Project Controls Across the Full Capital Lifecycle
Four specialist disciplines. Applied independently or as an integrated framework — giving owners full control over scope, schedule, and performance.
Four Disciplines. One Integrated Framework.
On every major capital project, decisions are only as reliable as the performance information behind them. Targetplan provides independent controls expertise — objective, structured, and embedded directly within project delivery — ensuring owners always have a clear picture of where their project stands.
Our four service disciplines can be engaged independently or deployed as an integrated controls framework. We embed at any project phase — from feasibility and FEED through to construction and commissioning — and we scale to match the project's scope, complexity, and governance requirements.
Project Planning & Scheduling
A credible programme is the foundation of every controls system. Targetplan builds schedules that reflect how the project will actually be delivered — logic-driven, resource-considered, and defensible under scrutiny.
From tender programme through to a fully baselined contract schedule, the programme is structured to serve as a genuine management tool — not a document produced to satisfy a contractual requirement.
Project Controls Framework Setup
Starting a major project without a controls framework is like beginning construction without a site plan. Targetplan designs and implements controls systems from the ground up — or restructures existing systems that are no longer fit for purpose.
We configure the governance, tools, and reporting cadences that give your project the controls infrastructure it needs to manage complexity.
PMO & Advisory
A Project Management Office that functions as a bureaucratic overhead is a liability. A PMO designed with the right governance and the right reporting provides the decision-support layer that major programmes depend on.
Targetplan helps organisations establish or restructure their PMO — from governance framework design to independent assurance reviews that give boards confidence in the information they're receiving.
Reporting & Dashboards
Data without narrative is noise. Narrative without data is fiction. Targetplan produces reporting that combines rigorous performance analysis with clear communication — so the right people receive the right information in a form they can act on, without needing to interpret raw data.
How We Work
A structured four-phase engagement model that adapts to your project's stage and embeds at any point in the lifecycle — from feasibility through to commissioning.
Discover
We begin by understanding your project context — its current controls maturity, the capability of your team, the complexity of your scope, and the expectations of key stakeholders. No assumptions. No pre-packaged solutions.
Design
We develop a controls framework tailored to your project — scheduling methodology, cost baseline structure, reporting cadence, and governance model. Every element is designed for your project's specific requirements.
Implement
We configure the tools, establish the processes, and embed alongside your team during project mobilisation. Controls frameworks fail when they're handed over rather than implemented. We stay through mobilisation to ensure adoption is real.
Sustain
We provide ongoing controls support through the project lifecycle — monitoring performance, managing variance, updating forecasts, and evolving the framework as the project progresses from design through to commissioning.
Project Lifecycle Embedding
Targetplan embeds at any project phase — feasibility, FEED, detailed design, procurement, construction, or commissioning. Our controls frameworks scale from early-stage concept assessments through to full programme delivery environments.
We are equally effective as an initial engagement on a greenfield project or as a recovery team brought in to stabilise a programme that has lost controls discipline mid-delivery.
Governance & Independent Reporting
Project owners and boards deserve reporting that reflects reality, not contractor optimism. Targetplan produces independent reports that are structured to meet funding body requirements, board expectations, and owner governance obligations.
Our reporting gives decision-makers genuine visibility — not summarised data that obscures the performance story.
Programme Methodology, Tools & Standards
The technical delivery methodology behind our project controls practice — including programme development standards, delay analysis methods, DCMA schedule assessment, and the full tools suite — is documented on the dedicated Project Controls page.
