Contract programme
NEC accepted programmes and JCT programmes are structured so the submission matches what the contract asks for.
UNITED KINGDOM
Planning and Scheduling UK
United Kingdom planning and scheduling for construction, infrastructure and digital programmes. We are based in Manchester and support project teams across the country.
United Kingdom
UK programmes need a schedule that matches the contract
Most of the UK work we see is let under NEC or JCT, sometimes with a client scheduling standard on top. The accepted programme, the early warnings and the reporting cycle are part of the job, not an admin task after the Gantt chart is drawn.
EVM Solutions Ltd is based at Colony, 5 Piccadilly Place, Manchester. From there we plan and report on programmes in London, the North, the Midlands, Scotland and the South West. The city pages below describe the markets. The method is the same: a baseline people can accept, updates that show movement, and a critical path that can be explained.
Bank holidays, two-week Christmas shutdowns, possession access and design releases are the usual reasons a UK finish date moves. They belong in the schedule from the start.
On the programme
What we build into a UK baseline
UK calendars
Bank holidays, industry shutdowns and local access rules are calendars, not a hidden allowance.
Early warning logic
When a date moves, the schedule shows the cause well enough to support an early warning or a compensation event.
How we help
Planning support for UK project teams
Planning, scheduling and project controls from a Manchester-based consultancy, deployed to the programme rather than tied to a local office in every city.
Baseline and acceptance
A programme the client can accept, with logic, coding and a narrative that stands up to review.
Monthly updates
Progress, remaining duration and critical-path movement reported on the contract cycle.
Recovery and delay
Re-sequencing when the job is late, and a record of delay when the argument needs one.
