The expectation of excellence in the delivery of our services as described in our Core Values and Beliefs is what drives our project management teams. This expectation is what led us to use our 51 years of project history and our long-term employees’ experiences to develop a first-class project management system for the work that we perform. We refer to it as the Newtron Group Control System or NGCS for short. NGCS tracks all project activities such as purchasing, installation, scheduling, delays, and conflicts down to the smallest detail and allows everyone on the project team from field craftspeople to our clients to have access to this critical information at a moment’s notice. NGCS also automatically feeds Primavera schedule activity updates. It provides information in a controlled fashion that focuses the data to the task being performed which makes it easy to understand. Coupled with the experience and training that our long-term employees have using NGCS, our project teams can anticipate issues before they occur. All of this provides our clients with a high-quality management experience and instills confidence that we will deliver consistent and dependable results on all our projects.
