Project Control

Gleeds’ project control service has been developed to complement the project manager’s role. It works in partnership with them and their suppliers without duplicating their core deliverables. The service adds genuine value and is seen as a necessity by our clients who use it.

Using the project work breakdown structure (WBS), we integrate scope, plans, schedules, estimates, risks and benefits. The service provides a robust basis for change management, performance management and control.  

Factual information
Our toll-gate driven lifecycle process spans an entire project from business strategy through to operations and is flexible enough to suit a wide range of industries and project types.

We use the latest tools and techniques to provide factual information that enables data-driven decision making and takes the ‘guess work’ out of project management.

The service also directs project managers to project hot-spots and potentially critical areas, enabling them to focus their time and attention on the real issues.
