Frequently Asked Questions

We provide a full range of project and programme management services, including project planning, project controls, programme management, programme recovery, delay analysis, and schedule assurance. We work primarily with organisations in the construction and infrastructure sectors across the UK.

Project planning involves developing the schedule, resource plan, and delivery strategy for a project. Project controls is the broader discipline that includes planning but also encompasses cost management, risk monitoring, progress reporting, and earned value analysis. Together, they provide the framework for managing and controlling project delivery.

Our programme recovery service is designed specifically for projects that are experiencing serious delays or performance issues. We conduct a rapid diagnostic assessment, identify the root causes of underperformance, and implement a structured recovery plan to restore control, improve performance, and rebuild stakeholder confidence. Our team has extensive experience in turning around distressed projects across a wide range of sectors.

Delay analysis is a forensic assessment of project delays used to identify causes, quantify impacts, and apportion responsibility. It is typically required in contractual disputes, claims, or adjudications. Our delay analysis experts apply recognised methodologies (such as Time Impact Analysis, Windows Analysis, and As-Planned vs As-Built) to produce robust, defensible analysis that can be relied upon in formal proceedings.

Yes. Our schedule assurance service provides independent, expert review of project programmes to assess whether they are realistic, compliant, and fit for purpose. We check logic, critical path analysis, float allocation, resource loading, and compliance with contract requirements. This helps identify weaknesses early, before they result in costly delays or disputes.

We specialise in the construction and infrastructure sectors, including roads, rail, utilities, energy, commercial buildings, and public sector capital programmes. Our team has delivered services across a wide variety of project types, from major infrastructure programmes to smaller specialist construction projects.

Our fees are typically structured on a time and materials basis, with clear hourly or daily rates for our specialist personnel. For larger or longer-term engagements, we can also work on a fixed-price or retainer basis. We always provide transparent pricing and will agree the commercial terms with you before commencing any work.

While we are based in the UK and the majority of our work is on UK-based projects, we have experience supporting international projects and can mobilise our team to work overseas where required. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

Our team is proficient in all major project planning and controls software, including Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Asta Powerproject, and various earned value management systems. We also have expertise in risk analysis tools and can integrate with your existing project management systems.

We understand that project needs can be urgent, particularly in recovery situations. We aim to mobilise resources within 5-10 working days of an agreed scope and commercial terms, and in critical situations we can often respond faster. Please contact us to discuss your timescales.
