Implementation of public investment road projects
  1. Differences in approach, considering the point of view of the Client (Government Entity) and the point of view of the executor (Contractor).
  2. What should be considered when moving from the commercial stage to the execution stage?:
    • Site conditions and project location (distance to consolidated cities, social scope of the project, climatic conditions).
    • Critical construction processes in road construction (aggregate extraction and production, aggregate transport, water extraction and transport).

Integrated system for planning and economic control of projects
  1. What it consists of and why it is important.
  2. How the system is designed and developed, and what deliverables it generates.

Planning tools and methods for road projects
  1. General planning with monthly updates.
    • Project Gantt chart.
    • Time Diagram – Project Path.
    • Graphic diagram of project progress.
  2. Intermediate planning with weekly updates.
    • Lookahead planning (4-week projection).
    • S-curve of economic progress.
    • Project constraints analysis.
  3. Measurement of progress and compliance with the weekly schedule.
    • S-curve of progress by control item.
    • Measurement of compliance with the weekly plan through the PPC (Percentage of Items Completed) method and analysis of causes of non-compliance.

Tools and methods for economic control in road projects
  1. Monthly economic control reports.
    • Preparation and updating of the WBS (Work Breakdown Structure).
    • Preparation of the Control Items Plan.
    • Preparation of the Target Operational Result (ROM).
    • Preparation of the Operational Control Result (RO).
    • Reliability analysis of the Operating Result through the analysis of the Outstanding Result (OR).
    • Analysis of cost differences using the Standard Costing method.
    • Analysis of scenarios in the Operating Result.
    • Decision-making based on the analysis of the Operating Result. .
    • Preparation and analysis of the project cash flow.
  2. Weekly economic control reports.
    • Preparation of ISP and Earned Value (EV) reports.
    • Analysis of the unit cost of relevant control items.

Implementation of the Integrated Planning and Control System in a project
  1. Development of the implementation plan, assignment of responsibilities and definition of deadlines.
  2. Project Organizational Chart Analysis.
  3. Definition of roles for implementation.
  4. Definition and development of required job profiles
