Primavera P6 programmes
you can defend
Baseline schedules with sound logic, kept current every month, so that progress, delay and recovery are measured against a programme everyone trusts.
Why this matters
A programme is only useful if its logic, calendars and progress data hold up when someone challenges them: the employer, the engineer, or a tribunal.
RAYYAF builds and maintains Primavera P6 schedules from the contract and the scope, not from templates, and checks each one before it is issued.
Deliverables, defined
Baseline programme
Work breakdown structure, activity logic (FS/SS/FF/SF with lags), calendars, constraints used sparingly, milestones tied to contract dates.
Resource and manpower loading
Resource-loaded schedules and manpower histograms where the contract or the project team needs them.
Monthly updates
Progress update against the baseline with a variance narrative: what moved, why, and what it does to completion.
Look-ahead plans
Two- and three-week look-aheads drawn from the live schedule for site teams.
Recovery and acceleration programmes
Options to recover lost time, with logic changes listed and the impact on cost and resources flagged.
Tender programmes
Concise programmes and method statements to support a bid.
From first call to delivery
Scope and contract review. Milestones, access dates, sectional completion and the reporting the contract expects.
WBS and logic build. Structure the work, set relationships and calendars, agree assumptions.
Schedule health check. Open ends, constraints, float, lags, calendar use and critical-path sanity.
Issue and agree. Walk the programme through with your team and record comments.
Update and report. Monthly progress, variance narrative and recovery options when needed.
- Contract dates, milestones and key conditions
- Drawings, BOQ or scope summary
- Working calendars and holidays
- Any existing schedule (XER, XML or MPP)
- Site progress data for updates
Critical Path Method, DCMA-style schedule-quality checks as a screening tool, and contract-led milestone logic. Imported and calculated dates are kept separate and every assumption is written down.

Common questions
Do you work in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project?
Yes. We deliver in the format your team uses, and can cross-check a Microsoft Project schedule against P6 where required.
Can you update a schedule someone else built?
Yes, after a short schedule health check. If the logic is weak we say so and agree whether to repair it or rebuild.
Is the work remote?
Remote by default. On-site support depends on the assignment and on local licensing and commercial arrangements.
What file formats do you deliver?
Native XER or XML for P6, plus PDF programme outputs and an Excel variance summary.
