Execution Control for Complex AEC & EPC Projects
PACE helps electric, gas, water, and other utility organizations plan, execute, and govern capital and operational initiatives with real-time visibility, standardized controls, and AI-enabled insights—improving reliability, compliance, and delivery performance.
The Challenge
Large AEC and EPC projects operate under constant pressure:
- Thousands of activities across engineering, procurement, and construction
- Tight margins and fixed-price or risk-sharing contracts
- Frequent scope changes and evolving site condition
- Disconnected tools for cost, schedule, progress, and finance
Most organizations struggle not because they lack data, but because they lack execution visibility—a single, reliable view of how work, cost, and schedule are performing in real time. PACE was built specifically for these realities.
How PACE Supports AEC & EPC Execution
Real-time visibility into project and operations health
Early detection of cost, schedule, and productivity deviations
Structured project controls and operational workflows
AI-enabled insights for faster decisions
Core Capabilities for AEC & EPC
Integrated Project Controls
- Planned vs. actual tracking across quantities, hours, cost, and schedule
- SOV / BOQ-based progress measurement tied to work items
- Earned Value Management (EVM) powered by live execution data
- Unified visibility across cost, schedule, productivity, and performance
Financial Planning, Tracking & Forecasting
- Budget, commitments, actuals, and forecast in one place
- Forecasts updated as execution data changes
- Visibility into margin erosion and cost-to-complete
Change Management
- Capture changes early from site or engineering
- Estimate cost and schedule impact
- Route for review, approval, and execution
- Maintain full audit trail from identification to closure
Risk Management Across the Lifecycle
- Project-level risk register
- Link risks to cost, schedule, and contingency
- Track mitigation actions and exposure over time
Labor & Resource Demand Planning
- Define labor demand by discipline
- Compare planned vs. available resources
- Identify shortages and over-allocation early
Productivity-Based Execution Control
PACE connects work items, quantities, and labor hours to create a direct line of sight between production and performance.
- Measure progress using SOV / BOQ structures
- Capture actual hours against completed work
- Compare planned vs. actual productivity rates
- Generate early warning signals for schedule and cost deviation
AI-Enabled Execution Intelligence (PACE AI)
PACE AI operates directly on live execution data to help teams:
- Detect emerging cost and schedule deviation
- Generate AI Briefs inside project and portfolio reports
- Automatically produce project status and financial narratives
- Trigger supervised actions such as reforecasting or cost reviews
This is not generic AI. It is execution intelligence built into the delivery system.
