[Audio] The projects control department manages the project's cost to ensure it remains within the allocated budget. Monitoring and controlling expenses, identifying deviations from the plan, and making necessary adjustments are part of this responsibility. Regular reporting on financial performance, including budget versus actual spend, is provided by the department. Stakeholders are kept informed of any changes or issues..
[Audio] Project control is a vital component of project management, ensuring that projects stay on track, within budget, and meet their objectives. The initiation phase defines performance standards, including establishing project objectives, scope, and success criteria. This involves creating a project charter and identifying key stakeholders. In the planning phase, detailed plans are developed outlining tasks, timelines, resources, and budgets. Risk management planning, resource allocation, and communication channel setup are also critical aspects of this phase. During execution, the project plan is implemented, resources managed, and tasks completed on schedule. Continuous communication and collaboration are essential to address issues and adapt to changes. The monitoring and controlling phase tracks project performance against the baseline, identifies deviations, and determines their causes. Corrective actions are then taken to keep the project on track. Finally, the closure phase ensures all project deliverables are complete and meet quality standards, with a final review conducted to document lessons learned and close out the project. By applying these controls at each phase, project managers can successfully manage time, cost, scope, quality, risk, and resources, leading to successful project delivery..
[Audio] Our projects control department is led by our experienced projects control manager, Hussien Noor El Deen.

[Audio] The Projects Control Department plays a key role in ensuring the success of our projects by reviewing and validating the cost sheet report to ensure accuracy and consistency. The department prepares budget reports to monitor the financial aspects of each project, creates projects on the ERP system to streamline project management processes, monitors and tracks the financial status of projects with a focus on cost and earned value reports, tracks variation orders to ensure timely and accurate changes to project scope and costs, generates cash flow reports to ensure proper cash management throughout the project, identifies and supports escalation claims to mitigate potential conflicts and ensure fair compensation, and prepares forecasts and estimates to complete closing projects providing valuable insights for future projects..
[Audio] The project initiation and control cycle commences with the signed contract or purchase order, accompanied by a final cost sheet, marking the beginning of our involvement in managing the project's finances. We subsequently validate and create the budget cost, ensuring its accuracy and completeness. Next, we submit this information for approval, followed by re-cost estimation to guarantee the new gross profit margin equals or surpasses the approved gross profit margin. Furthermore, our team generates ETC and earned value reports to monitor the project's financial performance. Lastly, we create the project on the ERP system, allowing for effortless monitoring, tracking, and controlling of project finances..
[Audio] The process starts by identifying the resources needed to complete the project, which includes people, equipment, and materials. This involves determining the necessary personnel, their roles, and the quantity of each resource required. Next, an approximation of the overall cost of these resources is developed, taking into account factors like labor rates, equipment costs, and material prices. This estimate serves as a foundation for the project's financial plan. With this information, the total cost of the project can then be estimated, considering all the resources needed to deliver it successfully..
[Audio] The budget summary outlines the project's financial plan, detailing various cost categories and their corresponding percentages. The total dry cost subtotal amounts to EGP 59,750000, which accounts for 100% of the project's total cost. The gross profit stands at EGP 12,750000, representing 15.94% of the total cost. The net profit is calculated to be EGP 8,750000, equivalent to 10.94% of the total cost.
