- Issuing technical cost and resources time-phased baseline master and detailed schedules.
- Generating annual CAPEX budgets (Fiscal and Calendar) by cost engineering modules and utilizing modeling and simulation techniques for long term estimates (5 & 10 years cost-phased plans) using computerized statistical models and probabilities distributions.
- Graphically presenting the Network Diagrams (AON & AOA), PERT, Gantt (Bar chart), curves (Banana, trend and S-curves).
- Preparing contingency plans and multi-scenario schedules.

2- Projects Scheduling, Cost Control and Forecasts:
- Tracking the activities physical progress and updating the projects schedules.
