We’ve all seen it, projects full of unforeseen challenges like escalating costs, schedule delays, claims or worse. But did you know, your project could be delivered… without surprises?

Through experience, we know that you need to focus on doing the “right” project. But equally important, is ensuring you’re doing the “right project right”. Projects aligned with your business objectives, following a robust plan, implemented with the right amount of control by the right team of professionals.  Trusted advisors with a blend of business, technical and project management expertise to help you achieve a more predictable project outcome.

Are you certain that your project is aligned with your business objectives? Have you spent the right amount of time and money planning your project and defining your scope? Do you know how to identify and manage your key project risks? And during implementation, will you get timely and predictive reporting so you can make fully informed decisions?

At Stantec, our Program and Project Management team partners with clients to address these challenges… and more.

We start by conducting a project health assessment , no matter what stage of development you’re in. Then we recommend the appropriate project strategy, planning, and implementation services to help you achieve a predictable project outcome.

With independent and objective project management advice from Stantec, our clients have completed thousands of major capital and operational readiness projects across a diverse range of sectors. What was our part in those successes?

“Integrating themselves with our project team, Stantec often acted as a bridge among the owner, consultants, and contractor, helping us resolve issues and keep the project moving forward.”

Also, judges from the Consulting Engineers of Alberta Showcase Awards said

“This project demonstrates how to manage complexity and achieve predictable results that meet or exceed expectations.”

And finally, Mary McNeil former president and ceo of the BC Cancer Centre said:

“Without a doubt in my mind, this project was a success because of Stantec’s project manager’s skills.’

Let’s be honest - a successfully managed project is key to your long-term career success, not to mention the success of your organization and the communities it serves.  Delivering a complex project without surprises doesn’t mean there won’t be challenges - but Stantec’s project management approach can head-off most problems and provide early warnings if action is required on the rest, meaning you won’t have to manage under crisis.
