Maximizing the impact of project controls in construction management

April 5, 2024Mike Carey

A comprehensive project controls strategy is often underappreciated within the construction industry, a sector characterized by stringent schedules and constrained budgets. Project owners commonly assume that general contractors manage all project controls via their schedules. However, achieving consistency across multiple projects presents a continual challenge that considerably influences project costs and overall success. Siloed teams, divergent processes, and inconsistent resource allocation contribute to operational inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Consequently, project owners bear the repercussions of these risks, manifesting as project delays, cost overruns, unnecessary risk exposure, and disgruntled stakeholders.

The Aegis Companies knows that project controls extend beyond mere schedules. Our approach maintains a holistic view of project management, from initial planning to execution, monitoring, and reporting. Our approach is straightforward and impactful: We provide world-class project controls services using the project’s schedule, cost, resource, and risk data to provide timely, unbiased, and informed decisions earlier in the project lifecycle.

A successful construction management team manages time, costs, resources, and risk. As the nation’s largest project controls company, Aegis has managed those elements for two decades on projects of all types and sizes. Our combination of world-class project controls and experienced construction professionals creates better, more predictable construction management outcomes at every delivery phase.
