Project procedures and Project Execution Plan (PEP) are fundamental components of effective project management. By creating project procedures and incorporating key components of step-by-step guides into the Project Execution Plan we help all stakeholders effectively manage construction projects, ensure project compliance with goals and objectives, reduce risks, control costs and achieve successful project results within defined scope, schedule and budget constraints.
- Project procedures: Project procedures in construction include systematic processes and protocols that guide the implementation and management activities of a project from inception to completion. Structured prepared procedures describe the steps, responsibilities, and standards that must be followed to ensure the success of the project. They cover various aspects such as project definition, planning, execution, monitoring and closure. Effective project procedures help streamline project workflows, improve communication among team members, ensure compliance with rules, and facilitate the efficient allocation of resources. By establishing clear project delivery procedures, we help manage construction projects more effectively, resulting in increased productivity and successful project outcomes.
- Project Execution Plan (PEP): Project Execution Plan is a comprehensive document in which we outline a complete and detailed strategy for managing a construction project. We detail how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled to meet the project’s requirements and objectives. In the PEP, we include key elements such as project objectives, deliverables, stakeholder responsibilities, scope of work, work breakdown structure, cost breakdown structure, key performance indicators, risk management plan and communication strategies. The PEP serves as a roadmap for Project Managers, helping them effectively manage all phases of a project. It helps to track progress, identify and mitigate risks, manage change orders, and ensure all planned work is completed on time. By following a clearly defined PEP, construction projects can ensure better cost control, risk management, and overall project delivery success.
Therefore, project procedures and the Project Execution Plan are important tools for managing construction projects. By creating project procedures we establish the framework for project activities, ensuring consistency and adherence to standards, and the Project Execution Plan provides a detailed strategy for managing project execution, monitoring progress and achieving project goals.
The main components of the Project Execution Plan include the main project business processes, but are not limited to:
- Project Organization & Project Parameters
- Environment, Health and Safety Management (EHS)
- Contract Management
- Approvals Management
- Procurement Management
- Planning Management
- Risk Management
- Budget and Cost Management
- Document Management and Project Management Information Systems (PMIS)
- Design Management
- Construction Management
- Quality Management
- Change Management
- Commissioning Management
In creating a Project Execution Plan our business processes are defined to minimize disruption to our Clients’ normal business operations, and each stage of the project is governed by our Client’s service level agreements and measured against key performance indicators. By implementing robust project procedures and following a clearly defined PEP, we effectively plan, execute and complete projects efficiently and successfully.
