LogiKal Projects Established in 2002, LogiKal Projects now has five offices worldwide based in the UK,
Australia and Hong Kong. The business is dedicated to supporting clients with the

to successful outcomes. We have a proven track record of helping clients to establish
solutions which are appropriate to the risks they face in managing delivery. This
approach has enabled us to develop successful long-term relationships with both
client and contracting organisations, and build a reputation for delivering highly
effective solutions.

Learning and Development and Systems.
Working across a range of industries (rail, oil and gas, roads, power, utilities, airports,

Where will our knowledge take you…
Many organisations today are recognising the role which effective project controls
can play in enabling them to get better outcomes from their projects.
Consequently our consulting services are designed to help with the analysis of
current status and planning for improvements.
Our approach is based on using practical rather than a theoretical approach and
focuses on finding appropriate ways for organisations to improve and progress.
Our Project Controls Maturity Assessment will help you understand
where you are, by carrying out a full assessment of the strength of your
project controls maturity. We will then partner with you to develop your
existing capability and hence ensure you achieve great outcomes.
If you are looking to develop your capability within project controls,
LogiKal Projects has the answer. Following an initial assessment, we will
identify early warnings of problem areas and suggest improvements
across the 3 elements of people, process and systems. With the
resulting development in efficiency and effectiveness of central data
management, cost savings and reporting.

Stakeholders often require independent assurance at several stages that
projects are achieving the right confidence status on time and cost and
have an adequate management solution to remain in control as they
proceed. Our experts can review your project and provide you with the
confidence, along with any recommendations for improvement.
“Are you prepared for the government led initiative that fully collaborative
3D BIM shall be in place on all its projects by 2016?”
As part of our complete consulting service we can help build organisational
capability to leverage BIM models for project controls purposes. We can
advise on strategies for inter-operability of systems, project controls friendly
BIM data standards, off the shelf system selection and integration, linking
schedule and cost components to BIM components, and utilising 3D
models within the construction phase.

Transitional and Operational Support
When you invest in a project controls solution you will need trained people to
operate it. We can help you with that. Whether you need a full team to

successful.
Our consultants are selected not only for their technical experience but also
for their ability to communicate and work flexibly in meeting your needs. We

Project Planning Services
We understand that the project
plan is central to successful
project delivery. Our planning
engineers are all skilled
communicators who will work with
you to derive a plan which
accurately reflects the activities
being undertaken, and
identifies their relationships,
all at a level of detail which
is matched to your control
needs. Once derived they
will work with you to monitor
progress and to adjust the
plan as needed so that it
continues to be ‘owned’
and remains an essential
asset to your management.
Project Cost Management
Services
In order to manage to a
budgeted outcome it is essential
for projects to ensure that
individual activities are being
delivered to cost. Our team can
assist you in building your
budget and controlling
it against planned and
actual cost of delivery
using Earned Value
techniques. By aligning
cost budgets with the
plan through a common
Work Breakdown
Structure (WBS) we will
provide you with an
integrated approach
which binds schedule
and cost
management together.
Risk Management Services
It is acknowledged that
successful outcomes to projects
require key risks to be
recognised and managed. Our
team will work with you to
ensure that those risks are
identified and that their
mitigations are actioned at a
level which is
appropriate to the
risk. Project controls
provides early
warnings of risks
which may affect
the outcome of
your project so that
action can be
taken as early as
possible.
Change Management
Services
Effective project controls requires
that a fixed Performance
Management Baseline (PMB) is
established. This anchors the plan,
the budget and the risk plan as a
basis for performance
measurement and management
going forward. Once established,
it is required to maintain each of
these elements as changes occur
through the project lifecycle. Our
team will support you in doing that
so that your control plan remains
up to date and reliable remains a
reliable basis for measuring
performance.

