We don’t think anyone has expected to stay at home this long, isolate ourselves, and keep each other safe by staying away from each other. But here we are, experiencing these all amid the coronavirus pandemic. Because of the self-quarantine measures and travel bans, some sectors are impacted heavily, and they are facing losses in the workforce.
What does it mean?
The question is now ‘What does the coronavirus mean for the project controls landscape?’. Based on our experience, it sure doesn’t mean that everything stops right now, and we just stop trying. On the contrary, as always, we find a way to take care of each other.
How does it impact the major companies in the field?
In the last few days, we spent some time talking with our clients, some major companies in their industries, as they are the best observers of what is happening in the space.
They all say that the project controls work still has to get done and that they still need support from the professional services expertise and remote working at a time like this. The demand for our cost engineering consultants proves this.
How can we help each other?
At Cost Engineering Consultancy, we are able to support our clients with our expertise in remote working, and they can use this as leverage to maintain business continuity.
All that our consultants want for the world of project controls is to know that they are there to help with their greenfield, brownfield, and turnaround/maintenance projects.
- Coming from different backgrounds – such as (petro)chemical, mechanical, aerospace, civil, energy, offshore, and mining – our cost engineering consultants are specialized in cost estimation, cost controlling, risk managing, planning, tendering, and turnaround management.
- They have all the tools, such as Skype and Microsoft Teams, in place for online meetings.
- To create the best home office, they took their laptop, an additional screen(s), and in some cases, even their chair from the office.
- All in all, they can still do their job and make sure all projects go as efficiently as possible.
