About PROSPEC
A specialist function, deliberately narrow.
PROSPEC exists because planning and project controls is too important to be a side task on someone's desk. We are not a full-service PMC and not a contractor. We do one thing — programme and controls — and we do it properly, as an outsourced monthly service.
Contractors win work on delivery, not on paperwork. But without a dedicated planner, the programme quietly decays: the baseline ages, updates slip, and reporting becomes a scramble the night before a review. When a delay claim lands, there is nothing solid to stand on.
PROSPEC fills that gap. We give contractors the planning and controls capability of a much larger organisation — the visibility, the early warning, and the defensible record — without the cost and commitment of building an in-house team.
Chapter 01 — Values
Three principles we hold to.
Outcome-Led
We are measured on visibility, early warning, and defensible records — not on the volume of documents produced.
Specialist, Not Generalist
We do one thing: planning and project controls. It is a discipline, not a side task bolted onto a PM role.
Built On Evidence
Every programme, update, and report is contemporaneous and traceable — a record that holds up under scrutiny.

Chapter 02 — Foundations
The project types behind our methodology.
These are the sectors the founder's experience covers — the foundation of PROSPEC's approach, not a list of current client projects.
Civil Engineering & Groundworks
Earthworks, structures and enabling works where sequencing and float discipline decide the outcome.
Infrastructure & Public Works
Utilities, drainage and public-realm programmes with multiple interfaces and stakeholders.
Defence & Institutional Projects
Secure, controlled environments demanding rigorous change control and reporting.
Transport & Highways
Highways and transport schemes with phased access, possessions and tight constraints.
Precast & Production Planning
Factory and precast production schedules synchronised with site demand.
NEC & Formal Contract Reporting
Programme submissions and reporting aligned to NEC / Clause 32 obligations.
Chapter 03 — How we work
Four steps to a live controls cycle.
Free health-check
We review your current programme, or its absence, and show you exactly where the risk sits.
Scope agreed
We define the controls cycle, reporting cadence and outputs that fit your project — and only those.
Baseline built or audited
We build a clean baseline from scratch, or audit and repair the one you already have.
Monthly cycle begins
Updates, look-aheads, delay analysis and reporting run on a steady, dependable rhythm.
