Five steps from guess to evidence.
Every engagement runs the same method, whether we arrive at the first baseline or the month the critical path breaks. You always know what we are doing, what you will receive and when.
The EvrardBanes Method.
Five steps, each with deliverables you can hold us to.
Diagnose
We open the native files before we form a view: contract dates, logic, float, cost and change logs. Then we tell you where you really stand.
- Schedule health check
- Critical path read-out
- Top ten risks, ranked
Baseline
We build or rebuild the plan with real logic, defensible durations and your own milestones tied into the network.
- CPM baseline in P6 or MS Project
- WBS and cost codes
- Basis of schedule
Measure
Progress is validated against the field, not reported by feel. Cost and schedule are read together every period.
- Monthly update and narrative
- SPI, CPI and variance
- Change and delay log
Forecast
We run time and money forward, so leadership sees the likely finish and final cost while there is still room to act.
- P50 and P80 finish dates
- Estimate at completion
- Contingency drawdown curve
Close out
We protect the end game: commissioning, turnover and closeout, then hand over a clean as-built record and reusable templates.
- Turnover schedule
- As-built schedule
- Templates for the next project
Controls need a schedule of their own.
A slip hides in the gap between reports. This cadence closes the gap on every engagement.
- Two-week look-aheadsCut from the master schedule, walked with the field and checked against what actually happened last period.
- Monthly updatesProgress, logic changes and critical path movement, with a narrative that names what moved, why and who owns it.
- Executive reportingOne page for leadership: finish date, confidence level, cost forecast, top risks and the decisions due this month.
- Quarterly risk refreshThe risk register and Monte Carlo model are rerun, so the P80 date moves with the project, not with hope.
We work in your systems.
No proprietary platform to buy. We deliver files your team can open, audit and keep using.
Our default for large CPM schedules and programs. We read, administer and deliver native XER files.
When your team or your contractor works in it, so do we. No forced conversions, no lost logic.
Schedule and cost risk models that turn one hopeful date into P50, P80 and P90 outcomes.
Dashboards and cost models your finance team can open, audit and keep using after we leave.
Automated checks on logic, float, constraints and dates, with a person reading every result.
Start with step one.
Send us your current schedule. We will tell you where it stands and what the first move should be. A senior project controls lead replies within one business day.
