Planning & scheduling
A programme the project is actually run from — and one you can defend when the questions come.
A good schedule is a management tool and, when things go wrong, evidence. We build and review baseline programmes in Primavera P6 or MS Project, keep them updated every cycle and produce recovery programmes that show what it takes to finish on time. Programmes are logic-driven, resource- and cost-loaded where needed, tied to the contract milestones and linked to progress measurement.
Who it is for
- Contractors who must submit a baseline or revised programme to the engineer or client
- Owners and PMOs who need an independent review of a contractor's schedule
- Projects that have slipped and need a credible recovery programme
What you get
- A baseline programme with WBS, logic, resources and a programme narrative
- A schedule-quality check with a scored list of issues
- Monthly updates with variance explanations
- A recovery programme with options, cost and resource impact
How it works
- Understand the scope
WBS, contract milestones, calendars, constraints and the execution strategy agreed with the project team.
- Build the baseline
Logic-linked activities, durations from productivity data, resources and costs; critical path and float checked.
- Review and update
Monthly updates with progress, forecast dates and a narrative that explains the changes; schedule-health checks on logic, constraints and float.
- Recover and look ahead
Recovery options with their cost and resource impact; short-term look-aheads the site crews commit to.

Questions we get
Which tools do you use?
Primavera P6 and MS Project mainly, with Excel and Power BI for reporting. We hand over native files that you own.
Can you review a contractor's programme?
Yes — an independent schedule review of logic, durations, resources, critical path and compliance with the contract requirements. You get a scored report and a list of comments to return.
How is this different from the PMO service?
Planning is the technical build and upkeep of the programme. The PMO service sets up the governance, reporting and decision-making around it. Many clients take both.
