Project Controls Specialist vs. Planner & Scheduler

Member for

Generally,



A project control specialist work with the owner, advising the owner’s contractors on the delays, how to mitigate the delays and how to catch up.



The planner/scheduler worked with the contractor. They prepare the overall master planning on what will be the contractual intent of the contractor. They also prepare the details of activities: start, finish, durations. Since the plan is contractual, it is not achievable. then comes the commercial manager of the contractor and will instruct the planner/scheduler to prepare another contractual plan / schedule to claim more money from the owner.







Thank you,

Project Controls can relate to a number of disciplines, such as:

-Project Planning

-Cost Engineering

-Document Control

-Change Control



The most important, challenging, undervalued and underpaid of which is of course the planning ;o)
