The objectives of Project Controls are to:

- Provide accurate and timely information for management decision making.
- Develop and monitor a detailed schedule which will enable the project to be completed on or ahead of schedule at the lowest possible cost and in compliance with the system turn over schedule.
- Establish budgets and control systems which provide accountability for all supervision from the Project Manager to Discipline Supervisor / Subcontractor.
- Provide basis for identifying, tracking, estimating and approving scope changes.
- Minimize the cost for monitoring and maximize the effort of control.

The Project Controls philosophy is based on early and thorough planning, followed by timely execution of the work utilizing appropriate tools to monitor the results and measure progress.

The controls used will be as simple as possible, effective and flexible. During the execution of the work, the controls instituted will be reviewed for effectiveness.

Project Controls exists for the purpose of budgeting and scheduling the project, identifying deviations from budgets and schedules and recommending corrective actions when deviations occur. In order to identify deviations early and accurately, the project will be organized by the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). This will allow the Project Team to analysis problems at a manageable level.
