Understanding the Importance of Front-End Planning

  • Front-end planning is an essential stage in project development that helps ensure success by defining project objectives, scope, and requirements at its outset.
  • Successful front-end planning applies robust scope definition procedures, constructability analysis, and budget and schedule reviews while identifying potential environmental and regulatory issues.
  • Working with an experienced and knowledgeable EPC contractor can help you achieve your project vision on time and within budget.
  • During the front-end planning phase, critical success factors are identified and a quality management plan is developed to ensure project deliverables adhere strictly to world-class safe industrial practices & quality control standards.
  • By laying a strong foundation for subsequent project phases, comprehensive front-end planning increases the likelihood of project success.
