Pre Construction Planning

Overview

Plan Ahead provides effective support to developers and project owners in the early stages of a project.

We establish a robust timeline for the project lifecycle's key stages and develop a recommended construction plan to recognise key interfaces, third-party engagement and the defined timeline for the construction process.

All these actions enable the project owner to be far better informed and prepared before they engage further with the project delivery team.

The Detail

"Plan Ahead defines a programme management plan to control how clients want to manage their project timeline and what systems/processes they want to adopt based on the proposed contract and the level of control required.
For a project to be controlled and managed effectively, it is essential that this is established from the outset and communicated effectively."
Plan Ahead provides the relevant templates for submission documents that will support the strategic management plan.
Clients providing this level of clarity to potential contractors at such an early stage enables all parties to be aware of each other's expectations and achieve them from the start.
Plan Ahead assists clients in defining the level of assurance they want to apply to the programme during the contract in support of the strategic management plan.
A robust programme assurance process can effectively maintain a controlled and aligned timeline and commercial position with any contracted parties.
The development of high-level phasing plans to complement an indicative construction programme is beneficial to enable early engagement with third parties/stakeholders.
Plan Ahead can assist clients with defining the level of cost and resource planning that aligns with the commercial contracts to be adopted.
The correct level of information, allocated accurately by contracted parties, can be used effectively to understand impacts and entitlement that may be due. However, this needs to be defined early before contractual terms are agreed upon.
