01 — Overview

Project control starts with a programme that can be defended.

Northpoint provides planning and programming support to small and mid-sized main contractors at tender stage, through live delivery, and across update cycles. The focus is practical: logic that reflects how the job will actually be built, float that is defensible, and update reviews that track delivery rather than hide slippage.

The work is written. Programmes are delivered in Microsoft Project and Asta Powerproject, with observations recorded in a format that sits alongside the contractor's own project reporting.

07 — Scope

How Northpoint fits.

Northpoint provides independent support in planning, project controls, technical coordination, and quality. Where legal, quantum, or specialist design appointments are required, Northpoint supports the wider project team rather than replacing the role of the relevant consultant.
