EVM for Federal Construction Agencies Mandating Earned Value

Posted by Pinnacle Management Systems, Inc. on Tuesday, May 12, 2009

As commercial construction opportunities decline, more companies are turning to Federal contracts.  

Most Federal government contracts (VA, DHS, DOD, DOE, etc) mandate the use of Earned Value Management (ANSI 748) to propose and execute these contracts.   

Pinnacle Management Systems has helped many companies, propose, implement and achieve a validated Earned Value Management (EVM) System, the gold standard for bidding on contracts.

We know where businesses in the construction industry face challenges in implementing an EVM System.

  • Most companies in the industry do not understand what an Earned Value Management System is and how it is different from your current project controls system.
  • Your current systems may contain many of the elements needed for EVM, but you will have gaps. 
    • We can identify these and leverage what you already have in place.
  • Most construction companies drive their programs and contracts by schedules, when schedules change so does the budget profile. 
    • In EVM you need to lock down your budget in time and integrate it with your schedule. 
      • This is a real challenge for those new to EVM.
  • Many of the processes and deliverables in the construction industry are similar to those in EVM.   
    • We will respect what you have in place and leverage it.
  • EVM has specific roles that need to be filled. 
    • Some of these may look like simple name changes, but often they are a real shift in a company’s culture.
