Project delivery resources and workflow integration
SCOPE - the key first step to define project objectives, identify the need, inclusions & exclusions, set time, cost and other parameters.
TIME - establish the master programme identifying key tasks, inter-dependencies and allocated time-frames.
COST - identify a budget that is consistent with the project feasibility and makes provision for all known costs and makes suitable provision for potential unspecified costs (including contingency)
QUALITY - specify products and services and the quality parameters that they must meet. Where possible, it is useful to consider precedents and past experience.
HUMAN RESOURCES - establish what client team members, stakeholders, consultants, suppliers and contractors might be required for the project.
COMMUNICATION - establish who needs to communicate with whom, when, how often and how. Establish a register to guide this process.
RISK - identify specific risks associated with the relevant project phases. Consider the Likelihood and the Impact to produce a Level of Risk. Follow predetermined actions based on the risk level.
PROCUREMENT - based on a risk profile, consider options for contracting with consultants and contractors. EOI, Tender and RFP processes are available options to determine the best team members, products and services.
We draw from the above in establishing a Project Plan and management strategy that considers the four (4) phases of the project life-cycle, including:
INITIATION - project scoping, feasibility, risk analysis, programming and project planning.
DEVELOPMENT - stakeholder consultation, design management, procurement, Authority approvals.
IMPLEMENTATION - manage, superintend, represent.
FINALISATION & REVIEW - project completion, review processes to establish lessons learned for future projects.

Environmental, social & corporate governance monitoring
Environmental, social, and governance standards, collectively known as ESG, are becoming a growing focus for construction and engineering firms.
Increasing demands for ESG come from voluntary initiatives like the Contractor’s Commitment, investors’ interest in sustainability, or companies’ own net-zero carbon goals. The SEC also is driving more attention with recently proposed reporting changes and mandates. All of these create challenges and opportunities and make ESG commitments a top concern for executives.
Their attention is warranted. It’s estimated the built environment produces 30 to 40 percent of overall greenhouse gas emissions and accounts for 40 percent of energy use. Collectively, construction consumes 32 percent of the world’s natural resources, making it a critical sector for achieving a more equitable and sustainable future for everyone.
Because projects can be vastly diverse in terms of scope, among the first tasks for any company starting ESG tracking efforts is determining what to track and how to gather that data.
