Project controls and programme review
Programme and project-controls reviews that identify risk before it becomes a claim.
A programme should be a management tool, not merely a contractual submission. Constructive Advisory reviews whether the schedule is logically sound, realistically resourced, properly updated and capable of supporting reliable decisions.
Singapore-based. Regionally experienced.
Constructive Advisory provides independent construction claims, delay, programme and dispute support from Singapore for matters across Asia-Pacific and other international regions.
How the service helps
Reviews can be completed at tender, baseline, progress, recovery or dispute stage and scaled from a focused health check to an embedded project-controls improvement programme.
Suitable for
- Developers and lenders requiring programme assurance
- Contractors improving planning and reporting
- Project managers and consultants reviewing submissions
- Legal and commercial teams assessing programme reliability
When to engage
Bring structure to the issue before more cost is committed.
- The baseline programme requires independent assurance
- Updates no longer reflect actual progress or sequence
- Recovery proposals appear optimistic or unsupported
- Management reporting does not explain forecast movement
- The programme may later need to support a claim or defence
Typical scope
A proportionate scope built around the decision.
- Baseline and update health checks
- Logic, constraints, calendars and float review
- Critical and near-critical path assessment
- Progress, out-of-sequence and data-date review
- Schedule risk and scenario testing
- Recovery and mitigation review
- Project-controls procedure and reporting assessment
- Programme governance and change-control advice
Outputs and information
Clear deliverables with an auditable evidence trail.
The final deliverables and information request are adjusted to the dispute stage, materiality, available records and agreed programme.

Working approach
Evidence first. Method second. Conclusion last.
Check compliance
Test whether the programme satisfies contractual and project-specific planning requirements.
Check credibility
Review logic, durations, resources, constraints, progress and forecast assumptions.
Check usability
Assess whether the programme supports decisions, interfaces, risk management and accountability.
Target improvement
Prioritise practical changes that improve control without creating unnecessary reporting burden.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before the first discussion.
What is a programme health check?
It is a structured review of schedule logic, constraints, calendars, progress, criticality, coding, durations, float and compliance. The objective is to identify issues that affect reliability and decision-making.
Can you review Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project files?
Yes. Reviews may include native programme data, exported reports and supporting project records. The exact scope depends on file access and the decision required.
Does a negative float value prove contractor delay?
No. Negative float is a schedule indicator that must be understood in context, including imposed constraints, update quality, logic, contractual dates and the causes of forecast movement.
Can you help create a recovery programme?
Constructive Advisory can review recovery options, sequencing, constraints, logic and reporting. Detailed construction methodology and resource commitments should be developed with the delivery team.
