Logistics windows
Vehicle slots and hoist time are resources. If they are missing, the trade durations are fiction.
LONDON
Planning and Scheduling in London
London programmes are constrained by logistics, neighbours and a long list of parties who can stop the job. The schedule has to name those constraints.
London
Planning in a city where access is the scarce resource
Central London sites lose time to delivery slots, hoarding lines, crane oversailing and neighbours who control the hours of noisy work. A schedule copied from a business-park job will show float that the street does not allow.
We plan commercial offices, life sciences, data centres around the west London and Slough corridor, and infrastructure that threads through live assets. Sectional completion is common: a landlord hands floors while the rest of the building is still a site. That split needs its own commissioning path.
Reporting is usually monthly, often to a fund or a developer as well as the contractor. We keep one schedule and code it so each audience can filter.
On the programme
What has to be got right
Neighbours and assets
Rail, underground and adjoining owners impose notice and access rules that sit on the critical path.
Floor-by-floor completion
Partial occupation means inspections, snagging and services commissioning repeat by zone.
How we help
How EVM Solutions supports the team
Planning, scheduling and project controls from a Manchester-based consultancy, deployed to the programme rather than tied to a local office in every city.
Logistics-aware baselines
Schedules that include delivery, crane and access constraints from the first issue.
Interface control
Milestones for third parties, with durations for their notice periods.
Funder reporting
A monthly picture a developer or fund can read without opening P6.

Questions we are often asked
Do you have a London office?
No. We are based in Manchester and work on London programmes with the project team.
Can you plan a data centre west of London as well as a central office?
Yes. The data-centre page covers the sector logic. This page covers the London constraints around access, labour and interfaces.
Will you attend site?
Yes, when the programme needs it. Remote updates are used between visits, on the same schedule file.
