Construction resource planning that survives contact with the site
A practical approach to resource planning on utility and civils programmes, built around what the gang actually needs.
Why most resource plans fall apart in week two
Resource plans built in spreadsheets assume every operative is interchangeable and every day is productive. The site never matches the spreadsheet.
By the second week the plan is being held together by the site manager's phone.
Plan against the bench, not the wish list
JJU plans labour against a real, named bench. We work back from production rates, asset type and ticket requirements to a deployable crew.
Where a gap shows up we either fill it from our network or send the right operatives through the academy ahead of mobilisation.
What good planning looks like
Named crews against each programme week
Plant and small tools planned alongside labour
Compliance and tickets validated before the start date
Surge cover identified ahead of the spike
Reinstatement scheduled in step with the civils
What this changes on site
Fewer no-shows and fewer last-minute calls
Realistic forecasts your client can sign off on
Less reliance on premium spot rates
Cleaner SHEQ and audit picture
A plan the site manager actually trusts
Need a resource plan you can actually run?
Send us your programme. We will rebuild the labour plan around it.
