A site without a conductor drifts. As project management assistance, Performance BTP coordinates the trades, orders the tasks and holds the schedule — so your project moves forward without chaos.
Project management assistance represents your interests against the firms. It does not carry out the works: it organises, controls and arbitrates on your behalf. That is the difference between enduring your site and steering it. Performance BTP plays this trusted third-party role, from start to handover.
Each trade has its place in the sequence: you don't tile before networks are run and tested. Supervision identifies the critical path, factors in drying times and supply lead times, and synchronises the trades to avoid idle gaps and conflicts.
The schedule isn't fixed once and for all: it updates at each stage according to real progress, and stays shared with everyone. This transparency means drifts are anticipated and addressed before a small delay contaminates the whole site.
Every week, we run a one-hour site meeting with all trades present or concerned. The agenda: review of the week's works (actual vs planned progress), identification of blockers, validation of technical decisions, update of the master schedule, and definition of actions for the following week. Site meeting minutes are drafted and sent to all parties within 24 hours. This document records all decisions taken — invaluable in the event of a dispute.
80% of construction delays come from poorly managed interfaces between trades: the plumber waiting for the electrician, the tiler arriving before the screed has dried, the painter showing up before the plastering is done. Our role is to anticipate these dependencies and sequence interventions precisely. We use a real-time Gantt schedule shared with all contractors via a site management app. Every trade knows exactly when they intervene, what prerequisite conditions must be in place, and who to chase if they are not.
You have access to a digital dashboard updated weekly: geolocated progress photos, budget indicators (committed / completed / remaining), interactive Gantt schedule, list of open snagging items and their status. You no longer need to visit the site to know where things stand. And if you do want to come, we plan the visit at the most relevant moment — when progress is visible and contractors are on site.
On a full renovation in the Paris region involving five trades, the initial lack of coordination caused costly back-and-forth. Performance BTP taking over the schedule re-synchronised the work and delivered on time, with no wasted call-out charges.
If you coordinate several trades yourself, get each one's scheduling constraints BEFORE starting, and map the dependencies. A single misplaced link in the chain pushes back everything else.
