Master Programme Agent
The Master Programme Agent drafts the baseline master programme from the project scope, work stages, statutory approvals, procurement lead times and construction sequence. It sets out activities, logic links and durations, identifies the likely critical path and produces a schedule your planner can import and refine in Primavera P6 or MS Project.

The difference
From 3-5 days per baseline programme to 6-8 hours
A credible baseline is in place within days of appointment, so the client gets realistic dates before commitments are made.

Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.
Approvals and lead times built in from day one
Programmes often underestimate municipal plan approval, environmental authorisation or long-lead items such as lifts, transformers and structural steel. The agent builds them in so the dates are realistic.
A programme that stands up later
A properly logic-linked baseline is the foundation for assessing any extension of time or NEC compensation event. You start the project with a programme you can defend.
Your planner refines instead of starting from scratch
Instead of keying in hundreds of activities, your planner reviews the logic, adjusts durations and resources, and concentrates on the critical path.
Capabilities
A logic-linked baseline programme drafted in hours, ready for your planner to refine.
Built for client-side project managers, principal agents, planners and construction managers preparing baseline programmes for building and civil projects in South Africa.
Work breakdown structure
Builds the WBS from the scope and Identification of Work stages, covering design, approvals, procurement, construction and close-out.
Approvals and permits
Includes land use, building plan approval, environmental authorisation, water use licences, heritage, NHBRC enrolment, CIDB project registration and the construction work permit where they apply, with realistic dependencies.
Procurement lead times
Schedules tender periods, adjudication and award, plus long-lead items such as lifts, generators, transformers, façade systems and structural steel.
Construction sequence
Drafts the construction logic from site establishment and earthworks through structure, envelope, services, finishes and commissioning to practical completion.
Critical path and float
Identifies the likely critical path and float on key activities, and highlights milestones at risk from approval or procurement durations.
Ready for P6 and MS project
Produces activities, durations and logic links ready to import into Primavera P6 or MS Project, with a basis of programme narrative that supports submissions such as an NEC clause 31 programme.
How it works
From your systems to a result you sign off
Your planner refines the logic and durations, and the project manager approves the baseline before it is issued or submitted for acceptance.
Connect the places your programme data already live.
The project brief and execution plan, approvals register, procurement plan and previous project programmes from SharePoint, Primavera P6 or MS Project. Already use something else? We connect that too.

Step by step
- 01
The scope, work stages and key dates are shared with the agent.
- 02
It builds the work breakdown structure and activity list.
- 03
It adds approvals, procurement lead times and the construction sequence with logic links.
- 04
It identifies the critical path and the milestones at risk.
- 05
Your planner reviews and refines the programme in Primavera P6 or MS Project.
- 06
The project manager approves and issues the baseline.
Deployment
Runs inside the tools your team already uses
The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.
In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

- New secondary school

On a model you host yourself
Run the agent on open-weight models in your data centre or private cloud. Your programme data never leave your network, which keeps POPIA and data residency straightforward.
- Llama
- Mistral
- Ollama
- or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
Inside your own software
Trigger a run from your own workflows, and push the finished output into your ERP, GRC or reporting systems. We build the integration with your team.
- REST API
- Webhooks
- Batch jobs
- Embeddable review panel
Governed the same way, every route
Whichever way your team reaches the agent, identity, permissions and audit stay with your existing controls.
- Single sign-on through Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace
- Reads only the documents each user is already allowed to open
- Every tool call written to an audit log you can export
How we deliver it
One agent, three ways to hold it
Start where your team already works, then take it as far into your systems as the value justifies.
DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY
Your programme data stay yours.
The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your programme data. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
Built for regulated work.
+YOUR PROGRAMME DATA NEVER LEAVE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
