Your project, under control.

People. Processes. Tools.

Training, project controls and software — one partner from plan to delivery. We train your team, run your project's controls and give you real-time visibility of cost and schedule.

Three marble columns — the three pillars of Kionas

Three pillars. One partner.

Training · Project Management · Software
01

Your team learns how to deliver projects on time and on budget — workshops on real case studies, certified and subsidised.

Our approach

Knowledge becomes application, application becomes system — until excellence becomes your whole team’s way of working.

We do not hand you a report and leave. We work beside your team, embed the discipline, and stay beside you — project after project.

Our approach
Pillar 01 · Corporate Training

We train your team to deliver projects on time and on budget.

Not theory — the mindset that delivers projects: control, priorities, ownership. Workshops on real case studies, built on the standards of internationally recognised institutes. Certified and subsidised.

Certified Subsidised New programmes added regularly

What we train

Two tracks: the tools that keep a project under control, and the people who deliver it.

01

Project Management

The full project lifecycle: scope, WBS, roles and disciplined delivery from start to handover.

02

Planning & Scheduling

The critical path, a baseline you can defend and look-ahead plans the team actually follows.

03

Cost Control & EVM

Earned Value Management in practice: CPI, SPI and EAC in real time.

04

Risk Management

Spotting risk early: a living risk register, response plans and sensible contingency.

05

Contracts, Variations & Claims

Documenting change as it happens and building claim files that stand up.

06

Reporting & Operational Systems

KPI dashboards management reads in five minutes, SOPs and Root Cause Analysis.

“Projects rarely fail on the spreadsheet. They fail in the meeting room.”

01

Leadership & Ownership

Leading project teams and taking ownership of results — the drivers of leadership success.

02

Communication under Pressure

Clear briefings when it matters: the SBAR framework and difficult meetings.

03

Negotiation & Stakeholders

Aligning clients, contractors and management — and reaching agreements that hold.

04

Conflict & Difficult Conversations

Turning friction into decisions: handling conflict before it costs the project.

05

Decision-making & Priorities

Deciding with incomplete information and protecting time for what moves the project.

06

Teamwork & Feedback

Building a team that gives and takes feedback — and gets stronger project after project.

These are some of our programmes — not all of them.Ask us for the full catalogue →

Tailored programmes

Your team, your programme.

Not every team needs the same training. We sit down with you, understand where your people stand, and build the programme together.

01 · Analyse together

We map your team’s needs with you, through a dedicated needs-assessment questionnaire.

02 · Design together

From the findings, we shape the programme with you: topics, depth, format and schedule.

03 · Deliver & follow up

We train on your real projects and stay beside your team as it grows.

Flagship programme

High-Performance Execution

Our signature programme — turning knowledge into execution that holds — and a team that grows stronger with every project.

01

Project Cost Control & Schedule Management

Cost and schedule under control in real time.

02

Leadership & Communication

Leading project teams — even under pressure.

03

Operational Discipline & Systems

Systems and routines that make performance stick.

Who it is for

Everyone involved in delivering projects — project managers, site teams and supervisors, engineers, and executives in project-driven organisations.

How it is taught

No lecture-hall theory: workshops on real case studies, role plays, a working EVM tool and SOP/KPI templates you take back to your project office.

Why it sticks

Most training is forgotten in a week. Ours leaves the room as templates, tools and routines your team uses the next morning.

We assess, train on your real projects, then embed the way of working — so the improvement holds long after we leave.

Pillar 02 · Project Management

You build it. We keep it under control.

We take on the management and control of your project — as a project management team, not as software.

What a managed PMO covers

Four phases · one team
01

Set the baseline

Budget, schedule and roles fixed from the start — the baseline everything is measured against for the rest of the project.

02

Drive delivery

Day-to-day coordination that keeps the team moving against the plan — work happens on schedule, not around it.

03

Stay in control

Measure, report, correct: weekly EVM and board-ready reporting catch problems before they escalate — the same numbers everyone can trust.

04

Close clean

Final accounts, documented claims and a clean handover — every change recorded along the way, so the file stands up and protects your position.

Step 1 · Review

We study your project's documents, contracts and current status.

Step 2 · Set up

Budget, schedule and controls in place within the first weeks.

Step 3 · Run

Weekly control, clear reports, decisions backed by data.

Managed PMO

Your project office, run by our team — planning, monitoring and reporting handled end to end. The decisions stay yours; the structure, the discipline and a partner at your side are ours.

