Structuring the timeline of complex projects to ensure their success.
Structuring the timeline of complex projects to ensure their success.
Mastering time is mastering complexity.
In complex projects, delays are never purely technical: they often result from multiple interactions between contractual constraints, scope changes, stakeholder coordination, and unforeseen events.
ALVID Consulting supports project owners, companies, and project partners in the rigorous analysis of schedule deviations and the identification of the actual causes of delay.
Our approach is based on international best practices in delay analysis, particularly those defined by the Society of Construction Law through the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol.
We carry out detailed analyses enabling us to:
reconstruct the history of the schedule and events impacting the project
identify the causes and responsibilities for delays
measure the actual impact on the critical path
quantify potential time extensions (Extension of Time – EOT)
Our analyses are based on recognized forensic schedule analysis methods such as:
Time Impact Analysis (TIA)
Window Analysis
Impacted As-Planned Analysis
As-Built vs As-Planned Analysis
These methods enable the production of robust, traceable, and defensible analyses within a contractual or dispute context.
Our assignments can notably cover:
the independent analysis of project delays
la préparation ou la revue de demandes d’extension de délai
technical support to contractual and legal teams
the preparation of expert elements in the context of mediation, arbitration, or dispute proceedings.
By combining mastery of advanced planning tools and in-depth understanding of complex contractual environments, ALVID Consulting helps its clients transform the technical analysis of the schedule into a genuine strategic lever for delay management and project security.
SECURING YOUR COMMITMENTS, STREAMLINING YOUR DECISIONS
In large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects, scope changes, delays, operational disruptions, or contractual changes can generate significant impacts on costs and schedules.
In these complex contexts — particularly in EPC, EPCM, or FIDIC contracts — the management of contractual claims becomes a major strategic issue to secure the rights of the parties and preserve the contractual balance of the project.
ALVID Consulting supports its clients in the structuring, preparation, and defense of their contractual claims, based on a rigorous analysis of the facts, the schedule, and the contractual obligations.
Our approach consists of transforming the technical and operational elements of the project into clear, structured, and defensible contractual argumentation.
Our assignments may include:
analysis of contractual obligations and claim mechanisms
identification des événements générateurs de claims (variations, retards, perturbations, changements de scope)
structuring and preparation of claim files
quantification of impacts in terms of delays and costs
critical review of opposing claims
support stratégique dans les phases de négociation, médiation ou arbitrage.
We work in close collaboration with project teams, contract departments, and legal counsel to ensure consistency between technical analysis, contractual strategy, and negotiating position.
Through expertise combining project controls, delay analysis, and in-depth understanding of international contractual environments, ALVID Consulting helps its clients secure their contractual positions and effectively manage dispute situations.
In an environment where the financial and reputational stakes can be considerable, a structured and documented approach to claims constitutes an essential lever to protect the interests of the parties and promote an effective resolution of disputes.
ANTICIPATING TO SECURE PERFORMANCE
In complex industrial and infrastructure projects, schedule control relies on a clear, structured, and dynamic vision of the planning. The implementation of a robust Project Controls system constitutes an essential lever to effectively manage project performance, anticipate deviations, and support decision-making.
ALVID Consulting supports organizations in the structuring and optimization of their planning and project control systems in order to secure the trajectory of programs and improve schedule reliability.
Our approach aims to integrate planning, risk analysis, and performance monitoring within a coherent framework of project time management.
Our assignments may include:
structuring and optimization of master schedules
implementation of planning reference frameworks (WBS, activity logic, contractual milestones)
analyse de la robustesse des plannings et identification des vulnérabilités du chemin critique
implementation of schedule performance indicators and management dashboards
quantitative analysis of schedule risks and simulation of schedule uncertainties
support to project teams for schedule updates and interpretation.
We mobilize for this purpose recognized tools in Project Controls environments, notably advanced planning and risk analysis solutions enabling the assessment of schedule reliability and the anticipation of potential impacts on major milestones.
By combining methodological rigor, technical expertise, and understanding of complex project environments, ALVID Consulting helps its clients strengthen the transparency of project management, anticipate schedule deviations, and secure the achievement of contractual objectives.
In contexts where the financial, industrial, and operational stakes are significant, a structured approach to Project Controls and schedule risk analysis constitutes a key success factor for projects.
TRANSFERRING EXPERTISE, BUILDING AUTONOMY
Dans les projets industriels et les programmes d’infrastructure de grande envergure, la réussite ne repose pas uniquement sur la planification technique : elle dépend également d’une gouvernance claire, de processus structurés et d’une coordination efficace entre les multiples parties prenantes.
The implementation of a Project Management Office (PMO) enables the structuring of project management, ensures the consistency of management methods, and provides decision-makers with a reliable and consolidated view of program progress.
ALVID Consulting supports its clients in the design, structuring, and optimization of strategic PMO frameworks adapted to complex environments, particularly in the energy, infrastructure, and major industrial program sectors.
Our approach aims to strengthen project governance and improve the quality of decisions through clear processes, relevant indicators, and a consolidated view of project performance.
Our assignments may include:
definition and implementation of project or program PMO structures
formalisation des processus de gouvernance et des circuits de décision
harmonization of planning methods, cost monitoring, and risk management
implementation of management dashboards and performance indicators
coordination of project stakeholders and structuring of reporting mechanisms
accompagnement des directions de projet dans le pilotage stratégique des programmes.
By ensuring coherent integration between planning, risk management, project performance, and governance, ALVID Consulting enables its clients to strengthen the control of their programs and secure the achievement of their industrial, contractual, and operational objectives.
In environments characterized by major financial and organizational challenges, a structured and performance-oriented PMO constitutes a key element to guarantee the transparency, efficiency, and lasting success of projects.
