Delivering Clarity and Control to Complex Projects
Specialist project controls across the full project lifecycle — from tender programme development and baseline scheduling through to performance analysis, EOT claims support, and interactive Power BI dashboards.
Project Controls Across the Full Lifecycle
Project controls is the technical discipline that integrates schedule, cost, scope, and risk data into a single coherent view of project performance. Applied with rigour — through structured programmes, consistent measurement methodology, and robust performance analysis — it gives project teams and owners the information they need to make decisions before problems become claims.
Ramkrishna brings specialist project controls expertise across the full project lifecycle, with deep capability in Primavera P6 programme development, earned value management, schedule performance analysis, and EOT claim substantiation. The technical approach is grounded in recognised industry standards including AACE International recommended practices, PMI scheduling standards, and DCMA schedule quality criteria.
Delivery is hands-on and embedded — integrating with client systems, P6 environments, document management platforms, and contractual reporting frameworks to ensure controls outputs are current, auditable, and directly usable by the project team.
Project Controls Services
Specialist delivery across the full project controls discipline — from baseline programme development through to performance analysis, claims support, and interactive reporting.
Tender Programme Development
Scope-aligned, logic-driven programmes structured for contract submission — built to support commercial obligations and withstand evaluation scrutiny from day one.
Contract Baseline Programme Preparation
Baseline programmes prepared to the required WBS, OBS, and coding structure — forming the single source of truth for all performance measurement and change assessment.
Programme Updates & Progress Monitoring
Weekly and fortnightly schedule updates capturing actual progress against the approved baseline — maintaining a current, auditable record of project status across the delivery period.
Look-Ahead Programmes
2-week, 4-week, and 6-week short-interval schedules — constraint visibility, resource commitments, and upcoming critical activities communicated clearly to site delivery teams.
Visual Progress Reporting (Planned vs Actual)
S-curves, milestone tracking charts, and progress variance analysis — planned versus actual performance presented clearly at WBS and project level for each reporting audience.
Interactive Reporting (Power BI)
Live-linked dashboards built in Power BI — audience-specific views for site teams, project managers, and executive sponsors, updated automatically from P6 and Excel data sources.
Daily, Weekly & Monthly Dashboards
Performance dashboards prepared on the project's reporting cadence — from daily site progress summaries through to formal monthly progress reports in client or funding-body format.
Delay Analysis
TIA, As-Planned vs As-Built, Windows Analysis, and Collapsed As-Built — methodology selected for evidentiary strength in the contractual context, with concurrent delay identification and apportionment.
Extension of Time (EOT) Analysis & Claims Support
Cause, effect, and entitlement established through programme evidence and project records — structured to meet contract notice requirements and substantiated using recognised delay analysis methodology.
Project Scheduling Services

How We Work
Project controls is only as good as the discipline behind it. The approach applied across every engagement — from a weekly programme update to a complex delay analysis — is grounded in structured methodology, verified data, and clear communication.
Primavera P6 as a Data Platform
P6 is operated as a data management environment — not just a scheduling tool. Activity coding, user-defined fields (UDFs), global change scripts, and custom layouts are configured to produce the specific reporting extracts, EVM data feeds, and look-ahead outputs each project requires. The schedule is the single source of truth.
Working in the Tools Your Project Runs On
No proprietary platforms. Services are delivered using the industry-standard tools that major capital projects already operate on.
