Planning / forecasting / management control

Project Controls Support

Experienced planning and controls capability without reducing the requirement to a manpower-supply position.

The problem

Many projects have planners but still lack reliable forward visibility. Updates become reporting exercises, field production is disconnected from the programme, and senior management receives percentages without a defensible completion forecast.

PMDCS approach

Build or strengthen the control system around construction reality: work fronts, quantities, production rates, resources, access, interfaces, procurement and short-term constraints.

Typical support

  • Baseline / recovery programme review and L3-L4 development
  • Two- to six-week look-ahead planning
  • Progress measurement and schedule updating
  • Resource and productivity integration
  • Critical and near-critical path monitoring
  • Completion forecasting and trend analysis
  • Delay-event integration and management dashboards

Delivery model

Support can be periodic, remote or project-embedded depending on data quality, project stage and the strength of the existing site team. The objective is to strengthen decision capability—not simply add another planner.
