One of the major risks in the performance of your construction contracts is the risk of being late. Failure to correctly assess how long the job will take, not only means your Preliminary and General costs may be far in excess of what can be claimed; it also exposes your company to the substantial risk of Liquidated Damages. The risk lies solely with you, the Contractor, since it is you, by way of your Tender Programme, that advises the client how long the project will take to build. This in turn becomes the yardstick by which your performance is measured. Failure to programme the works correctly, means that the contract period is often no more than an optimistic guess. You would never guess at how much a job is going to cost, why would you guess at how long it’s going to take, or how many people are required to build it? Especially when there could be major damages at stake for late delivery. We can help. We can create a fully optimised, comprehensively scheduled programme that ensures all works are fully planned and resourced to maximise efficiency and reduce your risk of failure to hit key contract dates. Contracts as a matter of course also encounter unexpected events and changes in scope. These often impact the original planned execution of the project and create changes to the build timing and methodology. A correctly designed and executed programme greatly enhances your management team’s effectiveness and efficiency in controlling the project and such events. The programme provides them with the dynamic tools they need to immediately map out and illustrate the effects of any changes and ensures that they can make educated and informed critical decisions. It also provides the essential proof of impact, required to support successful claims for extensions of time.

Liverpool

Liverpool Hope University pursues a path of excellence in scholarship and collegial life without reservation or hesitation. The University’s distinctive philosophy is to ‘educate in the round’ – mind, body and spirit – in the quest for Truth, Beauty and Goodness. Liverpool Hope University is distinctive in that it is the only university foundation in Europe (and the USA) where Catholic and Anglican colleges have come together to form an integrated, ecumenical, Christian foundation. It has happened in Liverpool and nowhere else in Europe largely because of the presence in the 1980s of two remarkable church leaders: Bishop David Sheppard, the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese, and Archbishop Derek Worlock, the Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese that extends from Liverpool across the north of England. They confessed their faith to each other and took their congregations to visit each other’s cathedrals, a symbolic act of Christians working together in the context of northern Irish religious sectarianism. When the three colleges (St Katharine’s 1844, Notre Dame College 1856 and Christ’s College 1964) came together the name ‘Hope’ was adopted came from Hope Street that links both cathedrals - a living parable of what can happen when Christians unite and work together for the common good. This year we celebrate 175 years since the founding of our first college in 1844; in that year there were only six universities in England (two of them medieval) but all of them did not admit women, Catholics or Jews. The founding colleges of Liverpool Hope University were among the first few institutions to begin opening up higher education to the vast majority of England’s population. The Anglican Bishops of Liverpool, going back to the founding Bishop, Bishop Ryle, were all evangelicals. The friendship of the Anglican Bishop and the Catholic Archbishop was largely based on both their sharing of a mutual faith and their commitment to the poor. This adherence to historic Christian faith remains the university’s own commitment as it seeks to live out that faith in its life and work in a secularised British academy. At the beginning of each academic term we hold a Foundation Service to restate our foundational mission and values. Our Graduation ceremonies are held in alternating years in both the Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals in Liverpool.The new name of Liverpool Hope University was chosen to represent the ecumenical mission of the Institution. Liverpool Hope University was born in July 2005, when the Privy Council bestowed the right to use the University title. Research Degree Awarding Powers were granted by the Privy Council in 2009.
