Project controls tools coupled with data-driven, repeatable methodology equals projects that come in on time and on budget.
We can support you in:
The primary function of project controls is to provide both our client and project managers or engineers with the methods by which overall project execution can be organized, monitored, and delivered in relation to cost and schedule goals. It is the delivery of the right information to the right people at the right time, which results in data-driven decision making.
Our approach is based on methodology structured around Journey’s Quality Management System (QMS) that sets out the processes and procedures from project initiation to close-out. This approach ensures repeatable successes for projects of any size.
This allows us to approach each assignment with the confidence that we can deliver leadership, innovation, and project ownership to our clients.
