The 35-acre Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary project in Barbados. Conceptual and construction design/oversight, project management and ongoing park services provided by Heaslet Corporation. |
Thank you for stopping by. Stuart Heaslet.
Heaslet Corporation is a project management and logistics contractor based near Portland, Oregon.
Incorporated in 1993, the company has completed projects throughout the Western Hemisphere for private organizations, NGO's and government agencies.
Client projects have been an unusual and sometimes eclectic mix, ranging from NGO program development, to large scale construction and furnishings/equipment installations, to media works.
The common denominator? They have all improved the lives of people and their communities.
The obvious challenge in project management is to bring everyone to the common critical path, and ensure that it and budget integrity is never lost.
It's not easy. At times it seems like herding cats.
The key to a successful project isn't just about balancing technical content on a timeline - it's about helping people, assessing processes, solving problems and making good judgments.
Every element, every action has a direct influence and a level of force on the project. The challenge is to manage expert resources, to understand potential consequences to a project as a result of a decision, and to control risks.
And it's about removing ambiguity. Keeping a fully visible project status "white board" accessible to clients, employees, suppliers and contractors. Everyone can see what everyone else is doing. The board can be manual, or online, and it is the critical path showing task/contractor timelines and ticks, shipments, deliveries, inventory and payroll, and even weather forecasts.
Project management is all about adapting quickly to the environment whether urban, or geographically or culturally remote.

Bethune-Cookman College retained Heaslet Corporation to source and develop $1.5 million in government grant funding for construction of energy systems and stage components for the 2500-seat Mary McLeod Bethune Performing Arts Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. The project was done in close cooperation with Bosek-Gibson and Associates, Inc. (a TECO Company) as part of their engineering and energy services subcontract. |
Resilience is essential. Using the right toolsets. Enterprise resource and logistics planning, client-side human resources, organizational processes and theater conditions.
If you have an unusual project in the US, Canada, the Pacific or Latin America valued between US $200,000 and $50 million, and you need an unusually versatile troubleshooter and project manager on your team, then we may be able to help.
In some cases we are open to pro-bono projects. If you have one that will make our world better, please email no more than a 200 word description of the project or objective and we'll get back to you.
Stuart Heaslet.
