Industrial & Distribution
Scheduling built around industry realities

Our role on industrial & distribution projects.

We help teams integrate building, systems and automation schedules so the operator’s go-live date is protected.

  1. 01

    Define milestones and interfaces

    Agree the milestones that matter and map the interfaces between design, procurement, construction, systems and turnover.

  2. 02

    Establish construction-driven logic

    Build sequences from how the work will actually be done, with the people who will do it.

  3. 03

    Monitor procurement and execution

    Track long-lead items and field progress against the plan in every update.

  4. 04

    Identify critical and near-critical paths

    Know which activities drive each milestone and which could take over.

  5. 05

    Communicate schedule risk clearly

    Reporting that tells field teams and executives what is changing and what to do next.

What makes these projects different

The interfaces that decide the finish date.

IND-08-01

Facility construction

Large footprints and fast-track programmes put pressure on slab, structure and enclosure sequences.

IND-08-02

Automation interfaces

Automation and controls vendors need building areas, power and data at specific points in the schedule.

IND-08-03

Material handling equipment

Conveyors, sortation and racking installations have their own sequence and testing needs.

IND-08-04

Operational turnover

Go-live depends on systems integration testing, training and operator readiness.
