Opus Aure Project Management

Services

We manage the work; your teams and contractors carry it out. Whatever the sector, this is what Opus Aure takes responsibility for on your behalf at each stage of a project.

1

Assess

Before you commit: is the project worth doing, and what exactly should it deliver?

Feasibility and viability studies

A clear basis for a go or no-go decision. We set the questions the study has to answer, bring together the commercial, technical and financial inputs, and present the findings in a form you can act on.

What we manage

  • Scope and terms of reference for the study
  • Cost, funding and risk assumptions
  • The final report and recommendation

Project definition and business case

Before money is spent, everyone agrees what the project is for. We set out the objectives, scope, budget and timeline, and how success will be measured.

What we manage

  • Objectives, scope and success measures
  • Budget envelope and key milestones
  • Governance and approval route
2

Plan

Turning an approved idea into a plan that can be resourced, priced and agreed.

Planning and scheduling

A realistic plan that everyone works to. We break the project into work packages, put them in sequence, and set the milestones, resources and dependencies.

What we manage

  • Work breakdown and programme
  • Resources, dependencies and critical path
  • The baseline schedule progress is measured against

Budgeting and procurement

We build the budget, then buy against it. We prepare tenders, compare bids on cost, quality and risk, and help you appoint the right contractors, suppliers and consultants.

What we manage

  • Cost plan and contingency
  • Tender documents and bid evaluation
  • Contract award and onboarding
3

Deliver

Your teams and contractors do the work. We keep the project under control until it is handed over.

Delivery management

From mobilisation to completion, we keep everyone coordinated and the work on track, so problems surface early and decisions reach you with the facts attached.

What we manage

  • Coordination of contractors, suppliers and stakeholders
  • Progress, quality and change control
  • Issues and risks, logged and resolved

Cost control, reporting and close-out

Spending tracked against budget, clear reports at every stage, and a clean handover at the end.

What we manage

  • Cost tracking, variations and payment certification
  • Regular reporting to you, your partners and funders
  • Handover, close-out and lessons learned
