For every project, CDM implements a proven project controls system that integrates planning, scheduling, cost controls, estimating, administration, and status reporting functions to simplify project monitoring, reporting, and decision making. Our project controls bring information closer to the decision maker in a timely and effective manner by using both manual and state-of-the-art computerized tools, such as Primavera, forms and reports, guidelines, manuals, consistent standards and procedures, and specifications.
Of course, CDM's own comprehensive quality management program extends from project planning through construction and startup, providing rigorous requirements for project monitoring, technical reviews, information management, and all other project elements. In addition, each project relies on consistent procedures for quality control, information flow, records management, communication, risk management, health and safety, amendments, field engineering, procurement, logistics, inspection, startup, training, operations and maintenance, and many others. Finally, since too many complex controls can limit efficiency and effectiveness, CDM infuses our project controls approach with a healthy dose of good old-fashioned common sense.
