Programme certainty

Primavera P6 planning & project controls

Integrated planning and project controls that reflect real engineering dependencies from construction through commissioning and handover.

Why it matters

A programme must represent how the work will actually be delivered.

Schedules lose value when they become reporting documents rather than management tools. Engineering interfaces, access, temporary services, documentation and witness requirements must all be visible.

Neo builds and reviews programmes around system readiness, measurable evidence and practical commissioning logic.

01Define clear requirements and acceptance criteria
02Verify progress using objective engineering evidence
03Control risk before it affects programme or operation
Neo methodology

A structured route from requirement to acceptance.

Each assignment is adapted to the project while retaining consistent governance, evidence and reporting standards.

01

Define

Establish scope, milestones, interfaces, calendars and contractual requirements.

02

Build

Develop a logically linked P6 programme with realistic durations and dependencies.

03

Measure

Apply clear progress rules, update cycles and evidence-based status reporting.

04

Recover

Analyse delay, test alternatives and issue focused mitigation or recovery plans.

Scope of support

Practical engineering support.

  • Primavera P6 baseline and detailed programme development
  • Commissioning, L0–L5 and integrated test schedules
  • Critical path, total float and schedule health analysis
  • Look-ahead planning and system turnover sequencing
  • Resource, access, temporary service and interface planning
  • Progress updates, delay analysis and recovery programming
Typical deliverables

Controlled outputs.

  • P6 baseline, commissioning and recovery programmes
  • Milestone schedules and system turnover matrices
  • Schedule narratives and critical path reports
  • Two-, four- and six-week look-ahead plans
  • Progress dashboards and executive reports
  • Risk, interface and action trackers
Client outcomes

Engineering work that improves project certainty.

Visible dependencies

Make engineering and commissioning prerequisites explicit before they affect milestones.

Defensible progress

Use agreed measurement rules and supporting evidence rather than subjective percentages.

Earlier intervention

Identify negative float, interface pressure and incomplete readiness before critical dates are lost.

Focused recovery

Direct resources toward the activities that genuinely protect completion and handover.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before mobilisation.

Can Neo review an existing P6 programme?

Yes. Reviews can assess logic, calendars, constraints, critical path, float, coding, progress methodology and alignment with commissioning requirements.

Can planning support focus only on commissioning?

Yes. Neo can develop a standalone commissioning programme or integrate commissioning logic into the main construction schedule.

Do you provide progress reporting as well as programme development?

Yes. Support can include update cycles, narratives, dashboards, look-aheads, variance analysis and recovery recommendations.
