On Time and On Budget Is Possible.
Delivering a large scale capital construction project successfully is challenging. Even with careful planning, adequate information and scheduling; managing large projects frequently requires far more to remain on track and within the allotted budget. It takes more than just a scheduling software, it takes a program that handles all of the critical elements of the project seamlessly. It takes a program that makes all of those pieces of information transparently available to each of the project's participants - in real time. With the power of real-time information, your project team can make real-time decisions - timely, accurate, informed decisions. With Project Trac™ on time and on budget isn't a hope, it's a reality. To ensure nothing has been overlooked,
Project Trac records and tracks all equipment and systems identified through piping, mechanical and electrical drawings. Lists, procedures and inspections are incorporated and results recorded ensuring one transparent source for the entire project – from procurement through acceptance.
Graphical reporting enables Project Managers to make informed decisions. Punch lists, engineering and construction issue reports, equipment installation progress reports, damage reports and mechanical inspection reports all contribute to enhanced efficiency and better management of the process. "S" curves detailing actual status against the original planned schedule are available on a daily or weekly basis.
