Construction Programming & Advisory
Construction programming. Understand the sequence, test the plan.
We prepare and review construction programmes with the practical sequence of work in mind. Our support helps clients understand dependencies, test assumptions and identify the information and decisions needed to maintain or recover progress.
Who it is for

Common questions
Do you work on specialist trade packages?
Yes. The confirmed experience includes programme support for a specialist drylining contractor.
What records are needed?
The relevant programme versions and available project records. The scope and reliability of any retrospective review depend on the information available, and gaps must be stated.
Will the analysis establish a claim outcome?
No outcome is guaranteed. The work provides a defined programme input to the client's wider assessment.
