We can effectively implement and use the simplest and most cost effective tools on the market today. We are also very experienced with more elaborate systems that apply Monte Carlo methods, BIM, and four-dimensional scheduling. Our services are further enhanced by employing best practices developed and taught by leading associations in the A/E and construction industries, such as: * DBIA * PMI * CMAA * AACEI * ASPE
We provide technical support for the critical components of the project delivery including the definition of project management plans: project organizations, roles and responsibilities, communication and reporting, as well as, delivery processes. We provide the solutions for program and project management including: complexity with reporting, providing accurate project status, lessons learned and benchmarking between projects, as well as, the challenge of managing multiple projects at the same time.
Lagrange has enhanced its competence with industry best practices and developed the Lagrange methodology for planning and controls. We are proactive and provide management with on-going status reports, monitoring of performance vs. plan, and provide assistance to resolve any project variances.
Lagrange Methodology
The Lagrange methodology supports the use of industry standard best practices in planning and controls. Fundamental to these are the Project Management guidelines developed and supported by the “Project Management Institute (PMI)” and documented in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Additionally, we adhere to and implement the best practices of the “The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering (AACE)”.
