P6 Project Planning & Scheduling Services.

Delivering construction projects on time through advanced planning expertise

Engineering and construction projects are often complicated. This is due to a variety of factors which include being technically complex, being multi-disciplined in nature, and usually present themselves with high risk and uncertainty.

Therefore, it is essential that robust programme management processes are in place. These processes will help to define, organise, and manage all aspects of a project to ensure it is completed successfully, on time, and within budget.

  • Planning & Scheduling (CPM)

  • Progress Monitoring

  • Risk Management

  • Cost Planning

Our programme management skillset includes:

  • Resource Planning

  • Change Management

  • 'What-If' Scenario Analysis

  • Scope Control 

At GCE we are committed to ensuring that our projects are delivered on time. We do this by drawing on our programme management and planning expertise to develop thorough and detailed project schedules. Our schedules clearly define an accurate timeline of all project scope - this helps us to efficiently manage time and resources, increase accuracy of cost forecasts, and give greater overall confidence of successful project delivery.

Effective project planning sets the foundation for the entire project lifecycle. It provides clarity on what needs to be done, who will do it, when it should be completed, and how the resources will be allocated to meet project requirements. To do this, we rely on the Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling technique to plan and control our projects. This enables us to identify the most crucial activities within the project and helps us to make informed decisions that will ensure that our projects always stay on track.

Change is inevitable during project delivery. Being able to deal with change and its impacts to the project is crucial to its eventual outcome. At GCE, our programme management services help to proactively manage change and ensure our projects remain on course. Our effective change management techniques ensure that there is a reduced risk of cost overruns, minimise delays to the delivery schedule, and help to identify any future potential risks. We use our project schedules to undertake ‘what-if’ scenario analysis to assess the potential impacts of change to the project schedule and use this to determine appropriate mitigation measures where necessary.

We have extensive experience in all project planning software such as Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject, and Microsoft Project. These software’s are utilised as key tools to supplement our programme management services.
