KKCS provides project control services through a variety of skill sets. See below for a representation of these services.
Cost Management:
Cost Management is a function that includes the processes that are required to maintain effective financial control of projects (evaluating, estimating, budgeting, monitoring, analyzing, forecasting, and reporting the cost information). Cost is the cash value of project activity. The goal is to ensure that projects yield the results necessary to be profitable or meet a service requirement and add to the organization’s bottom line or an acceptable and beneficial service.
Schedule Management:
Schedule Management is the process of defining project tasks and their durations, dependencies, and assigned resources to complete the project within a designated time frame. It also includes monitoring and reporting on the schedule to ensure the project is delivered on time. The schedule determines when work elements (activities) are to be completed, milestones achieved, and when the project should be completed. The budget determines how much each work element should cost, the cost of each level of the work breakdown schedule (WBS), and how much the total project should cost.
Risk Management:
Risk management is the continuing process of identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and treating loss exposures or opportunities and monitoring risk control and financial resources to mitigate the adverse effects of loss or maximizing opportunities. The four common treatments for risk are: Avoid, Transfer, Mitigate, and Accept.
Constructability Review:
A constructability review is a useful project management tool that allows a client to “think like a contractor” throughout the design phase of a project. Looking at the buildability of a project, problem-solving cost, and risk in design has numerous benefits, providing clarity for both owners and contractors. An independent and structured review of construction bid documents by construction professionals to make certain that the work requirements are clear, the documents are coordinated, and that they assist the contractor in bidding, construction, and project administration to result in reduced impacts to the project.
