Programme, Project & Contract

Program, Project & Contract Management (PPCM) is the cornerstone and integrator of our engineering consulting services. As reflected in the range of Infrastructure Development Services, we manage projects (single or multiple/ concurrent) from initiation, planning, design, and procurement, through construction, commissioning, and closure. Besides, we offer consulting services that help our Clients improve their maturity and enhance their capabilities in PPCM (e.g. development of PM systems, procedures and tools, the establishment of PMO, training, etc.).

Program Management plays a significant role in ensuring that all Company’s or Programs’ projects are aligned with strategic vision and objectives and meet operational, cost, budget, and time-related targets. The program management services we offer mainly include:

Contract management services are usually offered as accompanying services to procurement and project management consulting. The services we offer mainly include:

• Monitoring of contractor’s performance against his contractual obligations;
