Solutions for Contractors
Aegis works with contractors to provide real world project controls solutions from preconstruction to close-out. We blend scheduling, risk, and resource management to provide the project with critical actionable information.
We are relentless in delivering services beyond expectation
At Aegis, we believe there is a big difference between creating a schedule and planning. A schedule is a document that is prepared to meet a contract requirement. Our plans are a tool to manage the project from concept to completion.

We offer an extensive list of scheduling, cost, risk, dispute resolution, and analytic services to help our clients deliver their projects on time and within budget.
OVERVIEW

LEAN PRINCIPLES IN PRACTICE
At Aegis, we don’t just talk about Lean principles; we put them into practice. Lean isn’t just a buzzword for us; it’s the emerging method of choice for effective project planning and scheduling. We believe it complements Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling to capture essential details that improve project execution. Our team leverages a balanced approach of Lean principles and CPM planning to optimize project workflows and drive positive outcomes. It’s the key to our effectiveness — precision meets adaptability.
At Aegis, our team of Lean champions provides discrete services in the form of training, facilitation, or consulting on existing processes and capabilities for project execution. We have a team of qualified experts who excel at leading pull planning sessions—a powerful tool within the Lean methodology. Pull Planning is a collaborative technique that starts with an end goal (like a milestone) and works backward, involving stakeholders and subcontractors to enhance planning quality and buy-in. Our experts lead planning sessions that empower subcontractors and train general contractors in pull planning facilitation. Our Lean services also include Takt planning, which helps project teams ensure a balanced workload that minimizes waste by efficiently scheduling the movement of labor and materials around the job site.

APPROACH
Aegis was founded on the principle that risk management starts before construction and is maintained through the lifecycle of the project. A properly implemented risk management plan not only predicts issues throughout all phases of a project but provides detailed contingency protocols for each scenario. The earlier risks are identified, communicated, and modeled, the more likely we are to overcome them and minimize the impact to the project.
