With over fifteen years’ experience and an extensive track record in freeway-related and transport infrastructure projects, Johnston PM&C brings substantial technical experience and a sophisticated approach to program discipline, delivery of complex scope, cross-disciplinary communications, cost control and stakeholder management.

They have major civil construction project management experience within freeway, bridge and rail infrastructure projects, with particular focus on the management of large structures and civil earthworks. With experience in delivering iconic projects such as Eastlink, Peninsula Link, Regional Rail Package B, the CityLink Tulla Widening Project and more recently the Western Roads Upgrade, clients can leverage on an aptitude for developing solutions that achieve nominated client objectives and optimal project coordination and design outcomes in a complex brownfield environment. Potential clients can utilise experience in several forms on contract delivery including Design & Construct, Public Private Partnership, Alliance and Construct Only.

Constructability review and elimination of hazards and risk assessment begins from the moment a project is conceived. The construction industry has a poor record with regard to incidents onsite, and through robust Constructability Review many of the hazards can be eliminated or have engineering controls applied to them. The design and planning stage provides a unique opportunity to identify and eliminate potential risks in the construction, fabrication, and installation phase of project delivery, and Johnston Project Management & Consulting place a major focus on this area for every project.

Key to this is construction consultation with clients, stakeholders, design teams and construction delivery personnel to identify risks that can be eliminated and those that will be transferred to delivery teams to manage.

Innovation is always at the forefront of our approach to work. Best practice comes from having ideas that are constantly looking for a better way to operate and continuously improve. The infrastructure market today has some excellent examples of innovative engineering controls that have been implemented to make construction safer, more productive and more sustainable and our approach is always to bring these innovative solutions to the attention of clients, stakeholders and construction teams.

We offer assistance with submission of EOI documentation, cost estimates, cost benefit analysis, procurement strategies, construction tender review, benchmarking, risk and opportunity analysis and cost forecasting discipline. Now more than ever there is a large focus on ensuring project cost forecasts are transparent, accurate from the start and risk adverse. Being responsible for financial outcomes on projects being delivered today allows us to provide relevant, current advice on the real costs of delivering major infrastructure.

The greatest benefits of value engineering occur at project inception. We offer the review of design, construction methods, site limitations, stakeholder concerns, scoping documents and the ability of the market to deliver to solve complex problems and eliminate unnecessary cost.
