Planning and Scheduling
- Establishes project parameters
- Improves scheduling efficiency
- Aligns with resources and budget
- Stands alone or part of fully integrated services
Proper planning and scheduling from the beginning of any project is the key to meeting expectations and objectives. Faithful+Gould has developed robust systems to ensure planning is carried out methodically and with due regard to potential constraints, risks and barriers to progress.
We offer a full life-cycle planning and scheduling service for projects or can provide services on a consultancy basis. The principal services we provide include:
- Initial planning – facilitates planning workshops and ‘full wall scheduling’
- Schedule overview services – enables existing schedules to be analyzed and improvements made
- Critical path analysis – performed on a stand alone basis or as part of our claims management service.
- Crystalizes information to suit client's needs
When a full planning and scheduling service is provided on a stand-alone basis, we work with client management teams to ensure full integration into the overall project execution plan. The schedule reflects key commercial and contractual milestones and facilitates schedule risk analysis.
Where Faithful+Gould provides other services, such as construction management or project controls, the planning and scheduling service is automatically integrated.
To provide comprehensive planning and scheduling services, Faithful+Gould utilizes the most modern tools and employs professional consultants who have the skills and experience to apply them. Our approach to schedule management gives our clients the ability to plan from the master program level downward, to analyze look ahead schedules and to review cost and resource forecasting and critical path analysis. This proven approach has been tailored from our vast international experience across a wide variety of sectors.
