project management

London Machine Works provides full-scope project management to take engineering and manufacturing programmes from concept through delivery, commissioning and handover. We act as an integrated extension of your team, setting clear objectives, defining scope boundaries, and building a structured plan that keeps cost, schedule, quality and risk under control.

Our approach covers end-to-end planning and coordination, including resourcing, procurement interfaces, subcontractor management, technical reviews, and stakeholder communications. We develop realistic costings and delivery budgets, supported by transparent assumptions, contingency logic, and change control so you always understand the cost-to-complete and the impact of scope adjustments. Resource planning is handled properly, right skills, right timing, so that design, manufacture, installation and commissioning activities are aligned and not working at cross purposes.

We produce programme baselines, critical path analysis and progress reporting using Microsoft Project for all charting. This includes detailed work breakdown structures (WBS), dependencies, milestones, deliverables, and acceptance criteria. We maintain live schedules with regular updates, tracking progress against baseline and forecast completion dates, while highlighting blockers early and driving corrective actions.

To keep delivery predictable, we implement disciplined governance: risk registers and mitigations, action trackers, quality and document control, and structured meeting cadence (weekly progress, technical gates, and supplier check-ins). Reporting can be tailored to your preference, from concise dashboards to detailed earned-value style tracking, ensuring decisions are made quickly and based on accurate information.

Whether you need a project lead for a complete turnkey package or targeted support to stabilise a programme, we provide practical, engineering-led management that delivers outcomes, on time, on budget, and to specification.
