Project Controls
Schedule and cost monitoring that shows where a project really stands and where it is heading.
What we do
Project controls connects the schedule, the budget and the progress on site into one picture. We set up and run the processes that measure performance, flag variances and forecast where the project will finish.
The result is a monthly rhythm of numbers your team trusts, with the explanations behind them.
What is included
Schedule monitoring
Tracking of progress, float and milestones against the baseline, with variance explained.
Cost monitoring

Cash-flow forecasting
Cost- and schedule-based forecasts of spend and billing over the life of the project.
Progress measurement
Defined, repeatable rules for measuring physical progress by activity and work package.
Performance management
Regular reviews that turn variances into agreed actions and owners.
Change and variance tracking
Logs that connect changes to cost and schedule effects.
Control system setup
Cost codes, WBS, progress rules and reporting cycles set up at the start of a project.

Why it matters
Decisions on current numbers
Consistent measurement means everyone is looking at the same status.
Variances caught sooner
Trends show up in the data before they show up as problems on site.
Forecasts with reasons
Each forecast comes with the assumptions and the drivers behind it.
Less time chasing data
A defined cycle reduces the scramble at the end of each month.
How it works
Set up the system
We agree the WBS, cost codes, progress rules and reporting cycle with your team.
Measure and forecast
Each period we collect data, calculate performance and update forecasts.
Review and act
We walk through the variances and agree actions with the project team.
Delivered remotely: files, calls and screen-share reviews keep the work moving with teams anywhere in the United States, with no site visit needed for this service.
