Long logistics
Freight, port handling and inland haul need activities tied to installation, not a single procurement allowance.
AUSTRALIA
Project Controls in Australia
Australian programmes often combine long logistics legs with strict client reporting. The schedule has to stay credible in both the site office and the board pack.
Australia
Planning Australian programmes without hiding logistics or weather
Australia rewards schedules that admit distance. Plant, labour and materials can travel a long way before a site activity can start. A baseline that collapses that into one lag will fail the first wet season or the first late shipment.
We support infrastructure, energy, resources-adjacent and commercial building programmes with Primavera P6 networks that include procurement, transport, weather calendars and commissioning. Reporting is written so a client in Australia or overseas can read the same dates.
State holidays, cyclone and heat windows, and shutdown periods on operating assets are calendars, not footnotes. That is usually what separates a recoverable programme from one that only looks fine in PowerPoint.
On the programme
Australian planning pressure points
Weather windows
Cyclone, heat and wet seasons move float. They belong in the calendar before the finish date is published.
Operating assets
Brownfield shutdowns and access windows sit on the critical path and need named predecessors.
Client reporting
Monthly packs must match the live network. Separate tracker sheets create two versions of the truth.
How we help
How we support Australian teams
Planning, scheduling and project controls from a Manchester-based consultancy, deployed to the programme rather than tied to a local office in every city.
Baseline and health review
A clean network with calendars, coding and a critical path that can be explained.
Period updates
Progress, remaining duration and out-of-sequence work recorded against one data date.
Recovery options
Re-sequencing when weather or logistics take the float, with dates leadership can trust.
Earned value alignment
Progress rules that match the schedule so SPI and CPI stay meaningful.

Australia planning questions
Do you have an Australian office?
No. EVM Solutions is based in Manchester and supports Australian programmes with the project team, remotely and on visits when needed.
Which sectors do you cover?
Infrastructure, energy, industrial and commercial building programmes are the usual context.
Can you work in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project?
Yes. Most complex programmes use P6. We also support MS Project where that is the contract tool.
How does this relate to the Asia Pacific page?
Asia Pacific covers multi-country supply chains across the wider region. This page focuses on Australian delivery conditions and reporting.
