Project Definition
TC&M staff members are skilled at leading the Project Definition process
for any major capital improvement project. Project Definition is a proven
method to transition from an overall Master Plan to full implementation of
the project. It prepares all stakeholders for success, starting with the initial
design phases and specifically developed to last through construction completion,
by establishing a well-defined concept with reliable, defined costs. TC&M
is experienced at guiding the Owner through the Project Definition phase including
oversight of consultant selection, overall project organization, cost estimating
and all required negotiations that provide the client with the benefit of
a clearly defined project plan. More Information on Project Definition
Capital Expenditure Programming and Scheduling
Project Definition is a first critical step, but the costs and plans have
to be put into a structure that reflects the true nature of the project. TC&M
has a proven track record of setting up a fully functional and successful
work breakdown structure (WBS) foundation for both costs and schedules. Whether
this information is used in conjunction with Project Management tools like
Prolog and Primavera or with spreadsheets, the basic structure is an essential
part of a successful capital project. TC&M personnel are skilled at creating
these essential cost and schedule building blocks and automating them through
project management software.
