Programming & Planning

Successful project management and delivery is built on detailed programme programming and planning.

There is no alternative to planning, planning and planning. Establishing a robust and achievable construction programme is the basis for all site work, and the more complex the project, the more important the programme becomes

What is Programme Management?

Programme Management in NZ is the method of preparing for a major project by analysing a project’s drawings and specifications and working out the most effective way to deliver the outcome based on resource requirements and construction sequencing.

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’.

When implemented well by experienced practitioners and controlled in conjunction with the right construction management software, programme management is a powerful tool. The benefits of Programme Management include:

  • Ability to impact scheduling pre-construction

  • Pro-active project teams

  • Early identification of risks and establishment of contingencies

  • Highly objective project reporting
