Plan889 Construction Project Planning & Controls

At Plan889, we work with clients to deliver simple or ambitious construction projects.  

With over 20 years of practical site-based experience, we specialise in:

• Refurbishments
• Retrofits
• Commercial fit-outs
• Multi-use builds.

Our approach is pragmatic and transparent. We combine deep construction knowledge with proven planning tools to progress from concept to completion with clarity and control.

We provide programme planning and project control solutions that give you certainty at every stage:

• Early Stage Planning: Feasibility reviews, concept programmes and realistic timelines aligned with your project strategy.
• Tender and Bid Support: Phasing / sequencing analysis and methodology support for competitive tenders.
• Construction Programme Development: Critical Path Analysis, optioneering, milestone tracking, and resourcing.
• Change and Delay Management: Impact analysis, recovery programmes, and proactive risk mitigation.
• Retrofit and Refurbishment Planning: Sequencing around occupied buildings, phased delivery, constraints, and compliance integration.
• Reporting and Stakeholder Communication: Progress updates tailored for clients, contractors, and consultants.

Complex projects need clear steps. 

Our structured yet flexible approach keeps everyone informed and on track. From the project outset we get things right by taking the time to: 

• Understand: We objectively review the project and identify key risks early.
• Plan: We build a robust, realistic and deliverable programme. 
• Communicate: We turn data into meaningful updates, providing reports that drive decisions, not confusion.
• Control: We monitor progress, track variances, and keep projects on course.
• Adapt: Whenever there's a change, we respond quickly with options that protect the programme, whilst meeting the Client's aspirations.

This approach allows project teams to confidently make decisions at every stage of delivery.

Clients come back to us time and again because we understand the challenges, opportunities and impacts across the project.

• Practical expertise: We have years of site experience delivering complex, high-value projects up to £250 million.
• Sector understanding: We're specialists in retrofit, refurbishment, fit-out and commercial construction.
• Precision and pragmatism: Our programmes are detailed and realistic, but (most importantly) achievable.
• Sustainability focus: We support your sustainability goals working to BREEAM, LEED and WELL standards.
• Collaborative mindset: We roll our sleeves up and work as part of your team from day one.
