After a contract has been awarded we will arrange a kick off meeting. At this meeting we will discuss the scope of the project, your requirements and expectations. We will plan the project to your time-scales, leaving contingencies to ensure that even if variations are issued we can meet your clients deadlines.

Together we will discuss the technical scope of the project, time scales, identify key deliverables. Milestone and drop dead dates. Throughout this meeting the focus shall be on understanding your needs and scheduling the project to meet your clients expectations.

Shortly after the kick off meeting a project schedule (generated from Microsoft Project) and a project scope document will be issued for your approval. The schedule will detail dates information will be issued from yourselves to G&L, and dates G&L will issue design information for your approval. The project scope document will be based upon your purchase order and decisions made at the kick off meeting. The document will detail the information that you will issue to G&L, how this information will be used as the basis for the design and the extent of the design documentation that will be issued to yourselves for approval.

Throughout the project regular progress reports will be issued, keeping you fully informed of our progress and any issues that may effect the schedule and how we can resolve such issues. The progress report will be an honest summary, focused upon delivering the project to schedule. It is expected that you will want to verify the accuracy of our reports and your inspectors will be welcome to visit our offices.

Project Management also covers the issuing of design documentation. These documents will include system configuration, database, controller, logic, applications, safety system and graphic designs. Examples of the content of some of these documents can be found under engineering and graphics on this site.
