Why Profile

The compact, resourceful and well-organised Profile team have a combined construction experience in excess of 200 years. The company has been involved in projects ranging in size from £150k to £1.8 billion. The wide variety of work has covered commercial, retail, leisure, hospitals, education, airports and road & rail infrastructure. Work has taken members of the team to Europe, the Far East and the Caribbean. Closer to home, we are active with projects in London and the home counties

Comprehensive Programming & Scheduling

The preparation and development of good programmes lies at the heart of all well managed projects. We ensure that all our programmes are detailed and comprehensive as well as being logic linked. The careful use of Work Breakdown Structure coding information enables extracts to be made that cover trade, sections and phasing aspects of the core programmes. The addition of cost, equipment needs and labour resources will provide a further level of management information.

• Preparation of initial scheme feasibility programmes
• Management and monitoring of design teams
• The reproduction of hand-drawn bar charts into fully logic linked critical path networks or presentation quality Gantt Charts
• Establishment of project milestones and the identification of their criticality relative to individual project events and tasks

Development Design & Procurement

The secret to an integrated programme is to combine not just the construction works but also the design process and off-site procurement. The introduction of the supply chain to the programme ensures that by reviewing progress a full picture is obtained and action can be taken on all fronts to secure a timely completion to the project.

• Detailed interlinked programmes
• Supply chain actions and milestones identified
• Identification of off site manufacturing, testing and delivery
• Ability to measure and integrate off site production with construction requirements

Critical Path Analysis

The use of industry standard software provides the tools to manage the project and allows the work progress to be reviewed and interrogated on a regular basis. Such a review will identify the 'critical path' as it changes during the course of the project. Additional control can be obtained by carrying out 'what if' evaluations of scenarios or options to recover time lost as the project progresses.

• Logic Linked
• Dynamic
• 'What if' scenario assessments
• Measure and evaluate delay and disruption
