Project Planning & Controls

Working across three offices, Critical Path offers global support and specialist knowledge for the construction and engineering sectors with a particular focus on efficient and robust planning.

With offices in Manchester, London, and Abu Dhabi, we are regularly called upon to help with project planning including contracts, procurement, time management and budget control.

Whether Critical Path supports from the beginning stages of a project, or is brought on to give in-depth insights and experience as consultants at a later stage, the team can support and advise to ensure smooth project delivery.

One of the most important factors for any project within construction and engineering is efficient planning. Offering front-end planning as well as time and cost analysis to keep projects on track and avoid later disputes, the Critical Path team offers guidance on project management, change management, risk assessment and contractual issues that ensures engineering and construction projects run smoothly and efficiently.

Using our extensive experience in ISO practices and guidance, we can offer our advice and expertise in planning from the offset in an advisory role prior to projects beginning. This allows for clear project delivery, and accounting for dynamic change management and seamless coordination between employer and contractor.

Our Project Planning & Controls Services

As a specialised consultancy, we can provide expertise on end to end projects or at specialist stages depending on the needs of the project. Spanning across public and private sector clients as well as projects based in the UK and UAE, our experienced team can offer a variety of services with a focus on efficient planning to ensure project success.

We have experience in dealing with Dispute Avoidance and offer specialist forensic delay analysis services to allow for resolutions and projects to progress. Planning and programming is also a key element to the Critical Path approach alongside project controls and utilising various project management platforms. The team also employs robust and meticulous risk analysis and assessment for any project, not only to identify areas that could lead to potential dispute but to ensure a project is delivered efficiently, safely and to the specifications required.

For organisations looking to improve their own planning and programme control, the Critical Path team can offer tailored training and workshops covering planning, control and contractual understanding relating to time e.g. FDIC, EEC, JCT, ICE.
