CLIENT FEEDBACK
Client feedback on NEC programmes and P6 reporting
NEC Planning Solutions ran our P6 progress updates and dashboards through to commissioning. Accurate, on time, and it gave our team and the client what they needed. Well supported throughout, so it never added load to us.
“
Charlie Brierton
Project Manager, Studley Engineering
NEC Planning Solutions stepped in at very short notice when we needed support with our programme and quickly turned it into a fully linked, logic-driven critical path programme. From the outset, they took the time to understand the project and worked closely with us to ensure the programme reflected the realities on site. Since then, they've continued to support us through a number of revisions and have played an important role in helping us present and support our extension of time position. What has stood out most is their responsiveness, practical approach, and ability to explain complex planning issues in a straightforward way. They have been a pleasure to work with throughout: professional, knowledgeable, commercially aware, and always willing to go the extra mile when required. Their support has given us confidence in our programme and claims position, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

CASE STUDIES
NEC, JCT and FIDIC case studies
Each case study sets out the contract, the challenge and the outcome.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Where a programme makes or loses money
Four moments decide it.
Win the work
A credible tender programme helps win the bid and becomes a baseline you can deliver.
Protect the margin
Compensation events assessed on the programme, so the entitlement is defensible.
Keep control
A programme kept current every month, so delays show while there is still time to act.
Stand up under audit
A clean evidence trail at acceptance, in assessment and in dispute.
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
