Programme Commitments
An agreed programme gives the homeowner a realistic picture of how long the build should take and gives the builder a clear plan to work to. Both sides benefit when the programme is treated as a commitment rather than a rough guide.
Setting a sensible programme
- Agreed in advance, based on realistic sequencing.
- Aligned to the scope and complexity of the works.
- Documented as part of the contract.
When things change
- Builder flags risks early, with a proposed mitigation.
- Client-led changes or unforeseen works are agreed in writing.
- Revised dates are recorded so everyone is working to the same plan.
Delay charges, completion incentives and similar terms vary project by project and sit inside the homeowner's contract with their chosen builder.
