Project Management in Construction & Engineering

Proven Industry Solutions for Project Management in Complex Construction and Plant Engineering

Large civil engineering, building construction or engineering projects consist of many sub-projects, phases and disciplines, and each stage must be completed within a previously agreed timetable. Delays in construction projects are usually subject to high extra costs and penalties. A lead contractor often looks after day-to-day project management for the building owner, while the lead consultant may also handle planning and financing tasks. However, the building owner is still involved in the overall completion of the project.

The Project Management Solution

Complex schedules, current budget and cost overviews, detailed contract management, and risk management are just a few of the challenges for organizations managing large construction projects. In this environment, a knowledgeable and experienced PMO is essential. By integrating different systems, such as ERP and document management, with the project management system, decision-makers can manage the challenges more easily.

O’Reilly Technologies Project Group has years of experience in providing project management solutions for companies working on large construction projects.

Project and Portfolio Management Solutions in Different Lines of Business

Understanding the specific needs of an industry is very important to implement a proper and suitable Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) system. However, when looking into an organization, you will find several lines of business (LOB) that run projects. Their requirements may differ significantly.

What’s more, looking at a special LOB such as internal Security, you can find a lot more similarities in this LOB across various industries than you would with another LOB such as Government in the same industry.

O’Reilly Technologies has over 20 years of experience delivering solutions for project, portfolio, and resource management to specific lines of business.
