INEIGHT PROJECT CONTROLS

BEYOND BASICS: 3 ADVANCED PROJECT CONTROLS PRACTICES

Learn how a shift in your project controls approach can help your organization pull ahead in a competitive environment.

The evidence is in. With only 8.5% of capital construction projects being completed on time and on budget,[1] it’s clear that the current approach to project controls isn’t getting the job done. But what if you could uplevel your project tools and practices to ensure better cost predictability, mitigate risks, and increase overall project performance? Then you could:

• Increase efficiency, productivity, and profits

• Take on more complex and first-of-its-kind projects with confidence

• Gain competitive advantages through innovation

Realizing these benefits requires more than incremental change. This e-book explains why organizations looking to pull ahead in a competitive environment make a fundamental shift in their project controls approach, moving beyond business-as-usual methods to a more integrated approach to project oversight.

UPPING YOUR PROJECT CONTROLS GAME GOES BEYOND SIMPLY ADOPTING NEW TOOLS—IT’S ABOUT FOSTERING A CULTURE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.

Successful project outcomes for complex projects depend on moving beyond standard practices to embrace a more strategic, innovative approach. Organizations achieve the outcomes they need when they evolve the mindset of the entire project team, refine and standardize processes, and focus on advanced analytics and insights through:

  • Process standardization — Establishing consistent workflows to drive efficiency and accountability across all phases of the project.
  • Real-time data insights — Using accurate, up-to-the-minute information to make informed decisions and anticipate potential risks.
  • Productivity optimization — Streamlining operations to enhance resource usage and team performance.

By focusing on these key areas, construction teams can build a solid foundation for success—preventing cost overruns, delivering on time, and setting up their organization for sustainable, predictable project outcomes.
