Services

PMO and governance

Design, stand up and run the office that gives a programme its decision rights, cadence and single version of the truth.

Typical client: an owner or government entity mobilising a programme, or a PMO that has grown faster than its procedures.

• PMO operating model: project, programme or portfolio level
• Governance framework, decision rights and stage gates
• Procedures, templates and reporting cadence
• PMO maturity assessment and improvement roadmap
• PMO operation for the first months, then handover
• Steering committee and board reporting packs

You receive: a PMO manual your team can run, the templates behind it, and a reporting cycle that works from week one.

Project controls

One controls system that links scope, schedule, cost, change and risk, so a variance in one shows up in all of them.

Typical client: a programme reporting schedule and cost from separate spreadsheets that do not agree.

• Work and cost breakdown structures and coding
• Earned value and performance measurement
• Cost control, commitments and forecast at completion
• Change and variation control
• Controls audits and health checks
• Progress measurement rules and verification

You receive: a controls framework, the registers and reports that run it, and trained staff to keep it current.

Planning and scheduling

Programmes that reflect how the work will actually be built, and that stand up to scrutiny from the client, the engineer or a tribunal.

Typical client: a contractor at tender or award, or an owner who needs an integrated master schedule across packages.

• Tender and award baseline programmes in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project
• Integrated master schedules across design, procurement, construction and handover
• Periodic updates, lookaheads and narratives
• Resource and cost loading, histograms and cash flow
• Recovery and acceleration programmes, what-if scenarios
• Independent schedule review and assurance for owners and PMCs

You receive: native schedule files, submission-ready layouts and a written basis of schedule, not just a Gantt chart.

Outsourced planning and reporting

Your planning department, on a monthly retainer. We act as your planners and report writers for every project you run, without the cost of a full-time team.

Typical client: a design consultant or a small to mid-size contractor with several live projects and no in-house planner, or one planner stretched across too many.

• Baseline schedules for every new contract, prepared to the client's specification
• Revised and recovery schedules when the programme changes
• Weekly and monthly schedule updates from your site data
• Weekly and monthly progress reports, written and formatted for submission
• Lookaheads, delay notifications and schedule narratives
• Attendance at progress meetings on your behalf when needed

You receive: a named planning team, a fixed monthly fee covering an agreed number of projects, and every submission out before its deadline.

Risk management

Risk that feeds the programme and the forecast, instead of sitting in a register nobody opens after the workshop.

Typical client: a programme that needs a defensible contingency, or a board asking how confident the completion date really is.

• Risk workshops and structured registers
• Quantitative schedule and cost risk analysis
• Contingency and float management
• Mitigation tracking tied to the monthly report
• Risk-adjusted completion forecasts
• Risk governance for steering committees

You receive: a live register, a confidence range on dates and cost, and owners for every mitigation.

Delay analysis and claims

Forensic analysis of what delayed the project, who carries it, and what the records show, prepared to the standards tribunals expect.

Typical client: a contractor preparing an extension of time claim, or an owner or engineer assessing one.

• Time impact, windows and as-planned versus as-built analysis
• Extension of time and prolongation claim preparation
• Independent claim assessment and response for owners and engineers
• Claims-ready records and contemporaneous documentation
• Support through negotiation, mediation and dispute resolution
• Early warning and notice management during the project

You receive: an analysis report with the schedule evidence organised, so the argument can be followed and tested.

Digital PMO and reporting

Dashboards, portals and workflow tools that read from the live schedule and cost data, so reporting stops being a monthly retyping exercise.

Typical client: a PMO spending its month assembling reports, or an executive who wants one screen for the whole portfolio.

• Executive dashboards and portfolio visibility portals in Power BI
• Power Apps tools for milestones, change, contract administration and site reporting
• Automated reporting pipelines from P6, cost systems and SharePoint
• Project management information system selection and configuration
• Document control and correspondence tracking
• AI-assisted document review where it saves real time

You receive: tools configured around your process, in your Microsoft 365 tenant, owned by you.
