Construction Programmes
A programme is the plan everyone signs up to. We build logic-linked programmes from enabling works to handover, show the real critical path, and keep them current as the job moves.

What you receive
Native Asta Powerproject or Microsoft Project files, PDF Gantt charts with the critical path marked, and a short narrative setting out the key assumptions, sequence and risks.
Turnaround
Tender programmes typically within a week of receiving drawings and scope.
From brief to approved document.
Brief
Send drawings, the planning decision notice and the condition wording. We confirm scope, fee and timescale in writing within one working day.
Draft
We prepare the programme, plan or drawings and flag the assumptions and risks we have made.
Review
We walk you through it, take comments from your team and revise.
Issue
You receive final native files and PDFs. For CMPs we stay on through council comments until the condition is discharged.
Frequently asked
Which software do you use?
We work in Asta Powerproject and Microsoft Project, and can export to PDF and Excel. If your team or client needs a particular format, tell us at the start.
How long does a programme take to produce?
A tender programme for a typical low-rise scheme usually takes a few days once we have the drawings and scope. Larger or phased schemes take longer, and we agree the timescale when we quote.
Can you review a contractor's programme?
Yes. We check logic, durations, float and the critical path, then report what is realistic and where the risks sit.

How the Building Safety Regulator has changed construction planning
Higher-risk buildings now have hard regulatory hold points before work starts, during construction and before occupation. Here is what that means for programmes, logistics and PEPs.
