This procedure provides an overview to the way Symmetrical Group manages its projects and the phases it breaks the projects down to. These phases are as follows:

Phase 1 – Scope and Budget/Estimate

Phase 2 – Contract Award

Phase 3 - Launching Project

Phase 4 – Pre-Mobilisation

Each of these phases has its own section in the procedure and describes what should be achieved at completion of each phase.

Ensures the Clients required outcomes are understood, clearly documented and achieved;
