Integrated Planning

One Model. Total Control. For Mega-Projects, Programmes & Portfolios

We build and maintain a single, living Primavera P6 model that fuses schedule, cost, risk, resources, scope, contracts, and performance into one version-controlled source of truth—delivering predictability, transparency, and agility across the full lifecycle of the world’s largest engineering and construction endeavours.

What “Integrated Planning” Means in Practice

FragmentedIntegrated
Siloed Excel, disconnected toolsOne P6 database – every activity drives time, cost, EV, and risk
“Schedule says on-time, budget says overrun”CPI 0.93 / SPI 0.89 calculated live from the same % complete
Weeks to assess a scope change+21 days / +$4.7 M / 9 % risk increase – scenario run in <1 hour

End-to-End Lifecycle – One Model, Every Lens

PhaseIntegrated Outputs (from the same P6 file)
Concept / FEEDClass-5 cost, feasibility schedule, qualitative risk matrix, portfolio ranking
Detailed DesignLevel-3 CPM, resource histograms, Monte Carlo P50/P90, EVM baseline
ProcurementLong-lead tracker, vendor logic synced via activity codes
ConstructionDaily look-aheads, EVM variance alerts, risk-adjusted cash flow
CommissioningStartup sequences, system turnover milestones, final EAC
CloseoutAs-built P6, lessons-learned WBS tags, portfolio KPI archive

Core Integration Pillars in Primavera P6

  • Scope – WBS/EPS hierarchy; deliverables tied to milestones
  • Time – Logic-driven, resource-leveled, baseline-protected CPM
  • Cost – Budgets, actuals, forecasts; cost-loaded activities → S-curves & EAC
  • Resources – Labour, equipment, materials; global pools prevent overallocation
  • Risk – Embedded risk register → Monte Carlo (Primavera Risk Analysis) → P80 contingency
  • PerformanceFull EVM (CPI/SPI/TCPI) auto-calculated every period
  • Contracts – POs & variations linked to cost codes; change orders update schedule & budget in one click
  • Portfolio – EPS roll-up → cross-project dashboards, capital burn, resource heat-maps

Programme & Portfolio Layer

  • Enterprise Project Structure (EPS) groups 10–200+ projects
  • Shared resource dictionaries & cross-project histograms
  • Portfolio dashboards – combined CPI/SPI, risk heat-map, cash-flow forecast
  • Scenario centre – “What if we crash Project B by 60 days?” → instant impact on manpower, cost, risk

Proven Results
