Helping main contractors reduce delivery risk and strengthen project control.
Northpoint Project Support provides independent support to small and mid-sized main contractors across planning, project controls, technical coordination, and quality. Support is available at tender stage, during live project delivery, and through close-out, where stronger programme control, clearer technical review, and better visibility of delivery risk are needed.
Brought in when delivery risk is increasing or project control needs strengthening.
Engaged by main contractors when programme, NEC process, technical coordination, or quality need independent senior input. Practical and written, scoped to a defined output.
Tender programmes need stronger structure and logic.
Construction programmes are not being updated credibly.
NEC processes are slipping under live delivery pressure.
Technical information is incomplete or poorly coordinated.
Quality concerns are emerging late in delivery.
Defects and close-out need independent review.
Internal senior resource is stretched across multiple projects.
Contractor-side delivery, planning, and technical review experience.
Live main contractor delivery on commercial new build and refurbishment, combined with a background in planning, project controls, technical review, and quality oversight.
Background grounded in live main contractor delivery on commercial new build and refurbishment projects.
Tender and construction programmes, update reviews, and project control observations, built in Microsoft Project and Asta Powerproject.
Independent written review of drawings, specification, coordination, quality, snagging, and defects, structured to hold up on record.
External senior support that sits alongside the team without replacing roles, and without legal, quantum, or claims positioning.
Three lead services, plus a supporting BIM capability.
Planning and Programming, NEC Process Support, and Technical Review and Quality Reporting. BIM and digital support is engaged where it strengthens delivery on the lead services.
Tender and construction programmes, programme reviews, update reviews, sequencing observations, and project control support, built in Microsoft Project and Asta Powerproject.
Practical, operational NEC3 and NEC4 process support. Early warning discipline, programme compliance, and project controls aligned to day-to-day NEC project administration.
Independent technical review of tender and construction information, coordination comments, quality inspections, snagging and defect reporting, and close-out review input. Includes informed input on building fabric quality, supported by Certified Passivhaus Consultant expertise where envelope performance is relevant.
Support at tender, through live delivery, and into close-out.
Each stage has its own outputs. Engagements are scoped to the stage where support is needed.
Tender programmes that hold up to scrutiny, drawing and specification review, buildability input, and technical risk visibility before the job is priced and committed.
- Tender programmes (Microsoft Project / Asta)
- Tender drawing and specification review notes
- Buildability observation logs
- Technical risk review comments
Construction programme control, NEC process discipline, technical coordination review, and independent observation while delivery is live and pressured.
- Construction programmes and update reviews
- NEC process review notes and observations
- Project control observation reports
- Technical coordination review comments
Independent quality inspection, snagging and defect reporting, and close-out review, giving the contractor a clear, evidence-based record going into handover.
- Snagging inspection reports
- Quality audit reports
- Defect review reports
- Independent technical observation notes
Practical triggers from live projects.
Where these signals are present on a current or upcoming project, independent senior input is usually the right call.
Independent input before submission, covering a defensible programme, buildability observations, and drawing and specification review notes.
Construction programme and update reviews, sequencing observations, and project control support alongside the delivery team.
Operational NEC3 and NEC4 process support covering early warnings, programme compliance, and project administration discipline, without legal or claims framing.
Independent technical review of drawings, specification, and coordination, flagging gaps and buildability risk in writing.
Independent inspection, snagging reports, and defect review, giving the contractor a clear evidence-based record.
Independent review before handover, structured close-out notes, and defect review reports post-completion.
Retained monthly support that acts as external senior oversight across one or more live projects.
Led by Chris McIvor, Director.
Northpoint is built on contractor-side delivery experience combined with a planning, technical review, and quality background. The business exists because small and mid-sized main contractors regularly need that kind of external senior input on specific projects, without carrying another full-time role.
Bring Northpoint in on a live or upcoming project.
Project-specific support, scoped to a defined output. Retained support available where senior oversight is needed across more than one job.
