Precision Delivery Framework (PDFr)
Precision Delivery Framework (PDFr)
We manage consistent project delivery through the use of our Precision Delivery Framework, a structured set of tools and processes developed to ensure right-first-time execution.
Across each phase of the project lifecycle, PDFr applies robust control measures and provides the necessary project management tools to maintain consistency, visibility, and transparency throughout delivery.
A Structured Approach to Delivery
Projects often lose control when disciplines operate in isolation.
Design progresses without alignment to construction.
Procurement becomes disconnected from programme needs.
Delivery shifts from planned to reactive.
Turnover is compressed into the final stages.
The Precision Delivery Framework addresses this by applying structure across the full project lifecycle.
Each stage of delivery is defined, controlled, and aligned ensuring that the project progresses in a consistent and coordinated manner. Functions don’t operate in silos, one complete way of working.
PDFr Strategy
The PDFr Strategy establishes early what success looks like for the project, setting a clear and aligned delivery objective from the outset.
The PDFr Strategy is used to identify gaps across the project, working with the client to highlight where Virtus experience is best suited to support delivery.
Each project is approached on its own merits, with a tailored level of support applied to ensure delivery is structured, controlled, and aligned.
Seven Disciplines
The Precision Delivery Framework is built around seven core disciplines. Each discipline is supported by defined processes, control measures, and tools. Together, they provide a consistent structure for delivery from initiation through to handover.
Project Initiation
Defines the project setup, delivery strategy, and governance structure, ensuring clarity from the outset.
Design Readiness
Ensures design outputs are complete, coordinated, and aligned with construction and delivery requirements.
Procurement
Manages procurement activities in line with programme requirements, ensuring materials, equipment, and vendors are aligned to delivery needs.
Construction Management
Controls site delivery through structured planning, coordination, and monitoring of progress.
Commercial
Provides cost control, forecasting, and management of commercial activities aligned to project progress.
Turnover / CQV
Ensures a structured approach to system completion, testing, and handover, avoiding end-stage compression.
Governance
Maintains oversight through defined reporting structures, communication processes, and control measures across the project.
How PDFr Works
The Precision Delivery Framework is applied throughout the project lifecycle. Each discipline is connected, with information flowing across the project in a controlled manner. Control measures are implemented at each stage, ensuring that:
- Progress is visible
- Risks are identified early
- Decisions are informed and timely
The framework is supported by digital tools and structured meeting routines, enabling consistent management of delivery.
Lets Work Together
The Precision Delivery Framework provides a clear and structured approach to project delivery. It ensures that each stage of the project is aligned, controlled, and supported by the necessary tools and processes. The result is improved consistency, greater transparency, and more reliable project outcomes.
