WHO WE ARE
About NEC Planning Solutions
Programmes that win work. Controls that protect margin.
NEC Planning Solutions is a UK planning and project controls consultancy for contractors, specialist subcontractors and asset owners. We run the planning function behind complex projects under NEC, JCT and FIDIC: the programme, the progress that feeds it and the reporting the contract asks for.
We reply to every enquiry within one working day.

WHAT WE DO
Services that follow your contract
A contract tests the programme at four moments: at tender, at the first submission, at every revision and every time the job changes. Our work covers each of them, from specialist subcontracts to NEC packages of more than £50M, across energy, utilities, infrastructure, process and specialist construction.

Postgraduate, Planning and Control
Roman founded NEC Planning Solutions in 2019 and leads its team. He sets the standard every output is measured against and reviews the work before it is issued. He has nine years in contractor-side planning and project controls under NEC, JCT and FIDIC. His work runs from tender programmes and first programmes for acceptance to monthly controls, compensation events and the time side of claims.
A programme that cannot be defended at clarification, used at handover or relied on when change arrives is not finished work.
OUR STANDARD
What gets checked before anything is issued
An NEC Accredited Project Manager reviews every programme, report and assessment before it is issued. Every review covers these four areas.
Logic and critical path
Complete logic with no open ends. Constraints only where the contract sets a date. A critical path that can be defended.
Data date and baseline
Progress applied to the data date, with baseline references kept consistent from one update to the next.
Narrative and programme
The key dates, assumptions and sequence in the narrative match the programme.
The contract
Format and content checked against the contract that applies: NEC3 or NEC4 clauses 31 and 32, JCT or FIDIC.
CLIENTS
What clients say
Their support has given us confidence in our programme and claims position, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Roger Hills