Project Controls Technology Solutions
Integrated Project Controls Architecture
There are many excellent software products available to assist you with the control and
management of your projects, programmes and portfolios. This includes tools to control
schedule, to monitor and manage risk, to create and manage budgets and to deal with
contract administration and change. All of these tools individually can assist your
management greatly. However, maximum value from a solution is only realised if these
tools are well integrated through common data structures.
LogiKal Projects hold a range of reference models designed to be built and brought into
operations rapidly; reducing your implementation costs and delivering value in a short
timeframe.
Data Analytics and Dashboard Reporting
Getting your project controls data into the hands of the right stakeholders is critical in
order to truly extract value from your controls solution, but reporting on your projects can
be a very time-consuming and resource hungry process, particularly if your controls
team needs to compile information from multiple sources.
LogiKal Projects can help you to streamline your reporting and analysis process by
automating the extraction and conversion of data from your source systems using
innovative reporting and data analytics products that can turn your reporting cycle on
its head, allowing on-demand reporting in simple to use
Dashboards where executives can drill into data to
investigate project health. This allows your team
to spend much more of their time analysing
and responding to the data, therefore
measuring the effectiveness of your
project management.

Training Solutions
Available Practical courses (can be specifically tailored on request)
Principles of Planning:
A one day course which introduces delegates to the basic principles of planning. The
course aims to demonstrate the fundamental elements required to develop a project
schedule: how to use a schedule to manage and predict project duration; how to
use a schedule to uncover and address project risks; and ultimately using a schedule
to monitor and control your project.
The course is suitable for individuals with little or no previous planning experience and
for non-specialists who need to gain a broader understanding of how plans are
developed, their importance in identifying and implementing the most effective and
efficient ways to achieve your project deliverables.
Risk Management:
Identifying and mitigating risk is essential to the success of your project. This one day
course introduces delegates to techniques which will enable them to identify,
evaluate and control project risks. By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
describe a project risk management process; design and complete a risk
management plan; perform a basic risk assessment; plan appropriate responses to
risks; and monitor the risk management plan.
Earned Value Management (EVM):
LogiKal Projects offers courses in ‘The Principles of EVM’; ‘The Practical Application of
EVM’; and a third, longer course which combines both courses turning EVM novices
into confident practitioners. Whilst many professionals have an awareness of, or may
even have used EVM on some level, experience has taught us that it is rarely applied
to its full potential. Variations on the full course can be tailored to suit organisational
needs whether that is affording stakeholders a basic conceptual understanding of
EVM or taking current EVM practitioners to the next level. LogiKal believe success
comes through the control, clarity and communication of a projects health and EVM
is a valuable tool in maintaining all three.
:
LogiKal believes that there is a great benefit to be gained from ensuring our
client teams are well versed, not only in the theory but the practicalities of
operating good Project Controls solutions. Our practitioners go beyond the
theoretical approach to help delegates understand the practical application
of that theory. By using increasingly complex scenarios and real-life examples
we’ll teach you how to identify opportunities to add value.

Available software courses (can be tailored upon request)
Deltek Cobra Training:
Cobra is an Earned Value Management software system, designed to be
compatible with P6, OpenPlan, Excel, SAP, MS Project and other major planning
software. Cobra allows for quick and easy manipulation of project information
drawing on all resources to produce tailored reports showing all available information
clearly and easily. LogiKal has drawn on the experiences and expertise of all of our
Cobra users to build a course that ensures you understand how Cobra actually works
and not just what to click.
Primavera P6 Training:
The LogiKal P6 courses draw on real-life scenarios that require attendees to learn
through practical application, walking away confident in their ability to implement
what they have learnt to their own schedules. In addition to this our P6 courses are
supported by Paul Harris’ ‘Project Planning and Control Using Primavera P6’
handbook affording trainees a familiar and practical reference guide when back in
the workplace. These courses are offered at a Fundamental level or for Advanced
users.
RIB CSuite and iTWO training:
RIB’s CSuite product is a multi-user capital cost estimating and contract
management tool. It allows estimators to generate, quantify, estimate and price Bills
of Quantities (BoQs). It allows planners to link the BoQs to an activity schedule to
cost/price and resource load the schedule. It allows contract managers to collate
and evaluate priced BoQ returns from suppliers, and to manage their subcontracts,
including change management, re-measurement and payment evaluation.
iTWO has a newer user interface and extends functionality to generating either
completely or in part, the BoQ from a 3D model.
