CRITICAL

Electrical is dragging your critical path

SPI0.82 9%
DETECTED

Electrical earned 1,240 fewer hours than planned over 3 periods. At this rate substantial completion slips 7 weeks — $1.1M in liquidated damages exposed.

RECOMMENDS

Move 6 electricians from Instrumentation (SPI 1.06, 11 days of float) to Electrical this week. Recovers ~0.05 SPI in one cycle and protects the LD date.

Integrated Project Controls

Schedule, earned value, productivity and cost live in one system of record — P6, Excel and field data reconciled automatically so every stakeholder argues from the same numbers, not competing spreadsheets.

Automate Data Processing

Upload a weekly progress file and Controls Star recalculates CPI, SPI, EAC, critical path and discipline health in seconds. The 12-hour reporting cycle your controls team dreads becomes a one-click refresh.

Identify and Mitigate Risks

Controls Star reads every discipline every period and flags slipping productivity, float erosion and contingency burn weeks before they hit the milestone — with the quantified exposure and the exact corrective action.

Recover or Accelerate

Know where to move crews, shifts and scope to buy back float — then watch the recovery land period over period. When you are ahead, see exactly where acceleration pays and where it just burns cash.
