OUR SERVICES

PSSL provides multi-disciplinary construction management consulting services for construction and engineering projects around the globe. PSSL services owners, contractors, engineers, architects and government agencies in all industries regardless of size, scope, or complexity from concept through project closeout.

Project controls 

Construction project controls play a critical role in the successful execution and delivery of complex projects. As experts in project controls, our responsibilities begin from the early design stage and run through the successful completion of a project—from establishing the project budget and timeline to accurately monitoring and forecasting progress for both in order to manage risks from the start of the project to the finish.

We offer a unique and proactive-forensic business model. We have developed our project controls approach based on extensive planning and our dispute resolution experience, which gives us a unique and in-depth understanding of what can go wrong on a project. PSSL uses this knowledge to identify potential trouble spots on a project before they develop into problems and to recommend or initiate preventive action through strategic planning and controls.

 

PSSL's project controls experts bring a comprehensive suite of skills and extensive field experience to the job site. After establishing an accurate project budget and schedule, we help project teams determine the key areas of risk by tracking both time and cost compared against contractual expectations, scope, performance criteria, and milestones. By evaluating the productivity of the project through these key elements, we can better forecast the scope of work and key activity to ensure on-time and on-budget completion. These controls can be applied to all phases of a project from pre-construction to closeout.

 

PSSL's experts support clients with a variety of project controls services and specific types of expertise, including the following:

  • Construction Budget Management 
  • Value Engineering 
  • Construction Cost Analysis 
  • Construction Cost Estimating
  • Schedule Analysis and Forecasting

PROJECT MANAGEMENT 

PSSL has developed a construction project management approach based on our origin as a consulting firm. This background gives us a unique and in-depth understanding of what can go wrong on a project. We use this knowledge to identify potential trouble spots before they develop into problems, and to recommend or initiate preventive action through strategic planning and controls. We vigilantly watch over all aspects of a project, from design review and long-lead items through schedule and budget updates and inspection during construction. As Project/Construction Managers or Owner’s Representatives, PSSL has managed all phases of the construction process from pre-design through completion, including cost/budget controls, scheduling, estimating, expediting, contract administration, inspections, and control of contractors and suppliers.

Successful construction project management of complex jobs demands a proactive approach, managed by professionals who have the experience, skills, and technical support each project requires. PSSL's professionals have hands-on experience in managing even the most challenging projects.
