There is no alternative to planning, planning, and planning. The programme should be used as a tool to help plan activities, monitor progress, and identify where additional resources may be required, then re-assess the schedule very frequently to ensure proactiveness.

Establishing a construction programme is not a one-person job, it is a collaborative team effort that results in a plan that has the team’s ‘buy-in’. Having a good quality construction programme (regardless of which software it is built in) means that the team have spent decent time reading and understanding the drawings and specifications. It also means that the team have put careful thoughts about resource requirements and sequencing.

Construction programme is a tool that helps the team to be pro-active by looking ahead to identify risks and opportunities and put action plans in place. An excellent and robust programme can be used as a Reporting Tool that keeps stakeholders up to date on the project’s progress.

Our programme experience is extraordinary in its skill and experience. We have the most powerful software, Primavera P6 which is used internationally as the planning software of choice by huge multinational organisations. We can tailor our services offering full planning and programming plus management during the life of the project or, assist your teams to develop and manage their own programs.

We believe that the P in PM is as much about ‘people management’ as it is about ‘project management’. That’s why we take time to understand you and your business and plan our project management services to focus on your vision and objectives.

Effective cost management and quantity surveying starts at the project inception stage and works through the lifecycle of a project.

Determining a budget for a construction project is no small feat and requires an experienced quantity survey and cost manager. It’s their job to assess every aspect of a project, from materials and labour, to equipment, subcontractors, permits, and more. From there, they need to provide a reliable cost report that can be measured against and updated as a project progress.
