Discover supplier delays 6–8 weeks before they hit your programme
Weekly structured check-ins that catch the drift early.
The problem
The steel call that comes four weeks too late.
Your PM phones the structural steel supplier once a month. When they finally pick up, the delivery has slipped by four weeks. Two weeks out, the formwork crew has nowhere to go. Standing time is already racking up, and you're filing an EOT you won't win because you should have known.
We change the timing. We check in weekly, structured. You know eight weeks early.
What you get
A Friday report that actually tells you something.
Every Friday, a report that shows:
- Which long-lead suppliers are tracking to programme
- Which have flagged new risks or timeline changes
- Which items have entered the danger zone (60 days to delivery, risk emerging)
- Ranked by your actual critical path impact, not generic urgency
- Source: documented supplier feedback (calls, emails, RFIs answered)
You also get real-time alerts the moment a supplier crosses a threshold you care about — no waiting for Friday.
How it works
A simple, repeatable weekly rhythm.
- 01
Scope the critical suppliers
Week 1: we meet with you and your PM. You identify the 8–12 critical suppliers and the specific items we're tracking — structural steel, facade systems, major mechanical plant, switchboards, anything else keeping you awake.
- 02
Every Tuesday, we ask
Current delivery commitment, anything changed since last week, confidence level, what would delay you from here, and who to escalate to if it does.
- 03
By Wednesday, we cross-check
Responses get documented and checked against your latest design, procurement, and programme updates.
- 04
By Friday, you read the report
A one-page report: what changed, what matters, what needs action this week.
In practice
What this looks like when it works.
Illustrative examples based on common patterns we're validating — not a specific, named client engagement.
On a $120M mixed-use project, weekly monitoring surfaces a mechanical plant availability issue in week 3. The equipment is sourced internationally, with a 16-week lead time already locked in. A design change planned for week 8 would have broken that commitment and pushed the critical path out by weeks. Because the risk surfaced early, the design change gets rescheduled to week 2 instead — the supplier confirms the revised timeline, and the delay never happens.
On another project, a structural steel supplier flags a mill capacity issue in week 2. By week 5, the head contractor has negotiated a split delivery — part on time, part two weeks late — and rescheduled formwork in that zone to absorb the gap. Because the risk was documented from week 2 onward, any resulting variation claim is backed by weeks of correspondence showing exactly when it was discovered and how it was managed.
Who this is for
Built for the people who own the schedule.
Today and tomorrow
Manual discipline today. Same discipline, at scale, tomorrow.
Today
We run these check-ins manually — we phone suppliers, document responses, score risk against your schedule, and write the Friday report ourselves.
Tomorrow
The platform automates the supplier contact loop, flags risk using historical supplier performance and market signals, and fires alerts automatically. Same discipline, infinite scale.
