Once a capital program is approved, delivering it on time and on budget can be difficult due to inefficiencies, staffing gaps, or outdated procedures.
We offer capital improvement program and operating budget review and implementation services, comparing them to utility best practices, to help clients address these issues. Because Raftelis does not provide traditional capital project design and construction administration services, we offer an independent, unbiased viewpoint focused on helping you prioritize resources, streamline workflows, and deliver your capital program more efficiently and cost-effectively. Are your project management staff using a stage gate project delivery process, an annual cash flow spending forecast tool, a master project schedule, and a monthly project variance report? If not, these are industry best practices, and we can help you get there.
Process and procedure improvements
Resource and staffing alignment
Independent third-party review
Rather than writing a report with recommendations and leaving your organization to find the time to implement them, our process involves working side by side with your staff. We help you "build the plane while flying it" by implementing changes in a logical, stepwise manner that staff will embrace. We take our findings and boil them down into near-term, short-term, and long-term actionable improvement recommendations and then help you implement them. Because we are capital planning and delivery practitioners, we don’t leave you with recommendations that you then have to find time and resources to implement. We also provide direct support to your staff for the implementation and full transition of the activities over to your staff.
