Build with Precision, Not Assumptions
You can’t manage what you didn’t plan. In the construction industry, poor planning doesn’t just cause delays—it eats margins, burns reputations, and opens the door to disputes.
At Canning CC, we deliver practical, risk-aware construction planning that transforms moving parts into a unified project plan. From early-stage construction schedules to procurement strategies, sequencing, cost integration, and contingency plans, we create a construction management plan that the whole project team can follow—not just file away.
On time. On budget. On point. That starts with a real construction plan.
What Is Construction Planning?
Construction planning is the backbone of successful construction project management. It maps out what gets done, by whom, when, and how—while exposing risks before they become problems.
Comprehensive construction project planning includes:
Construction schedules (e.g. Gantt charts, critical path models, project milestones)
Resource planning and labour forecasting
Material procurement and lead time management
Site logistics, sequencing, and work breakdown structures
Budget and timeline alignment
Stakeholder coordination and reporting
Done right, a construction program gives everyone—from the project manager to the CFO—clarity, accountability, and confidence from Day 1.
How We Plan Your Construction Project
No two projects are the same—so no two project plans should be either. Here’s how our construction planners help you move from vision to reality:
Early Engagement
Collaborate with the design team, construction manager, and stakeholders pre-tender
Custom Scheduling
Develop project schedules, Gantt charts, and construction timelines built for your delivery method
Risk-Based Sequencing
Align the construction methodology with procurement, approvals, weather risk, and resource requirements
Progress Monitoring Framework
Embed milestone checks, float tracking, project progress markers, and sync with progress claims
Live Adjustments
Use real-time feedback and project management software to update schedules and meet project goals
We don’t just hand over a schedule—we stay involved to keep your entire project moving forward.
Who Needs Construction Planning?
Whether it’s a 12-week fit-out or a multi-year infrastructure job, construction planning is non-negotiable for a successful project.
You’ll want us involved if:
You’re a developer juggling overlapping project scopes and teams
A builder delivering under D&C, ECI, or traditional contracts
A project management consultancy needing a reliable construction planner
A government agency requiring formal pre-construction controls and environmental management plans
An investor or insurer validating timelines and feasibility
If you’re serious about project completion, this is your foundation.
