The Cost and Scheduling group consists of the Estimation and Planning Manager, Scheduling Engineers and Project Managers.

Computer Software such as SAP, Primavera and MS-Project are utilized for scheduling and time management purposes while Microsoft Access is used to manage documentation. An extensive database of standard construction materials and labor costs is maintained. Updates are made periodically to reflect market trends and provide realistic Cost Analyses.

Scheduling is an important tool in the overall project execution strategy of ARCON. Weekly reports are generated showing planned and actual accomplishments for each project. 'S'-curves showing graphical representations of progress also produced on a weekly basis. These reports are received in regular management meetings to chalk out the strategy and achieve project completion on time - All the time!

Estimation

Since the establishment of (ARCON) Arnaout Company, the Estimation Department has played an essential role in sustaining substantial growth, return on investment and profitability. Commissioned to conduct technical study of projects up for bid and turn them into contracts, the department boasts of its extensive experience in this field, from technical review to pricing projects of complex sizes.

The team, headed by a well-versed manager, has engineers in various disciplines who will study the project drawings and specifications provided during the tender stage, making sure every aspect of the project is clearly identified and considered for accurate pricing. These engineers are supported by Quantity Surveyors who will prepare the required estimates for manpower and equipment and a secretarial pool who will assist in ascertaining prices from local and international suppliers.
