We are a consultancy providing Project Planning, Project Controls and Dispute Resolution in the Construction and Engineering sectors worldwide.
We are specialists, with all our team having extensive experience both sides of the fence with contractors & clients. Using this extensive experience we face obstacles head on and challenge the balance between cost and value, risk and benefit to deliver to our clients’ progressive solutions. We are committed and passionate about what we do and in achieving success for you.
Whether our role is to lead or support your resources, we integrate and work as part of the team supporting the planning & project controls requirements to deliver projects on time, safely and within budget.
Where projects have not progressed ‘as planned’, Plan Ahead provide contractual advice along with Forensic Analysis & Dispute Resolution where required.
Our team have experience working on small tenders to projects in excess of $5 billion. To us it’s not the size of the project that matters; it’s making a difference for the client.
