PLANNING, PROJECT CONTROLS AND FORENSIC DELAY ANALYSIS
Helping contractors plan effectively, control change and protect their position-from tender to final account.
Practical support from tender to final account
ViViAD is a specialist construction consultancy providing project planning, project controls, delay analysis and expert witness services across the UK.
We work with specialist subcontractors, regional contractors and major project teams. Our commissions range from reviewing a single tender programme or compensation event to providing ongoing planning support, project controls and expert analysis on complex projects.
Our approach combines practical delivery experience, contractual understanding and reliable programme evidence. The result is clearer information, earlier decisions and a stronger commercial position throughout the project.

Service Highlight
CE Programme Preparation
Preparing robust programmes for Compensation Events is essential to protecting entitlement and avoiding disputes. A strong programme goes beyond recording immediate impacts: it captures both primary effects (direct delays or cost increases) and secondary impacts (knock-on effects to resources, sequencing, and milestones).
At VIVIAD, we produce CE programmes that are simple to understand yet contractually rigorous, supported by clear change notes and visuals that crystallise the ripple effects of change.
Strengthen your entitlement while building trust with the Project Manager by presenting information in a way that is transparent, logical, and defensible.
