Who it is for
Is this the right support for you?
- Clients who need to know when they can realistically move in or let
- Contractors needing tender or construction programmes
- Projects with tight dates, phased occupation or long-lead items
- Live projects where the programme has slipped
Problems it helps avoid
- Programmes that leave out design, approvals and procurement time
- Long-lead items ordered too late
- Trades clashing because sequencing was not thought through
- No clear view of progress against plan
What you receive
Clear, practical deliverables.
James leads programme and sequencing work, drawing on hands-on construction delivery experience.
- Outline or detailed programme
- Key dates, dependencies and long-lead items identified
- Sequencing and phasing proposals
- Progress updates and recovery options where the programme slips

Common questions
Which software do you use?
We produce programmes in a format suited to the project and the people who need to use them, and can share clear PDF versions for clients.
Can you help recover a delayed programme?
We can review the current position, identify what is driving delay and set out practical recovery options. Recovery always depends on the parties delivering the work.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Aldershot and work across Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire, including Farnham, Farnborough, Fleet, Camberley, Guildford, Woking, Basingstoke and Godalming. For projects further afield, ask and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
