Programming/Scheduling

BPM Professional Services understand that completion by the planned target date can be threatened by a number of potential problems. Unless the project team has made some allowance for these problems in the baseline program and is vigilant in the monitoring of progress, irrecoverable delays can occur. Problems are often compounded when the project must be constructed within an operating environment.

BPM Professional Services provide the following programming and scheduling solutions:

• High-level project planning and programming
• Detailed construction programming and resourcing
• Independent program reviews
• Monthly program reports
• Project forecast-to-complete assessments
• Program risk assessments
• Extension of time analysis
• Program analysis for the purpose of supporting and defending claims
• Expert programming reports in arbitration, mediation and court
  proceedings

BPM Professional Services can provide solutions to meet clients' specific needs. Our team produce, effective and practical programs supported by a databank of planning information including design times, delivery lead times, construction methods, labour productivity and resource levels. We also provide close monitoring against the baseline program, allowing delays to be identified early so that remedial action can be taken.

BPM Professional Services monthly reporting approach provides:

• A status of key activities (both off-site and on-site)
• A list of activities that have slipped
• Analysis of the reasons for slippages and their effect
• Recommendations on ways in which the slippage can be recovered
• Listing of 'critical path' activities
• Trend graphs
• Forecasts on likely completion dates

BPM Professional Services staff use a wide range of industry standard programming tools for these programmes.
