Program Control Services
How We Support Quality Construction
Construction projects come down to time and money, represented by labor, materials and equipment, overlaid on a grid of defined, yet often unpredictable real estate. Program controls help track and measure performance, contain cost and schedules, predict outcomes and communicate status to project stakeholders. It takes years of experience to master the process. But, when you work with us, you can rest assured, you will gain a view of reality on which you can make your best program decisions.

- Identification
- Assessment
- Analysis
- Mitigation
- Allocation
- Tracking and updating
Part of the identification process is the Cost Estimate Review (CER) Workshop.
- This workshop is used to identify all project risks:
- A snapshot for the project for known conditions at that point in time
- Identifiable and quantifiable project-type risks
- Assessments are made as to the severity and probability of these potential risks
- The cost estimate and schedule are validated using these risks, their severity and probability
- A consensus is built among stakeholders that there is at least a 70% chance that the budget for both time and cost are sufficient
- The project contingency estimate is replaced with a risk-based cost
