Vanguard Controls Group brings field-tested project controls expertise to energy, pipeline, and infrastructure projects. We speak both the language of the schedule and the language of the field.
Full baseline schedule creation and management using Oracle Primavera P6. From project inception through closeout — built to industry standards with logic integrity and resource loading.
Ongoing schedule updates, variance analysis, and reporting. We identify slippage before it becomes a problem and provide actionable recovery plans to keep projects on track.
On-site field control services including physical progress measurement, quantity tracking, and schedule progress updates. We bridge the gap between the field and the office.
EVM setup and reporting including CPI, SPI, and forecasting. We give project owners the data they need to make informed decisions about cost and schedule performance.
Independent schedule review and forensic analysis. We assess contractor schedules for logic errors, missing activities, resource conflicts, and compliance with contract requirements.
Three-week look-ahead schedules, executive dashboards, and stakeholder reporting packages. Clear, professional deliverables that keep all parties aligned and informed.
Vanguard Controls Group was founded by Joshua, a master scheduler with roots in the trades. Before managing complex project schedules for major energy clients like TC Energy, he worked as a union pipefitter and weld inspector — giving him a perspective on project controls that pure office schedulers simply don't have.
That field experience is what sets Vanguard apart. When we review a schedule or track field progress, we understand what's actually happening on the ground. We don't just read drawings — we've done the work.
Today, Vanguard Controls Group provides P6 scheduling and project controls consulting to energy, pipeline, and infrastructure clients across North America. We operate remotely and on-site, adapting to each client's needs.