Pillar 03 · Project Management Software

Nothing slips. Cost, time and progress — tracked daily.

The site, the money and the time of your project — on one screen. Every role connected; everyone sees only what concerns them.

Progress

▲ 3% vs last month
Cost · CPI

+4 days vs target

Open the app and you know exactly where you stand — in ten seconds, without asking anyone.

2 minutes a day. The rest happens on its own.

Your engineer fills in the daily report from a phone, on site. That is all — everything downstream follows automatically.

1

Daily report

Weather · who worked · what happened · photos. Works with no signal too.

2

Quantities fill themselves

Work logged flows into quantities. One source of truth — not three different numbers.

3

Certification suggests the %

"Fill from the log" and the payment order comes out with VAT — a finished PDF.

4

The dashboard updates

Progress, cost, schedule and forecast — without touching anything else.

Your engineer already keeps a site diary — now the diary works for you.

Where the profit is decided

Your money, under control

Cost control

What you estimated vs what you pay, per work item. Snap an invoice with your phone — no more lost paperwork.

Subcontractors

What they billed, what you approved, what you paid, what you retain — and what your own clients owe you.

Variations

Every on-site change becomes a charge — with cost and days attached. None of them slips through.

Claim file

Delays, variations and extensions in one PDF that stands up. This is what actually gets paid.

The claim file is built from data you already record every day — you do nothing extra.

Built to be trusted

Every role, connected

Developer, contractor, subcontractor, consultant and buyer — the whole project chain in one system. A client portal opens with a single link, so the "where are we?" calls stop.

Always the latest drawing

New revision, notification, "seen it." No more work carried out against an out-of-date drawing.

Works with no signal

On site you write as normal. The moment it finds internet, everything uploads on its own. Data hosted in Europe (GDPR).

History & restore

We keep recent versions of the project. If someone breaks something, you roll back in two clicks — with guardrails against mistakes.

Built for every role

One platform, four points of view

Built around real projects. Designed for any industry.

Careers

We hire for discipline. We train for excellence.

Kionas is built by people who treat execution as a craft. Each year we select a number of project managers — people with the discipline to deliver and the vision to lead — and we invest in their development until they can run any project, anywhere.

What we offer

Structured development

A clear path from certification to leadership, backed by international standards and mentoring from senior project managers.

Real responsibility, early

Real projects and real decisions from your first months — with an experienced team beside you, never thrown in alone.

Work that travels

Projects across sectors and borders. The discipline you build here runs any project, anywhere.

A small team with a high bar

We stay deliberately selective — so every person matters, and good work is seen.

Stone column bases in evening light

Careers are built like columns — one disciplined layer at a time.

Step 3 · Grow

Onboarding, mentoring and your first real project — from day one.

How we work

A method, not a promise.

We bring the same discipline to every project: we train your team, run your controls and put it all on one screen. One at a time, or all together.

People

The team that executes — trained, certified and accountable for the result.

Processes

The discipline that holds — baselines, controls and a weekly rhythm that catches problems early.

Tools

The system that keeps it honest — one screen where cost, time and progress are always current.

The way we work

Four steps, every engagement

01

Understand

Inside your project, beside your team — not from a distance.

02

Set the standard

One plan, agreed with you. Everyone measures against it.

03

Run & control

A steady weekly rhythm. No surprises — you always know where you stand.

04

Embed & grow together

The way of working stays with your team. So do we.

Growing together

Your team gets better with every project. And we’re beside them for every one.

We train your people on the job, on your real projects — and we keep going. Project after project we stay beside them: coaching, sharpening and raising the bar, until delivering at the highest level is simply how your team works.

FAQ

Questions we hear often

Our project has already started — is it too late?

No. Most engagements begin mid-project. The first step is a quick assessment of where the project truly stands — and we take it from there.

Will you replace our team?

No. We work beside your team and make it stronger — the decisions stay yours, and the way of working stays with your people.

How soon will we see results?

A clear picture of cost and schedule within the first 2–4 weeks. The discipline that keeps it that way is built over the first months.

Do we need all three — training, project management and the software?

No. Each stands on its own. Most clients start where it hurts most and add the rest when it makes sense.

Do you only work in Cyprus?

No — wherever your project is. Controls and reporting run just as well remotely.

"We don't hand you a report and leave. We work beside your team — project after project."
