Precision has provided project control scheduling services for hundreds of construction projects involving some of the US’s largest contractors, subcontractors, owners, investment firms, and government agencies. Moreover, our CPM scheduling professionals are experts in project management and are well-versed in actual in-field construction methods and practices. Our objective is to integrate advanced, cutting-edge technical tools with time-tested in-field construction knowledge and expertise. As a result, we create an effective construction management tool customized to meet the specific needs of each project, including construction project controls. Furthermore, potential problems are identified early, allowing corrective actions to be implemented before they become significant issues.

Construction project controls are essential for effectively managing and executing construction projects. They encompass a set of processes, tools, and techniques designed to monitor, coordinate, and oversee various aspects of a project, including time, cost, quality, and scope. Therefore, Precision assists clients in several key areas, offering expert guidance on construction project controls to ensure project success.
Budget Management:
First, project controls provide a framework for estimating, budgeting, and tracking costs throughout the project lifecycle. Consequently, this approach helps identify variances from the budget early on, enabling timely corrective actions to avoid cost overruns.
Schedule Management:
Next, effective project controls involve creating and maintaining a detailed project schedule. This ensures that all tasks, milestones, and deliverables are clearly defined and monitored, allowing stakeholders to stay on track and meet project deadlines.
Risk Mitigation:
Furthermore, a comprehensive project controls system identifies potential risks and their impacts. By anticipating issues and implementing mitigation strategies, project controls help minimize disruptions and enhance project resilience.
Quality Assurance:
In addition, project controls focus on maintaining quality standards. By implementing consistent monitoring and evaluation practices, stakeholders can ensure that the project meets its quality objectives and complies with industry standards.
Stakeholder Communication:
Moreover, regular reporting and documentation as part of project controls facilitate transparent communication among stakeholders. This clarity fosters better decision-making and collaboration, thereby helping to align expectations and objectives.
Performance Measurement:
Finally, project controls provide key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics that help stakeholders evaluate project performance against defined goals. As a result, this allows for ongoing assessment and strategic adjustments when necessary. Construction project controls are crucial for successful outcomes.
Precision’s Construction experts
Many construction schedulers have moderate to high proficiency with technical applications and project control scheduling software. However, they often lack hands-on construction experience and planning skills. This knowledge gap sets Precision apart from our competitors. Notably, many scheduling consultants at Precision have transitioned from project managers to technical scheduling experts. This unique combination enhances the effectiveness of construction project controls.
In fact, a schedule’s effectiveness directly links to the quality of planning and information behind its development. To put it another way, “garbage in, garbage out.” Therefore, our team focuses on identifying vital information during both planning and scheduling phases. This ensures the project schedule becomes a valuable tool that enhances productivity, rather than a burdensome task at month-end. By consistently adhering to contract specifications and project plans, Precision creates a schedule that aligns with the contract documents and incorporates comprehensive construction project controls.
