We take pride in offering a suite of project controls and reporting capabilities that cater to a broad spectrum of projects, from small fixed-price design-build endeavours to large cost-reimbursable Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) undertakings. Our commitment to delivering project controls and reporting solutions that align with our client’s unique needs and project requirements is at the core of what we do.  

Early Engagement  

The cornerstone of our approach lies in early engagement with our clients, ensuring that we are aligned on project goals and needs from the outset. By focusing on the pulse of the project’s intricacies, we can provide valuable input into the project’s scope, optimizing both cost and schedule considerations. This early collaboration empowers us to structure the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in a way that not only fulfills our client’s needs but also aligns with the unique requirements of FWS.

Customized Reporting

Our approach to reporting is customized to fit the client, project and contract. While the specifics may vary, our reporting typically includes three main components:  

Weekly Reporting

Our weekly reports focus on providing insights into recent and upcoming project activities. These reports cover a wide range of aspects, including Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) statistics and incidents, regulatory and permitting issues, work completed in the previous week, upcoming Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) work plans, quantitative progress measures, matters requiring attention and visual documentation such as photos.

Monthly Reporting

Monthly reports offer an overview of the project’s status and overall health. These reports include an overall project status summary, HSE performance indicators, schedule status summaries, cost status summaries, details on contract status and change orders, regulatory and permitting status updates, progress tracking summaries with detailed information, summaries of work completed, and visual elements such as photos and drone videos to provide a holistic view of project progress.

Dashboards

Our dashboards condense complex project information into easily digestible graphics, charts and summaries. By presenting key performance indicators, milestones and critical data at a glance, dashboards empower project stakeholders with the information they need to drive projects forward efficiently and effectively. Whether it’s tracking progress, monitoring costs or assessing the health of a project, dashboards are invaluable tools for achieving project success.

With our expert project management team and tailored reporting capabilities, we are dedicated to delivering successful outcomes for a wide range of projects. We don’t just manage projects; we customize the experience for you. Contact us today to explore possibilities and see how we can help your project thrive.
