OUR CAPABILITIES
We provide a flexible range of services tailored to the specific needs of each client and project. Whether delivering advisory support or embedding within delivery teams, we align our approach to your objectives, governance, and delivery strategy.
Below is a breakdown of our service offerings and how we help drive successful project outcomes:
-
Strong planning and scheduling underpins every successful project, providing the framework for informed decisions, risk management, and reliable delivery. However, many organisations still struggle with unclear programme logic, variable standards, and a lack of specialist resource.
With projects becoming more complex and timelines tightening, establishing credible, well-structured schedules from the very beginning is no longer optional, it’s essential. That’s where we add value.
How do we implement effective planning?
Planning and scheduling is core to what we do, and with years of specialist experience, we support major infrastructure, energy, and defence programmes with expert consultancy at every stage — tailoring our approach to each organisation’s delivery requirements.
We view planning and scheduling as far more than producing a programme; it is a strategic management tool that shapes decision-making, drives performance, and protects outcomes. By developing robust, logic-driven schedules, we enable teams to forecast accurately, manage risk proactively, and deploy resources where they will have the greatest impact.
We are developing additional case studies and technical insight for this discipline, reflecting the growing role it plays across our projects. Please contact our team to learn more:

Effective cost estimation is one of the most important factors in achieving project success - shaping both budget and schedule outcomes. Yet for many organisations, it’s still an underdeveloped discipline, with inconsistent practices and limited internal expertise.
As construction costs rise and delivery expectations grow, building robust estimates from the outset has never been more essential. That’s where we come in.
How do we implement good cost estimation?
Cost estimation isn’t new to us, and with years of specialist experience, we provide major infrastructure, energy, and defence schemes with expert consultancy in any capacity needed, tailoring our approach to specific business needs.
We see cost estimation as much more than just a process, but a strategic tool that directly influences a project’s financial health and timeline. By providing accurate, detailed estimates, we help businesses make informed decisions, reduce financial risks, and allocate resources effectively.

Effective cost control is fundamental to delivering projects successfully: Safeguarding budgets, maintaining momentum, and ensuring value is realised at every stage of delivery. Yet for many organisations, cost control is applied reactively rather than strategically, with limited visibility over emerging pressures and change.
As programmes become more complex and margins tighten, proactive financial management throughout the project lifecycle has never been more critical. That’s where our support becomes critical.
How do we implement good cost control?
Cost control is central to what we do. With years of experience supporting major infrastructure, energy, and defence programmes, we provide specialist oversight and commercial insight in whatever capacity is required, adapting our approach to suit each client’s governance structures and delivery models.
We see cost control as far more than tracking spend. It is a strategic function that enables early intervention, informed decision-making, and confidence in financial outcomes. Through robust forecasting, change management, and performance reporting, we help organisations identify risk, protect contingency, and maintain alignment between scope, schedule, and budget.

Effective risk management underpins successful project delivery: Protecting objectives, strengthening decision-making, and increasing confidence across cost, schedule, and scope. Yet for many organisations, risk processes remain inconsistent or overly compliance-driven, offering limited insight into the issues that could truly affect outcomes.
With increasing complexity across major programmes and growing external pressures, proactive and integrated risk management has never been more important. This is where informed, structured approaches make the difference.
How do we implement effective risk management?
Risk management is embedded in everything we do. Drawing on extensive experience across infrastructure, energy, and defence projects, we provide specialist support in whatever capacity is required — tailoring our methods to suit governance frameworks, organisational maturity, and delivery strategies.
We see risk management as far more than maintaining a register. It is a strategic discipline that drives foresight and resilience. Through rigorous identification, quantitative and qualitative analysis, mitigation planning, and ongoing monitoring, we help organisations anticipate uncertainty, prioritise threats and opportunities, and make confident, evidence-based decisions.

Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) is a modelling technique that allows a project team to understand the risk that exists within a project and the impact this could have by predicting project schedule and cost outcomes. Our risk models consider both the impact of uncertainty that may exist in the project and the impact that potential risks may have on the outcome of the project.
At Blueprint, we offer a tailored risk modelling service with the capability to carry out both Quantitative Schedule Risk Analysis (QSRA) and Quantitative Cost Risk Analysis (QCRA).
We provide a fully flexible service whereby we can either be brought in to carry out a QRA on a specific package of work, or alternatively be available on a call-off basis to carry out the service as and when required (even at short notice).

Effective change management is essential to protecting project outcomes, ensuring scope remains aligned to objectives, decisions are made with clarity, and commercial impacts are understood before they escalate. Yet in many organisations, change is handled inconsistently, with limited governance, fragmented records, and late visibility of cost and schedule consequences.
As projects grow in scale and complexity, disciplined change control becomes increasingly critical. Strong processes and timely insight are what keep programmes moving forward with confidence.
How do we implement effective change management?
Change management is a core element of our project controls capability. With extensive experience supporting major infrastructure, energy, and defence programmes, we provide practical, independent support in whatever capacity is required — integrating seamlessly with client teams and existing delivery models.
We view change management as more than administration. It is a decision-enabling function that safeguards value and drives accountability. Through structured control procedures, impact assessment, commercial evaluation, and clear reporting, we help organisations manage change proactively, maintain transparency, and protect approved budgets and schedules.

Effective earned value management provides the insight needed to control complex projects, linking cost, schedule, and scope into a single, coherent view of performance. Yet for many organisations, EVM is applied inconsistently or treated as a reporting requirement rather than a decision-making tool, limiting its ability to drive timely intervention.
As programmes increase in scale and scrutiny, the need for reliable, forward-looking performance measurement has never been greater. Clear metrics and meaningful analysis are what enable confident leadership.
How do we implement earned value management?
Earned value management forms a key part of our integrated project controls offering. With extensive experience across infrastructure, energy, and defence schemes, we provide specialist support in whatever capacity is required, tailoring systems, processes, and reporting to align with client governance and maturity.
We see EVM as far more than a set of indices. It is a strategic capability that transforms data into insight. Through robust baselining, progress measurement, performance forecasting, and executive-level reporting, we help organisations understand emerging trends, predict final outcomes, and take corrective action before issues escalate.
