Service overview
Planning that sets up delivery for success
PPSS embeds senior planners on capital projects to establish credible programme frameworks, develop and validate schedule baselines, and align sponsors and delivery teams before float and commercial pressure take over. We work owner-side and contractor-side across infrastructure, energy and resources — Brisbane-based, nationally delivered.
Programme frameworks that hold
Stage gates, milestones and planning standards that match how the project will actually be delivered — not templates that sit in a folder.
Baselines built to survive review
Schedule baseline development and independent assurance so the plan is credible to leadership, auditors and counterparties before execution ramps.
Alignment before the pressure lands
Sponsor and stakeholder frameworks that keep scope, milestones and reporting expectations visible while the programme is still being shaped.
Core capabilities
What we deliver in project planning
From greenfield programme setup through re-baseline and assurance, we scale from targeted senior oversight to a planner embedded for the duration.
Schedule Assurance & Independent Review
Independent review of logic, durations and interfaces — with clear findings leadership can act on before the baseline is locked.
Sponsor & Stakeholder Alignment Frameworks
Reporting cadences, milestone definitions and governance rhythms that keep sponsors, clients and delivery leads on the same page.
Stage Gate & Milestone Planning
Stage-gate readiness, gate criteria and milestone packs structured for steering committees and contractual reporting.
Planning Standards & Templates
Planning standards, look-ahead templates and handover documentation so the in-house team can sustain the discipline after we exit.
