Project Financing
In most major projects, ALRC has arranged project financing to accommodate the owner’s shortage when the yearly allocation funds does not match construction progress and when payment tenures are longer than construction. Some of these finances include long-term project structures financing as well as deferred payment options with tenures between 2-3 years
Project Control
A project comprise of a series of phases and activities. A method to harness the entire effort, throughout various stages of project is planning. It defines the activities involved in the project and establishes logical sequence and inter-relationship between activities. Accordingly, a schedule is organized to place the project activities on a working timetable.
Planning is essential to perform a function with minimum wastage of time and effort. The schedule is considered as valuable to the planning phase to guide and monitor performance and control over a set of activities to ensure completion of project at required time. The critical path method (CPM) based schedule prepared at beginning of the project identifies activities critical for achieving timely project completion.
Project Management
The single point project management responsibility provides the project with a swift decision making process, enhances communication with the customer, and provides a full sense of “ownership”. Its objective is to identify, monitor, and correct any deviations from the original scope of work quality, cost, and schedule.
A qualified Project Director is assigned to each Project, thus the project Management system is based on a single point responsibility in all the implementation aspects of the project.
The Project Director is fully authorized and supported on a matrix basis approach for project management, i.e. the allocation of resources from functional departments and sections to satisfy the project needs, by the company’s various departments in the areas of Project Controls, Engineering, Procurement, Administrative & Financial, and Construction, as illustrated in the chart.
Individual Members of the project team are selected from the various functional departments and sections. They report to the Project Director with regard to project’s execution; and report administratively to their respective Department’s Managers. The Department’s Managers have responsibility for the functional and technical integrity of the work of their team member(s).
