Planning, scheduling, estimating, risk and controls for the owners and contractors whose projects are regulated, reviewed and remembered. We build the baseline, run the monthly cycle and train your people to keep it.
Fewer planners than projects? That is who we work for. We set up the baseline, keep the schedule and the forecast honest every period, and hand the executive review a set of numbers that came straight from the plan. When the engagement ends, your own people run it, because we trained them on the model they inherit.
Each service stands on its own and each one feeds the next. The estimate becomes the baseline, the baseline is what progress is measured against, and risk, earned value and change are read from the same schedule every month.
Resource-loaded baselines in Primavera P6, Oracle Primavera Cloud or DeltaSys: WBS, logic, calendars, crews and constraints, leveled and verified against the critical path.
Classed estimates from concept screening to detailed design, with rate build-ups, quantities, a risk log and a written basis of estimate, then cost control against them.
Monte Carlo analysis run on the schedule itself: three-point estimates, correlation, risk events from a register, weather, and the P50, P80 and P90 dates with the drivers behind them.
PV, EV, AC, SPI, CPI, EAC and TCPI from the schedule and the actuals, period by period, with the variance analysis and the report pack the steering committee expects.
Work measured in hours with the plant down: shift calendars, crew limits, isolation and permit logic, look-aheads and a risk run on the critical path before the window opens.
An owner's representative or a project manager for the job, and the PMO setup that outlasts it: procedures, templates, a reporting calendar and the controls system your people will keep running.
The order is the method. A controls system built in this sequence can be audited back to the estimate, and a team trained on it can run it without us.
Read what exists: the estimate and its basis, the schedule and its logic, the actuals and where they come from. A written findings note with the gaps ranked, in the first two weeks.
A classed estimate and a resource-loaded, leveled schedule that agree with each other, a risk run on it, and a baseline review your stakeholders sign.
The monthly cycle: progress to the data date, earned value, forecast, risk refresh, change modelled before approval, the report pack, and the XER back to the system of record.
Your planners trained on your own projects, the procedures written, the templates in place, and a transition period where we review their work before we leave.
We work for the firms that engineer and build capital projects and for the owners who answer for them: to a regulator, a customer, a board or the public. The common thread is accountability for the baseline, the forecast and every change in between.
EPC, EPCM and general contractors who bid on a classed estimate, deliver on a resource-loaded schedule and report earned value to the owner every month. We build the tender schedule, the baseline and the monthly report.
Firms that plan, estimate and control projects on a client's behalf and need an independent planner, estimator or risk analyst for a phase, a review or a surge.
Programmes reviewed against lifecycle gates, where a slipped milestone is a public event. Integrated baselines, risk-adjusted dates and traceable change.
Contracts that report earned value to the customer every month, with surveillance of the baseline and the change process. We set up the system and keep it compliant.
Planned outages measured in hours, refurbishments measured in years, and a regulator on site. Outage schedules, dose-constrained work, risk runs on the critical path and a portfolio of units.
Substations, lines, hydro and generation renewal across many sites and divisions, with rate-case scrutiny on every dollar. Classed estimates behind each project and a portfolio view above them.
Hyperscale and colocation builds where a week of delay is a contract penalty and the long-lead equipment drives everything. Procurement milestones, commissioning logic and what-if on the delivery dates.
Capital programmes answerable to councils, treasury boards and auditors. An executive view that comes straight from the schedules, with the estimate basis stated on every project.
Turnarounds, pipeline and terminal projects with strict shutdown windows and contractor crews. Turnaround planning, contractor progress and the link between the turnaround and the capital work.
Remote sites, seasonal access and commodity-driven go or no-go decisions. Weather in the risk run, quantity-based progress and a portfolio view across operations.
Validated facilities where the commissioning and qualification sequence is the schedule, and change must be documented. Rules of credit, change control with history, and packs ready for review.
Multi-year programmes with possession windows, many contractors and a public timetable. Possession calendars, contractor schedule integration and a programme timeline against the baseline.
Municipal and regional capital plans with dozens of mid-sized projects and a small controls team. One retained planner keeps every project current and the council's report pack ready.
Rate ramps, tooling and facility programmes tied to delivery commitments. Resource-loaded baselines, progress from the floor and earned value by work package.
The methods these programmes are measured by are the methods we build the controls around, so the figures in the review are the figures the method expects.
Standards and guides are named to describe the practices we work to; no certification, accreditation or endorsement by any body is claimed.
Instructor-led courses in Primavera P6 Professional, Oracle Primavera Cloud and DeltaSys, built around hands-on exercises in a simulator that behaves like the real software, so a class can break things without touching your production database. Delivered on site, remotely, or as self-paced modules your learning system can track.
Most of our clients keep Primavera as the enterprise record. Where an owner wants the estimate, the schedule, the risk and the portfolio in one browser-based model, we bring DeltaSys, the project controls platform built by PGR Delta Systems Corp.
Primavera and P6 are trademarks of Oracle Corporation; Microsoft Project is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. PGR Delta is an independent consultancy; no affiliation or endorsement is implied.
PGR Delta Systems Corp. is a federally incorporated Canadian company based in Ontario. We are planners, estimators and project managers first; the software we build came out of the work, not the other way round. Engagements are led by a principal who stays on the job, and every deliverable is written to be audited later.
Three ways: a scoped deliverable such as a baseline, a risk analysis or a schedule audit; a planner or controls lead embedded with your team for an outage, a project phase or a year; or a retained project controls service that runs the monthly cycle for a portfolio. All three are quoted in writing before any work starts.
Oracle Primavera P6 Professional and EPPM, Oracle Primavera Cloud, Microsoft Project and DeltaSys. Schedules move between them as XER, XML and CSV, and we keep your enterprise system as the record unless you decide otherwise.
Both. Outages, turnarounds and training are usually on site; baselines, risk runs, audits and the monthly controls cycle are usually remote with site visits at the milestones that need them.
From a single outage or a few-hundred-activity capital job to a portfolio of projects with a small controls team. The method scales; the engagement is sized to the schedule, not the other way round.
Yes, and most engagements end that way. The courses run on a simulator so a class can learn on realistic projects without touching production, and the capstone uses your own structure so the skills transfer the next morning.
We reply within one business day with questions, not a sales pitch. If the fit is right, you get a written scope and price; if it is not, you get a straight answer.
