Structuring the time of complex projects to ensure their success.
Structuring the time of complex projects to ensure their success.
Mastering time is mastering complexity.
In complex projects, delays are never simply technical: they often result from multiple interactions between contractual constraints, scope changes, stakeholder coordination, and unforeseen events.
ALVID Consulting assists clients, companies, and project partners in the rigorous analysis of schedule slippage and the identification of the real causes of delays.
Our approach is based on international best practice in schedule analysis, including that defined by the Society of Construction Law through the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol.
We carry out detailed analyses enabling us to:
Reconstruct the planning and events history impacting the project
Identify the causes and responsibilities for delays
measure the real impact on the critical path
Quantifying potential Extensions of Time (EOT)
Our analyses are based on recognised forensic planning analysis methods such as:
Time Impact Analysis (TIA)
Window Analysis
Impacted As-Planned Analysis
As-Built vs As-Planned Analysis
These methods allow for the production of robust, traceable, and defensible analyses within a contractual or litigation framework.
Our services can include, but are not limited to:
the independent analysis of project delays
the preparation or review of requests for an extension of time
Technical support for contractual and legal teams
the preparation of expert reports within the framework of mediation, arbitration, or litigation proceedings.
In combination Mastery of advanced planning tools and thorough understanding of complex contractual environments, ALVID Consulting helps its clients transform technical planning analysis into a genuine strategic lever for managing deadlines and securing projects.
SECURE YOUR COMMITMENTS, STREAMLINE YOUR DECISIONS
In large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects, scope changes, delays, operational disruptions, or contractual changes can generate significant impacts on costs and timescales.
In these complex contexts — particularly in contracts EPC, EPCM or FIDIC — The management of contractual claims is becoming a major strategic issue for safeguarding the rights of the parties and preserving the contractual balance of the project.
ALVID Consulting accompanies its clients in the structuring, preparation and defence of their contractual claims, relying on a rigorous analysis of the facts, the schedule and the contractual obligations.
Our approach is to transform the technical and operational elements of the project into clear, structured, and defensible contractual argumentation.
Our interventions may include:
Analysis of contractual obligations and claims mechanisms
identification of events that give rise to claims (variations, delays, disruptions, scope changes)
structuring and preparing claim files
quantification of impacts in terms of timelines and costs
Critical review of adverse claims
Strategic support during negotiation, mediation, or arbitration phases.
We work in close collaboration with project teams, contractual management, and legal counsel to ensure consistency between Technical analysis, contractual strategy and negotiation position.
Thanks to expertise combining Project controls, schedule analysis, and a thorough understanding of international contractual environments, ALVID Consulting helps its clients secure their contractual positions and effectively manage dispute situations.
In an environment where financial and reputational stakes can be considerable, a structured and documented approach to claims is an essential lever for protect the parties' interests and promote efficient dispute resolution.
ANTICIPATING TO SECURE PERFORMANCE
In complex industrial and infrastructure projects, controlling timescales relies on a clear, structured, and dynamic vision of the schedule. Implementing a robust system of Project Controls constitutes a key lever for effectively managing project performance, anticipating deviations, and supporting decision-making.
ALVID Consulting supports organisations in structuring and optimising their project planning and control systems to secure programme trajectories and improve schedule reliability.
Our approach aims to integrate planning, risk analysis, and performance monitoring within a coherent framework of Time project management.
Our interventions may include:
Structuring and optimisation of master schedules
Setting up planning repositories (WBS, activity logic, contractual milestones)
Robustness analysis of schedules and identification of critical path vulnerabilities
Setting up performance indicators, planning, and management dashboards
Quantitative risk analysis, planning and simulation of schedule uncertainties
Support to project teams for the updating and interpretation of schedules.
Nous mobilisons pour cela des outils reconnus dans les environnements de Project Controls, particularly advanced planning and risk analysis solutions to assess schedule reliability and anticipate potential impacts on major milestones.
In combination Methodological rigour, technical expertise and understanding of complex project environments, ALVID Consulting helps its clients to strengthen project management transparency, anticipate schedule slippage and secure the achievement of contractual objectives.
In contexts where financial, industrial and operational stakes are major, a structured approach to Project Controls and Risk Analysis Planning constitutes a key factor for project success.
Passing on knowledge, building autonomy
In large-scale industrial projects and infrastructure programmes, success is not solely reliant on technical planning: it also depends on clear governance, structured processes, and effective coordination between multiple stakeholders.
The implementation of a Project Management Office (PMO) allows project steering to be structured, ensures consistency in management methods, and provides decision-makers with a reliable and consolidated view of programme progress.
ALVID Consulting supports its clients in the design, structuring and optimisation of systems for Strategic PMO suited to complex environments, particularly in the energy, infrastructure and major industrial programmes sectors.
Our approach aims to strengthen project governance and improve decision-making quality through clear processes, relevant indicators, and a consolidated view of project performance.
Our interventions may include:
definition and establishment of structures PMO project or programme
Formalisation of governance processes and decision-making circuits
harmonisation of planning, cost monitoring, and risk management methods
Setting up steering dashboards and performance indicators
Coordination of project stakeholders and structuring of reporting mechanisms.
Support for project directors in the strategic management of programmes.
Ensuring coherent integration between Planning, risk management, project performance and governance, ALVID Consulting enables its clients to strengthen their programme control and ensure the achievement of industrial, contractual, and operational objectives.
In environments characterised by major financial and organisational stakes, a Structured and performance-oriented PMO constitutes a key element to ensure the transparency, efficiency and sustainable success of projects.
