Track costs, manage schedules, and stay ahead of risks with expert support that keeps your project steady, focused, and fully aligned.
When you’re deep in the details of a major project, it’s easy for things to slip. Timelines shift, costs creep up, and before you know it, your schedule’s a mess. That’s where solid project controls come in, keeping the moving parts in check and helping your team stay on track.
Bringing in a consulting company can be a game-changer. They bring a fresh perspective, loads of experience, and the tools to spot problems before they escalate. But not all firms are created equal, and choosing one shouldn’t feel like a shot in the dark.
So how do you sort the real deal from the fluff? When comparing project controls consulting companies, it helps to ask the right questions. Whether you’re building, upgrading, or delivering something new, finding the right partner starts with knowing what to look for.
A strong consulting company should help you get a grip on budgets, timelines, and risks without overcomplicating things. They’ll offer scheduling support, cost tracking, performance reporting, and risk forecasting, all in plain English. If they can’t explain how they add value or simplify your workload, it might be worth exploring other options.
Experience counts, but it’s not just about years in the game. Look for a track record in your sector, whether that’s construction, infrastructure, or capital projects. Ask about past wins, similar challenges they’ve tackled, and whether they’ve worked with teams like yours. Their experience should feel relevant and transferable to your goals.
You don’t need to be a tech expert, but your consultants should know their way around scheduling software, forecasting tools, and earned value management. Ask what systems they use and how those tools actually fit with your setup. The goal isn’t flashy dashboards; it’s visibility. If they’re still using spreadsheets for everything, keep moving.
Chemistry matters. Good project controls consulting companies listen, adapt and communicate clearly. They should feel like a natural extension of your team, not an outsider with a checklist. If they’re rigid or hard to get hold of early on, imagine what it’ll be like mid-project. Trust your gut and choose someone you’d actually enjoy working with.

“I got trained for Primavera P6 PPM through Compass Consult. Honestly, the things that got me in were their competitive pricing and payment plans in offer. The thing that I highly admire about the training is that it is a very practical, hands-on training wherein you can learn while working on your own project. The trainers are highly experienced and fundamentally strong. I would strongly recommend the training to someone who needs hands-on experience in P6.”
“We got our Primavera P6 EPPM software and Installation done through Compass Consult. The solution that was given was a good fit for our company size and compliant for the types of projects that we do. One thing that I admire a lot is the customer service team who were very quick in resolving any queries we had and gave us full clarity of the process. I recommend Compass Consult to any company looking for a genuine solution to their Project Management needs.”
“We found Compass Consult through an online search and got competitive pricing from them on Primavera P6 implementation and consultancy.

I would highly recommend working with Compass Consult for setting up your project controls systems and processes.”
"Compass has bent over backwards to meet the needs of SRG Global. They have been patient as we went through the process of reviewing and approving the equipment. Equipment was then delivered promptly to the location we requested. The project does not start until the new year, but given the excellent service thus far, I am highly confident it will not have any issues with the network connectivity setup."
The earlier, the better. Bringing someone in during the planning phase helps set realistic baselines for cost and time and gives you a clear structure to work from. Waiting until things start going wrong often means spending more time and money trying to fix avoidable problems.
Absolutely. It's not only large projects that run into trouble. Smaller jobs can face the same challenges, just with tighter margins. A consultant can help you spot issues early, keep resources balanced, and stop small setbacks from turning into costly delays.
