Progress & Performance

Using consistent, quantifiable, and defendable progress and performance measures provides confidence in knowing what has been completed on a project and what amount of resources has been expended for this accomplishment. Without accurate progress measurement, it is difficult to be certain what is and isn’t completed. This leads to ambiguous cost and schedule statuses, and diminished forecasting abilities. Reliable progress and performance measures promote accurate analysis vis-à-vis planned and actual values, help identify remaining work, and stimulate accurate forecasting and decision-making for a project.

What Our Clients Say

"I had the privilege of working with the owner of High West on a multi-billion dollar project on the North Slope of Alaska. I really appreciated the systematic methods and tools he developed to bring clarity and insight to our cost tracking efforts. The quality of work was outstanding. In addition, the way in which the information and insight was presented on a regular basis allowed us to dramatically improve our cost certainty on a challenging megaproject. He was a great partner and never hesitated to spend time with our engineers and contractors to improve the performance of the wider Project team. Zac is one of the most talented individuals I’ve worked with in this area, and has my strongest recommendation."

Brian Spears Business Manager

"I worked with Zac on many projects - from proposal work to detailed engineering. He brings a no-nonsense approach to project delivery. He is a great problem solver and excellent at explaining complex issues in simple terms that project teams and clients can understand. He can speak to all levels of employees from new hires to upper management. Working with Zac has taught me a lot of what I know today. He is great at what he does and passionate about his work."

Paul Simoni Project Controls Manager

"Zac Davis brings a strong command of project controls, professional maturity, and common sense to support project delivery within competitive estimate and schedule industry benchmarks. I've worked with Zac for a span of over 15 years on multiple projects in multiple heavy industry settings. As Zac's client on a billion dollar plus schedule driven oil & gas project, myself and my senior leadership (top 5 super major oil & gas company) were impressed by Zac's cost controls skill set. He maintained command of the detail yet was able to articulate the key message to our senior team on a monthly basis allowing us to make informed decisions improving delivery. I know Zac's work ethic and his commitment to providing objective analysis in time to have a positive influence on project completion will prove invaluable to your project."

Max Hammond Project Services Manager

"It is my pleasure to recommend High West under the leadership of Zac Davis. I met Zac while working as the Contract-Accountable Manager for our company, on a multi-billion dollar remote arctic gas development project in Alaska. As part of the client’s project management team, Zac worked directly with us to integrate our company systems with the project’s overall controls and reporting systems. Zac very much contributed to our success on this project, and I found him to be very professional, accomplished, forthright, knowledgeable, and intelligent, while also having the highest integrity, being reasonable, and easy to work with. Under his leadership, Zac helped our team set up, simplify, and implement robust project management systems; including, but not limited to, cost controls, tracking, forecasting, budgeting and reporting. High West has my endorsement for any comprehensive project management system’s needs."
