NBP Delivery
Project delivery operating system
Seventeen tracked dimensions per programme, so that progress is evidenced rather than asserted.
No initiative has reached delivery — the registry is at concept and early study stage. What follows is the structure a programme is tracked against once construction begins. Milestones are verifiable completion points rather than progress percentages, because a percentage is an opinion and a milestone is a fact.
Scope
What the programme includes, and what it explicitly does not.
Workstreams
Parallel bodies of work with their own owners.
Tasks
Assigned actions with owners and due dates.
Dependencies
What must exist before a workstream can proceed.
Milestones
Verifiable points of completion, not progress percentages.
Schedule
Planned against actual, with variance made visible.
Budget
Committed, spent and forecast, each classified for confidence.
Contracts
Executed agreements, variations and their obligations.
Approvals
Statutory consents obtained and outstanding.
Procurement
Packages, their status and their award.
Construction
Site progress against the programme.
Issues
Live problems with an owner and a resolution path.
Risks
Registered risks with severity, mitigation and residual exposure.
Inspections
Quality, safety and environmental inspection outcomes.
Documents
Drawings, certificates and correspondence under version control.
Payments
Certified applications and their settlement.
KPIs
Delivery indicators reported to the accountable institution.
Visual progress
Six evidence sources, compared chronologically. Independent sources matter: satellite capture verifies activity without depending on the reporting of the party being measured.
Site photographs
Dated, geotagged records from defined vantage points so comparison is like for like.
Drone imagery
Periodic aerial capture showing earthworks and structural progress at scale.
Satellite imagery
Independent verification of site activity without relying on contractor reporting.
BIM
The design model against which as-built condition is compared.
GIS
Spatial context: land, utilities, access and environmental constraints.
Construction milestones
Verifiable completion points, each evidenced by inspection.
