SERVICES
Planning and controls across the project lifecycle
Pre-award through recovery. Each service is scoped to the project and delivered through a controlled planning process, with NEC-accredited governance built into the way outputs are produced.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Four moments where a programme holds up or it does not
Four moments where programmes are tested: Clause 31 acceptance, compensation events, board reporting, and audit.
Win work
Tender programmes and narratives that move past clarification and translate cleanly into a contract baseline.
Protect margin
CE programme impact assessments built so the entitlement is preserved and recoverable under cross-examination.
Deliver with control
Live update cycles, lookaheads and dashboards run to contract standard, every cycle, without drift.
Stand up under audit
An evidence trail that holds up at acceptance, in CE assessment and under contract scrutiny.
Applied in practice across the full lifecycle. Tender, baseline, live reporting, change control and recovery delivered on a £50M+ NEC3 gas infrastructure package, a £20M carbon capture facility, a £10M grain processing shutdown and a £5M chemical processing shutdown. See project case studies ›
WHAT CLIENTS RECEIVE
Real project controls outputs, produced to issue standard
Selected anonymised extracts from live engagements: tender narratives, baseline programmes and reporting dashboards. Full examples reviewed privately during scoping where confidentiality allows.
01 · TENDER
Tender programme narrative
Method, assumptions, milestones and submission logic.
02 · BASELINE
Baseline programme
Logic-linked P6 or MS Project baseline with critical path visibility.
03 · REPORTING
Live reporting dashboard
Progress, S-curves, variance commentary and management reporting.
HOW TO START
Sized to the project
Most engagements start with a programme review or a defined deliverable, then extend into a longer-term cadence. Scope is confirmed in writing before billing.
01
Decision-grade programme review
A confidential review of an existing programme: logic, critical path, baseline status, narrative alignment and contract relevance. Offered at no charge.
WHEN THIS FITS
You want an NEC-accredited diagnostic before submitting, accepting or revising. No obligation to proceed.
02
Project-based engagement
A discrete piece with a defined scope, deliverable and fee: tender programme, Clause 31 submission, CE programme impact, recovery plan.
WHEN THIS FITS
A specific output is needed by a specific date, with no ongoing commitment.
03
Live controls retainer
An agreed monthly cadence of programme updates, lookaheads, narrative reports and a tailor-made project dashboard, delivered to a fixed period schedule.
WHEN THIS FITS
The project needs continuity of planning and reporting through delivery, without an in-house hire.
04
Multi-project partnership
Governed planning capacity supporting the client's project environment over a longer engagement, with consistent reporting standards across projects.
WHEN THIS FITS
Framework or programme-portfolio clients needing predictable planning capacity at scale.
WHY TEAMS CHOOSE US
A boutique consultancy built to deliver at scale
Three reasons clients move from an initial review to a partnership engagement: specialist delivery, scalable capacity, and transparent commercial terms.
Specialist-led delivery
Work is planned, produced and controlled by project planning specialists, with NEC-accredited governance built into the delivery process rather than added as a final check.
Scalable delivery model
Capacity scales from a single Clause 31 submission to a multi-project framework, while keeping the same planning standards, reporting discipline and commercial control.
Transparent commercial terms
Scope, deliverables and fee basis confirmed in writing before work begins. Any minimum period or retained support requirement is agreed upfront.
SOCIAL VALUE PILOT PARTNERSHIP
Planning capacity and audit-ready Social Value in one pilot
A 12-week pilot that adds planning capacity to a live project and produces audit-ready Social Value evidence aligned to PPN 002, Outcome 6a and the minimum 10% Social Value weighting for in-scope procurements. Built for contractors and asset owners who need measurable jobs-and-skills commitments delivered through the project, not alongside it.
