PROGRAM & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project Management
Multifaceted projects have complex challenges that require successful team integration. Building the right team to manage your project is crucial to your success. Our consultants have the proven ability and expertise to manage the most complex projects. We identify issues and resolve conflicts before they become problems using established procedures and processes that consistently yield excellent results. We start by establishing priorities and coordinating activities and participants to ensure that your projects are delivered safely, on time, and within budget.
Client’s Representative
When appointed as your representative, we will ensure that value engineering is embedded in the project culture; this will minimize design and construction costs, project delivery time, and facility life cycle costs while maximizing project flexibility and value through strong communication and process development. Our staff can augment your existing staff or team to work on your behalf when no staff is available. We collaborate with you to tackle the day-to-day responsibilities, while minding the bigger picture.
Schedule Management
AFP is unparalleled in providing planning, and scheduling management services on projects in multiple industries. We provide owners with constant feedback and information to ensure successful project execution. To accomplish this, we develop and maintain custom reports that graphically depict project schedule status in a timely manner. This leads to enhanced schedule management and increases the likelihood of achieving (or beating) your cost and schedule goals.
CONSTRUCTION CONSULTING
Procurement Options Selection
Choosing the correct project delivery method is an important step toward ensuring successful results. While there are advantages and disadvantages to each procurement route depending on schedule and budgets restraints and project complexity—AFP ensures that each method is carefully considered when developing an overall implementation strategy. We have extensive experience working with a wide range of project delivery methods, including Construction Management, design-build, lump sum design-bid-build, and others.
Construction Management
AFP provides comprehensive construction management consulting services that provide the best results for your project. Our experts possess decades of engineering and construction experience and apply this knowledge to the everyday challenges that owners, contractors, engineers, and architects face throughout the construction process. Depending on your specific project needs and requirements
Constructability Review & Pre construction Services
AFP is often asked to assess the accuracy and completeness of construction plans and specifications and to validate schedules and budgets. A constructability review looks for document inconsistencies and completeness, potential liability, coordination issues, and missed details, among others. It also identifies and eliminates ambiguities and contract language that contribute to unnecessary construction change orders, disputes, and adversarial relationships between the contractor, owner, designer, and project stakeholders.
Change Order Management
Resolving change order situations early minimizes your costs and avoids contractor and project schedule disruptions. PMA has extensive experience developing and managing the change order process for owners, contractors, and subcontractors on multimillion dollar projects and includes labour rate compliance, change order metrics, and contract entitlement.
PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT
An effective project management plan maximizes value within established cost and time allowances. While typical components of project management—scope management, change management, cost/schedule controls—are effective individually, a continuous, integrated risk management process is essential for successful project execution. AFP risk management specialists identify and evaluate project risks, manage risk registers, facilitate qualitative risk assessments, conduct quantitative risk analyses, and develop risk mitigation strategies and plans. We develop qualitative risk assessments in conjunction with project stakeholders; integrate those assessments into robust, quantitative cost and schedule risk analyses; and monitor and mitigate any risks accordingly.
