Abstract
The contractor is involved in programming at all stages of the planning process. At the tender stage, the pre-tender programme is prepared as the basis of the contractor’s bid. At the pre-contract stage the tender programme is developed into the contract master programme as more information becomes available. During the contract stage, short term monthly and weekly programming procedures are implemented in order to keep the master programme under constant review.
