Approach

Fuss & O’Neill provides much more than engineering and scientific knowledge, proven skills and a comprehensive list of services. Our Project Methodology combines these building blocks to achieve the highest quality outcomes for our clients.

The Four Most Important Elements to Our Approach:

To become an extension of the client team and fully understand the goals and issues that affect the success of the project.

To deliver the right expertise at the right time, thanks to our matrix organization and extensive resources.

To give clients immediate access to the highest level of specialized technical expertise across all disciplines.

To communicate with clients by being available, listening closely to their needs, raising issues before they become problems, encouraging knowledge transfer and responding with thought and creativity.
The Fuss & O’Neill Project Methodology involves:

Dedicated Project Managers
Fuss & O’Neill can tackle a wide range of challenges in an organized, efficient manner through the efforts of project managers who provide a single point of responsibility for the entire process.

Flexible Team Building
Fuss & O’Neill project managers get superior results by taking advantage of the contributions of all team members. Thanks to our matrix organization and extensive resources, we can easily assemble teams that provide the appropriate experience and expertise to best complete assignments.

Proven Tools
Our eighty years of successful project management have produced a number of effective tools that increase efficiency and prevent problems. Our computer-based staff utilization database makes it possible for project managers to efficiently allocate responsibilities. This database – plus our broad array of technical expertise – allows us to commit the right resources at the right times for every project.

Custom Work Plans
We create tailored work plans that coordinate team efforts and place everyone on a single path to achieve project objectives. From our experience, a small amount of time invested in a well designed work plan results in better service in terms of quality, budget and schedule.

Diligent Quality Control
Every project has its own formal QA/QC program, which builds consistency, completeness, constructability, clarity and cost effectiveness into each assignment. Project leaders and third parties conduct formal checklist reviews for nearly every civil and environmental engineering design discipline.

Workshops
Over the years, we have developed a workshop approach that provides a dynamic forum for focusing technical, management and regulatory strategies. These workshops are an excellent opportunity to reach consensus and make quick, informed decisions.
