A well-prepared and maintained programme is vital to successful construction projects. It allows you to understand the forecasted completion date, the planned critical path and the impact of changes or delays.
A programme should be prepared by the contractor and accepted by the employer prior to commencement of any project. As the project progresses, it should be kept updated to record actual progress. Any variations, changes of logic, mitigation or acceleration measures should be recorded along with the impact they have on the completion date.
A well-developed programme and proper planning management on a project allows a party to utilize resources effectively. This in turn will allow you to apply appropriate risk management. You need to understand what resources you have at any given time. This will give you the power to make better informed decisions. Should claims and disputes arise a well-maintained programme will place you in a strong position and support your claims.
Detailed programming using accurate planning techniques and a structured approach is vital to the success of your project.
It is important therefore, to ensure programme is achievable. As you enter into a contract, our experienced consultants work with your teams to provide detailed baseline programmes. You can be sure that these accurately reflect the scope and sequence of the works and your contractual obligations.
You need to be confident that your programmes are free from errors and are realistic. We will help you divide the work into relevant work breakdown structures (WBS), breaking the programme into manageable tasks, phases, deliverables or work packages.
Whether you are an employer, contractor or subcontractor, our programming team can assist with feasibility and tender programmes. Be certain that your programme provides accurate time for the processes and activities including design, procurement and contractor appointment.
It is not enough to develop a realistic and achievable programme. It is important that you continue to monitor planned v. actual progress. Allow us to monitor and track the works against your project milestones, allowing you to be sure that your project stays on track.
All parties involved must understand the progress of the project at all times. Our independent advice will give you a clear picture to present to project stakeholders.
If changes do occur, we will help you keep your master programme up to date, analysing the impact on the critical path. If works deviate from the agreed programme, we can advise you on action to get your project back on the right course.
Programme support will help you keep track of available resources and flag any issues that could impact completion date. At the same time, we will provide you with accurate project records. These records will clearly show the progress of the project at any time during the contract duration.
