements
- Defined milestones, contract times and time-extension procedures
