LaBella Project Managers are uniquely skilled in methodology as well as application.

Procurement & Expediting

  • Analyze requirements to develop procurement strategies
  • Coordinate efforts across departments and locations for material, equipment, and contractor work orders
  • Document preparation
  • Track and expedite bid projects

Document Control

Document Control is an essential support service to our clients and clearly defined within our program management services portfolio.

As program managers, LaBella teams are adaptable to our client’s ERP system and quality programs, and we provide the necessary support for managing documents for capital delivery and operation programs. Many of our clients are ISO certified and our LaBella program management division is built around ISO guidelines (9001/14001).

While LaBella has an internal file management system for design projects (Newforma.com), our program management Document Controllers are provided the technical training required for clients utilizing other procedures or tools.

LaBella’s Document Control Services support client contracts that require various stakeholder actions to facilitate both the issuance and completion of Purchase Orders. Document Control procedures follow the established policies for governance of project documentation and artifacts while working to continuously maintain, audit, and improve control procedures.

Risk Management

Risk analysis and management for all designated projects involves a combination of various software, risk registers, subject matter expertise, and stakeholder input.

  • Project stakeholder meetings and risk workshops
  • Develop risk register to organize and track threats, opportunities and issues
  • Project risk analysis using Monte Carlo simulations
  • Project scheduling with risks and uncertainties
  • Project budgets with risk-based contingencies

Scheduling & Project Controls

Our Schedulers work within project teams to develop cost and resource loaded schedules. Project schedules are carefully evaluated to validate feasibility and alignment with project scope, budget, and time frame to identify variances so that necessary adjustments can be made to project budgets and resource planning. Additionally, LaBella’s scheduling staff coordinates regularly with the client, project teams, and field personnel to actualize activities and milestones and ensure project schedules are current.

LaBella’s Project Controls personnel work to develop baseline schedules and budgets for all projects using MS Project or other client-provided scheduling platforms as needed. Careful analysis of project performance includes critical path, variance reporting, earned value management (EVM), cost performance index (CPI), and schedule performance index (SPI), as well as custom reporting designed to fit project needs.

Field Construction Monitoring

Our team can help you stay on top of increasingly tight timeframes and expensive field operations in project construction phases. We strive for constant collaboration with customers. Maintaining a positive, productive working relationship is our top priority – we believe successful construction projects are “powered by partnership,” a keystone principal of our corporate mission.

With our team members’ extensive industry experience, we’re here to help from simple task coordination to total construction management. LaBella’s growing resource pool of field construction monitors can help all project stakeholders by providing focused field monitoring of site activities. Accurate reporting and communications provide the right people the right intel to make better decisions in real-time.
