A
realistic programme agreed at the earliest possible stage will form the
backbone of the project and enable the Project Manager and the whole
team to engage in a common purpose and understanding.
-
The
programme has to be made in conjunction with your builder (see
here also)
-
It must
show each discipline (trade) and how they interact.
-
It must
have clearly defined start dates and follow on trades shown.
-
A
critical path must be clearly defined ie: important dates and stages
to be achieved.
-
It must
highlight delivery dates of specialised products as required.
-
It must
highlight staged completion dates as required.
-
It must
be monitored against progress so that slippage is highlighted at an
early stage.
-
It must
be easily and readily updated to all parties if changes are
required.
I can
prepare such a programme highlighting in detail all or part of the
above. I can either monitor it for you or you can use it as a leverage
tool with your builder as the contract between you should always include
a programme.
