A self-sufficient team, sized to your project.
We execute projects by forming independent project teams, our Project Molecules, drawn from across our whole organization. Each one is dedicated to a project or portfolio, with full accountability to deliver.
We’re flexible to your project’s needs. The concept stays the same.
The team’s shared system of recordTransmission: a handful of high-value projects at once, with large structures and costly materials. A full project office, a field team, and dedicated cost and schedule support.
Illustrative: every team is sized per project.
Whatever the size and structure of your project, we provide a molecule that is self-sufficient and covers, at a minimum, these functions.
The project manager leads the molecule and is accountable for delivery. We consult you and take your direction, then execute it independently within the structure you give us.
In this setup:Project managerProject engineering works in Ontrek PM, our own project system, turning the field team’s verified quantities into progress, forecasts and the weekly report.

In this setup:Construction manager, Field coordinatorWe call it support on purpose: we work alongside your project-controls team, not over it. Having these functions inside the molecule takes load off your staff, so the team can move without waiting on your already busy people.

Why it works.
Full accountability
One dedicated team owns delivery of your project or portfolio.
A self-reliant team
The functions the project needs sit inside the team, so it doesn’t wait on anyone to move.
Higher productivity
Our tools, processes and expertise take more of the work onto us.
Continuity
The same people stay on the job, from the first week onward.
No extra draw on your resources
We consult you and take your direction, then execute independently within the structure you give us, without drawing on your already stretched staff.
That is the key to delivering projects better than our industry peers.
How the team works, week to week.
One example molecule on a jobsite. Field verification feeds Ontrek PM every week, and the forecast reaches the owner the same way on every project.

Two values in
Contractors report installed quantity and actual hours. Percent complete, productivity, forecast at completion and approved invoice are calculated.
Verified every week
Field coordinators check installed quantities on site. The construction manager and project engineer review them together each week.
Scales one molecule at a time
Each project runs its own molecule in Ontrek PM, and every project rolls up into one portfolio view for the owner.
