Startup & Handoff Standards
Define estimating handoffs, scope review, kickoff requirements, budget setup, procurement planning, and responsibility assignments.
Project Delivery Systems
Give Every Project a Clear, Consistent Way to Run.
We develop the handoffs, procedures, and control tools your teams use from estimating and startup through construction and closeout. Clear responsibilities and review points help project teams work consistently across your business.
Connect the Work From Estimate to Closeout
A project delivery system defines what information moves between teams, what must be checked at each stage, and which records support decisions. We build practical standards around your project types, team responsibilities, and existing tools.
This engagement develops your company’s delivery practices and tools. Support for managing an individual project is available through a separately defined engagement.
