Our Services

Planning your build – building your plan

At N.O.V8 Consulting Limited, we offer expert construction planning services using industry-leading software such as Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject, and Microsoft Project. These tools allow us to produce clear, detailed, and logically structured programmes that support effective scheduling, resource management, and progress monitoring. To complement our digital planning, we also develop phasing sketches that visually illustrate the sequencing of works, site logistics, and key interfaces. This combined approach ensures that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the project strategy, helping to reduce risk, improve coordination, and support successful project delivery from start to finish.

Bid Support

At N.O.V8 Consulting Limited, we offer specialist bid planning expertise with a strong track record of supporting successful tenders on major infrastructure projects. With deep expertise in the NEC4 planning process, we develop robust, compliant programmes that align with contract requirements and clearly demonstrate your delivery strategy. Using Primavera P6, we produce well-structured, logic-linked schedules that illustrate realistic sequencing, resource planning, and key project milestones. Our approach ensures clarity, confidence, and credibility in your bid, helping you communicate your methodology effectively to clients and evaluators. Whether for contractors or consultants, we provide tailored planning solutions that add value from day one.

Our bid planning experience includes key roles on high-profile projects such as HS2 Birmingham Curzon Street Station (NEC Option C) and HS2 Euston Station (NEC Option F), where we supported the successful Mace/Dragados bids. Responsibilities included compiling detailed Stage 1 and 2 programmes, engaging closely with technical teams, subcontractors, designers, and stakeholders to build logic-driven schedules that accounted for constructability, logistics, enabling works, and modern methods of construction. We also provided high-quality phasing diagrams and incorporated supplier programmes where appropriate, structuring everything in accordance with NEC scheduling principles. Our work on the programme question received high commendation for clarity and innovation.

Additionally, we represented Movar in supporting BCM Construction on competitive bids for the Lyminster Bypass bridges, developing P6 programmes, phasing and logistics sketches. Across all bids, our approach is grounded in collaboration, technical rigour, and a commitment to producing planning outputs that enhance tender quality and increase the likelihood of success.

Planning Permission Support

At N.O.V8 Consulting Limited, we provide specialist support for planning submissions and environmental statements on major residential developments. Our expertise includes construction logistics, buildability, phasing, and programme advice tailored to meet planning requirements and inform the design and consultation process. We’ve supported a range of large-scale projects, including Clapham Park (2,550 homes), Bermondsey (1,200 homes), Woolwich (931 homes), and Winstanley & York Road (2,500 homes), and recently West Kentish Town Estate (705 homes). Our services have included preparing detailed constructability and phasing reports, contributing to the buildability chapter of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs), and compiling Outline Construction Management Plans (CMPs) and Outline Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs).

Earned schedule

With a clear focus on practical delivery, we help clients demonstrate that construction impacts are well considered and manageable—supporting smoother planning approvals and project readiness. We have also provided support to developers in discharging their planning conditions eg Study for construction delivery by water for Westferry development.

In addition, we have compiled detailed construction feasibility studies for clients to help assess the viability and practicality of proposed developments before committing to design or procurement decisions. These studies consider key factors such as site constraints, access and logistics, phasing requirements, construction methodologies, programme implications, and potential risks. By identifying challenges early and offering practical, buildable solutions, our feasibility studies provide clients with a clear understanding of how a project can be delivered efficiently and safely. This insight supports informed decision-making, optimises design development, and strengthens submissions for planning or funding approval.
