Planning & scheduling
Critical path built to be used, not filed. Logic that survives contact with the site.
Project controls / Est. 2005
Twenty years of schedules that held.
Planning, cost engineering and risk analysis for infrastructure, energy and mining programmes.

Sectors: infrastructure, energy, mining
One
Baseline for cost, schedule and risk
Early warning
The slip shows on the curve before it shows on site.
Each activity is a few days behind. None of them on its own justifies a phone call. Together they bend the curve, and the bend is the signal — months before anything is visible in the field.
Plan Actual
Cost, schedule and risk on one baseline.
Four disciplines that only work when they run off the same set of numbers.
Cost engineering
Estimate through to forecast, with the trail intact from one to the other.
Risk analysis
Quantified rather than assumed, so contingency has a number behind it.
Delivery assurance
Earned value reporting that shows the slip early enough to act on it.
Where the work happens
Capital programmes where one week of float is worth real money.
Sector notes
All notesThe data centre takes two years. The power to run it takes longer.
Technology moves in two-to-three-year cycles. Generation and grid do not. The gap between those two clocks is where the programme risk now sits.
28 Aug 2026Tonnes down, met price up: every mine plan gets rewritten.
US production is running behind last year while metallurgical benchmarks sit well above it. Divergence like that changes sequencing, strip ratio and cash profile at the same time.
24 Aug 2026Approvals just got faster. Delivery didn’t.
Compressing the permitting front end does not shorten the critical path. It moves the pressure downstream, onto the schedule.
