iPLAN was established in 2005 to facilitate further provision of specialised planning and project controls services across Australia. Built on years of experience and exposure to the heavy construction, infrastructure, mining, oil and gas industries, our 'first principle based’ project management and control processes define the company’s success.
We provide our clients with full lifecycle end to end, best practice services that are customised to each specific project phase. Whether that be the front end concept through the feasibility phase assisting in delivering the highest quality project control services and guidance. Or after we assist in delivering these study phases moving into the project execution and commissioning phase, where we provide the project controls support to keep the project within the critical time and cost limits which established the project’s viability during the front end study phases.
iPLAN customises these services to the needs of each and every client depending on the specific experience required. That may be in a step-in / step-out capacity where we provide an initial development service establishing the planning and controls for a project phase and then return on an as-needed basis, or the provision of a fully integrated service where we can assist as a project team member(s) to deliver a successful outcome.
Given the vast experience that iPLAN brings to our clients, we are able to assist in protecting our clients during these phases by ensuring continuous forensic schedule analysis. Then if the need arises, we can provide a claims mitigation and defence service leading to a determination provision. Our top priority is to ensure the highest quality outcome for our project partner.
OUR MISSION
"We provide the best project services professionals to our clients by drawing upon the extensive experience of our senior leadership team to ensure a quality outcome throughout the full value life-cycle of any project."
