Planning management and project schedule control in construction are important aspects to ensure the successful control and execution of construction projects. It is a critical process that involves creating the basis for effective management and projects completion.
Here are the key principles of our planning management services:
- Terms of project management: Our understanding of project management terms is vital for effective planning and project control in construction. Terms like Project Manager, stakeholders, project time management software (such as MS Project, Primavera or Spyder), project deliverables, project schedule, scope shift, business case, project charter, kick-off meeting, resource allocation and contingency plan are basic in project management and play an important role in ensuring the success of the project, coordination of stakeholders and effective progress of the project.
- Construction project management tools: Our construction management tools cover the resources, procedures and software used to plan, monitor and control all phases of a capital construction project. This includes estimating, cost and schedule management, risk management, earned value tracking and forecasting. Our Planners and Project Managers play a critical role in comparing key performance indicators to project plans, approving change requests, and recommending corrective actions to ensure project goals are met.
- The role of project management tools: Our project management tools play a key role by comparing project performance to plans, identifying deviations, and implementing corrective actions to achieve project goals. Our Project Planners work closely with Project Managers to monitor progress, suggest improvements, manage costs and minimize scope and schedule variances. Our project control includes setting performance standards, monitoring project progress, managing costs, and implementing risk management strategies to ensure project efficiency and success.
- Planning process: Our construction planning includes a specific process used by Construction Managers to determine how they will effectively manage and complete projects. It includes activities such as defining the scope of work, setting deadlines, allocating resources, establishing communication protocols, and ensuring that projects run smoothly within deadlines, budget constraints, and quality standards. A well-detailed construction schedule is essential to successfully complete the project within budget and schedule constraints.
- Project planning stages: Our planning phases include several key steps for successful management:
- Project initiation: Creating a project initiation document specifying the required resources.
- Creating a project plan: Defining scope, tasks based on project goals and design.
- Developing a resource plan: Determining the resources needed to complete the project.
- Financial planning: Forecasting the cost of resources needed for a project.
- Procurement planning: A description of how resources will be acquired to efficiently complete a project.
In summary, our management includes strategic planning to define project goals, operational planning to detail how goals will be achieved, creating comprehensive project plans covering scope, objectives, resources, finances, procurement strategies and risk management to ensure successfully completing the project within budget and schedule constraints. Thus, with a deep understanding of the key terms of project management and proactively seeing project goals in advance, at EK Innovative Engineering team we use planning tools to monitor, manage and control all aspects of construction projects.
With our key principles we can help our Clients successfully use project controls to compare performance against plans, identifying deviations and ensuring project objectives are achieved through effective monitoring, cost management and risk mitigation strategies. Our project teams plan and manage every aspect of the project life cycle, from architectural concept to site definition, implementation and delivery.
