CRITICAL PATH METHOD SCHEDULING AND ACTIVE SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT
A schedule isn’t real until it is done by professionals who have the industry know-how and the right CPM software to sequence the logic. We make quantity and resource-based schedules that are presentable to stakeholders, and readable to managers. A schedule isn’t worth the paper that it is written on if the team management skills aren’t there to actively manage it; monitor resources, deliverables, milestones, and risk, and make necessary decisions with stakeholders to maintain the critical path. Grey Cardinal engages in Achievement Schedule Management with the project schedule’s resources from start to finish to protect the client’s schedule and business operations.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
We bring our expertise and the right players to the table to advise if your ideas meet your business needs and budget limitations. Grey Cardinal and its industry and business partners will be the key ingredient informing your decision-making process.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS AND TENDER DOCUMENT REVIEW
“You don’t know what you don’t know” or ”an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Both of these statements are sound reasons for doing a Constructability Review of your project documents before procurement. A Constructability Review identifies obstacles before a project is actually built to reduce or prevent errors, delays, and unexpected costs. Similarly, Tender Document reviews are performed from a builder’s perspective; if the design documents are difficult to understand and interpret, the project may be more difficult to build, and bidders may include contingency costs that are not necessary. Grey Cardinal makes it our business to minimize your risk.
BUILDABILITY AND PROJECT PLANNING
Buildability assesses designs to critically analyze that the desired quality and program requirements are met while achieving the desired value for dollar that all budget conscious owners require. Integral to this process is the recognition that no two sites are identical and what may be practical and cost-efficient in one location may be impractical and cost prohibitive in another. Grey Cardinal’s experienced builders are uniquely qualified to deliver this service.
PROJECT AND SCHEDULE AUDITS
Have you dug yourself a hole, both literally and figuratively, and don’t know where to turn to find out where your actual costs and schedule will be when your project is finished? By performing part forensic audit and part forecasting of costs and schedule we will deliver an objective and experienced third-party report that will give you the straight facts on what to expect to project completion and advice on how to mitigate outcomes that are detrimental to your organization. Grey Cardinal will challenge the current project assumptions with analysis of current project resources and historic cost data.
WORKPLACE AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY CONSULTING
We work with the client and the designers to make the best possible use of space and integrate the Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) with the occupants and the mechanical and electrical systems that are available for use in your premises. With a wide variety of options and budgets for FF&E, Grey Cardinal helps you get the best aesthetic and value for money.
