Crane Group Consulting integrates Program Management in parallel with its Project Management (PM) service, thereby ensuring the Client benefits from effective, efficient and innovative project delivery.

Our Program Managers work to secure the Client’s objectives through the project life cycle inclusive of planning, design, procurement, construction and commissioning, with the objective of providing standardized technical and management expertise on each project.

Crane Group Consulting Program Management focuses on Client participation to identify key issues that can affect elemental completion, and indeed the end result. We recognize that the scope of services to be provided by our Program Management is dependent upon the needs, capabilities, and resources of the Client’s organisation and the specific challenges of their program or project. 

Crane Group Consulting together with the Client, through constructive engagement, develop a final scope of services to support the delivery program of the project. Development of a program budget evolves from this scope and is a key stage in the detailed planning of the project. In addition, we embrace macro stakeholders at all times, to ensure the program is developed and managed to achieve the best possible outcomes for all.

Crane Group Consulting’s application of pre-control measures to expected program timelines, is a most critical springboard for successful program planning, management and final delivery. Crane Group Consulting resources, and directs the professional program team, which is critical to successful project delivery.
