Infra & Construction | Perfact Group — Project Management and Lean Construction

Q: How does Perfact INFRA manage complex infrastructure projects?

Complex infrastructure projects are characterised by a high degree of interdependence between parties, strict safety and quality requirements, and constant pressure on schedules and budgets. Perfact INFRA manages this complexity through a structured project management approach: clear scope definition and change management, detailed planning in Primavera P6, weekly progress reports with earned value analysis, and active risk management. Our project managers are experienced in working within construction consortia and public tendering processes — from PPP schemes to Design & Build contracts.

Q: What is Perfact doing to make infrastructure more sustainable?

Making infrastructure more sustainable is an increasingly important task for network operators, water authorities and public sector clients. Perfact INFRA provides support with the project management of sustainability projects: installing charging infrastructure, upgrading the electricity grid for the energy transition, insulating tunnels and bridges, and implementing circular construction methods. We bring the planning and project management expertise required to deliver these projects on time and within budget, and combine this with Lean methods to minimise waste in the construction process.

Q: How does Perfact apply Lean principles to the construction sector?

Lean Construction is the application of Lean principles to construction processes. Research shows that in traditional construction projects, 25–35% of working time is lost to waiting, searching, rectifying issues and unnecessary movements. Perfact applies the Last Planner System, pull planning and daily stand-ups to improve the flow of the construction process. The result: fewer delays, greater predictability in planning and less remedial work. We apply Lean Construction to both new-build and renovation and maintenance projects in the infrastructure sector.

Infrastructure projects require meticulous planning, risk management and technical expertise. Through Perfact INFRA, we support clients in the construction and infrastructure sectors throughout the entire project lifecycle — from the initial phase through to completion.

With a proven track record in major infrastructure projects across the Benelux, including the Oosterweel link in Antwerp, we know what it takes to manage complex infrastructure projects.

Perfact INFRA — technical specialists ready to work immediately

Perfact INFRA is Perfact’s specialist division for infrastructure and construction. We provide project managers, planners, cost engineers, work planners and site managers who are ready to work immediately in the most complex project environments.
Our strength: applying Lean principles to construction processes. In the construction sector, up to 30% of working time is lost to inefficiencies — waiting, searching, and rectifying issues. Lean brings structure to this, without compromising the flexibility that every construction project requires.

Common challenges in this sector

The project is running over time and budget due to poor planning management

Cost overruns have become almost the norm in the infrastructure sector, even though they are avoidable. Most common causes: scope changes not adequately documented, critical paths not updated on a daily basis, and a shortage of planners with Primavera P6 experience who can translate the realities of the construction site into a workable plan.

A tight labour market leads to capacity shortages at critical moments

Technical project managers, planners, cost engineers and site managers are in short supply. Infrastructure projects are falling behind schedule because the right people are not available when they are needed. Staffing is the quickest and most flexible solution.

Sustainability projects require expertise that is not available in-house

Making infrastructure more sustainable — grid expansion, charging infrastructure, energy-neutral renovations — requires specific expertise that many clients have not developed in-house. External support from specialists who know the sector is the quickest way to achieve results.

Traditional construction processes are inefficient, but change is difficult

In the construction sector, up to 30% of working hours are lost due to waste. Lean offers proven methods for reducing this, but the culture within the construction industry makes implementation challenging — most contractors remain sceptical until they see the results for themselves.
