Our Story

Cooper Moss Rutland is a progressive, dynamic and independent consultancy offering tailored Project Controls solutions across a multitude of industries. With a wealth of diverse experience in hand and a clear vision in mind, CMR intends to change the way Project Controls is provided.

The aim of Project Controls is to provide clarity and direction to projects of all sizes, yet we have seen first-hand that poorly executed Project Controls can result in quite the opposite effect. Whether it be the wrong solution to a problem, a lack of formal tools and techniques or disjointed teams pulling in different directions, CMR has been created to address each of these issues, and more.

Decades of practical and varied controls knowledge form CMR’s foundation. We work closely with our clients and make their objectives our passion. We love nothing more than a challenge and truly believe that integrated Project Controls shouldn’t be a dream but a realistic expectation.

Why Us

Good Project Controls should be accessible to projects and companies of all sizes, but assembling a controls team can be a daunting and costly prospect. The right support doesn’t always come in the form of a full-time standing army. CMR envisages an industry more agile in the way we all demand and supply our services.

We work with both small companies and megaprojects and always design the appropriate solution. Our clients’ goals become our own and we can offer a range of tried and tested templates, tools and how-to guides which can be tailored to any project.

Our experience in working on large programmes has taught us what good project controls should look like, while our time spent working with small companies has taught us to prioritise our efforts to best suit their needs. We have transformed the controls capability for a number of small companies, enabling them to focus on their strengths and successfully deliver their projects.

We are lucky to have a great team of specialists with varying levels of experience and skill sets. We put a lot of effort into handpicking energetic and dedicated people to support your projects. Project Controls is all we do.

Leadership

Our leadership team is collectively responsible for setting and delivering our vision and strategy. They use their extensive experience to ensure we are at the forefront of our industry to provide the optimum project controls solutions for our clients.
