Project controls explained
What does professional project controls mean?
Project controls combine commercial thinking with technical reality. They provide the reliable factual basis on which complex construction projects are steered economically, on schedule and with low risk.
Spot risks early
Deviations are identified before they endanger the project.
Reliable forecasts
Forecasts and scenarios give certainty for decisions.
Controllability
Figures become concrete recommendations for project and management.
Scope of services
Nine building blocks for controllable projects
We combine classic controlling with modern tools – tailored to your construction project.
Cost control
Continuous monitoring of all cost items with a clear, traceable structure.
Schedule control
Schedules, critical paths and progress consistently in view.
Budget management
Active control of budgets, change orders and approvals.
Forecasts
Reliable projections and scenarios for cost and schedule.
Project reports
Meaningful reports for project team, client and investors.
Plan vs. actual
Early indicators of deviations – structured and fact-based.
Performance reporting
Earned value, CPI, SPI and further project performance metrics.
KPI dashboards
Interactive Power BI dashboards – clear and usable on mobile.
Management reporting
Executive reports at decision-maker level – concise, precise, actionable.
Understanding earned value
How CPI and SPI reveal deviations
Move the slider: the example shows how planned value, actual cost and earned value condense into cost and schedule indices.

Values below 1.0 mean higher cost or less progress than planned – an early indicator for corrective action.

Frequently asked questions
Answers for your decision
From what project size are project controls worthwhile?
Structured controls pay off wherever cost, schedule and stakeholders can no longer be overseen at a glance – typically on medium and large building and infrastructure projects. In an initial conversation we clarify the appropriate scope for your project.
How quickly can we start?
As a rule, a workable controls set-up – including KPI dashboard, reporting rhythm and defined steering processes – is in place within a few weeks.
Do you work with our existing systems?
Yes. We integrate into your system landscape – from RIB iTWO and SAP to Excel – and complement it with Power BI, Power Query and automation.
Do you run reporting operationally or support our internal team?
Both are possible. We take over ongoing reporting or enable your internal team – depending on the project situation and target picture.
How do you ensure data quality?
Through clearly defined data processes, automated preparation with Power Query and regular consistency checks between estimate, accounting and construction schedule.
Is the reporting suitable for our management?
Yes. We deliver condensed executive reports with clear statements, early-warning indicators and recommendations – in addition to detailed operational reports.
