Effective project management is more important than ever - re-engineered and downsized organizations, international multi-owner teams, and poor construction practices are but a few of today's concerns. Without efficient management, there is a 50% chance that your project will encounter serious delays, substantial cost overruns, or both. Such problems are especially serious in countries where there is a lack of experienced, impartial management. Robert A. King, Inc. (RAKI) provides the best insurance for avoiding these difficulties - effective project management by experts acting on behalf of the owner. RAKI was established to provide this solution and has proven results on more than 200 projects in 45 different countries, with total investments exceeding $30 billion. In every case where RAKI has been given total responsibility and has had proper authority, RAKI has been successful in controlling costs and quality of workmanship while adhering to an agreed-upon schedule. Each RAKI project manager serves as chief executive and technical administrator and is responsible for achievement the project's objectives. We get results by focusing on controlling time, costs, and quality and by bringing ten elements of effective project management to every job.

CONTROLLING TIME, COST AND QUALITY

    TIME
    After a careful survey, a master project schedule is established. After defining this tight, yet realistic schedule, our project manager makes sure available resources include the necessary professionals and equipment. We often use critical path analysis to determine precise events and, as the job progresses, we see to it that all work is inspected.

    From start to finish, RAKI management makes the daily executive decisions required to keep your project on schedule - even in the face of unforeseen problems, such as late deliveries or bad weather. And, the project manager provides regular, comprehensive reports to keep the client fully informed.

    COST
    To create a realistic budget for your project, RAKI considers both our experience with similar projects and up-to-date information on market conditions. Our history and attention to detail enable us to create a detailed budget and manage cost control for the lifecycle of the project. Our project manager maintains constant surveillance to anticipate the cost impact of major design changes and construction modifications while issuing timely cost reports.

    QUALITY
    We ensure that the proper specifications and design standards are established for your project, enabling your to achieve your goals; meet company and local regulations; and benefit from superior workmanship. During all work phases, steady supervision and thorough inspections help RAKI deliver quality.
