Planning support for
specialist contractors
- without a full-time planner
Need a credible programme, monthly updates or NEC compensation event support — without the cost and overhead of an in-house planning function? We work with civil, M&E, fit-out, industrial and specialist subcontractors who need proper planning delivered around their project — not a generic service bolted on top.
-
Support from £750/month — see full pricing
Programme review is free and carries no obligation to proceed.
01
Contract-aware from day one
Programmes built for NEC3, NEC4, JCT and framework requirements from the start — not adapted after the fact. Clause 31/32 compliance, format alignment and sequencing structured correctly from day one.
02
You manage the project.
We handle the programme.
A short progress call or a simple update list is enough to run a monthly cycle. We handle the programme mechanics, logic checks and reporting — you stay focused on site, not on planning software.
03
Scope confirmed before billing
Outputs, fee and timeline confirmed in writing before work begins — so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs. Scale up or down as the project requires. No long-term commitment needed to start.

NEC CHANGE
Compensation event impact programmes
Under NEC, without a current accepted programme the PM can assess CEs instead of you - and that assessment stands.
Impact programmes built against the accepted baseline keep time assessments with you. Re-sequencing and time effects are shown clearly, not asserted.
