NCS Construction Management

Component-Based Program Management Methodology

Utilizing a proven Program Management methodology enhances design development, ensures timely responses to construction issues and risks, and defines appropriate scope controls using logical and resource-driven components. Each component of this framework includes several project-specific tasks:

Develop processes for gathering and reporting program data
Identify and report cross-project interdependencies
Align project phases across interdependent projects
Monitor all key decision points and associated decision dates
Determine impacts of delayed decisions on the construction program
Perform project risk assessments by identifying potential areas of risk and provide solutions to mitigate those risks
Manage the processes and resources that support issue and risk identification, communication and resolution
Highlight critical issues which may impact program completion dates
Monitor scope changes and their impact on cost and delivery dates
Strengthen team problem-solving by proposing both high-level and detailed solutions to construction issues

The core components of our Program Management methodology are shown below:

Adherence to this Program Management methodology creates an effective communication mechanism for all resources involved in project delivery and provides a "blueprint" for streamlining the overall construction effort. Additional advantages include:

Value Delivered - NCS excels at aligning construction programs with Owner objectives and maintains a strong focus on identifying measurable value.

Program Success - Our comprehensive Program Management approach underscores our commitment to design and deliver a construction program which exceeds the Owner's expectations.

Execution and Risk Management - Construction programs of significant size and complexity have inherent risks. The Owner can be confident that NCS will provide the required leadership capabilities and veteran experience necessary to address program risks and manage unexpected challenges.

Teaming - Our approach to cross-project coordination and teaming allows the Owner to maintain focus on its primary objectives and organizational mission with the assurance that NCS will coordinate and manage the efforts of all project participants to achieve the Owner's goals.
