Record review navigator
SCL Protocol Appendix B
Programme Records Navigator
Review whether the project record contains the programme material identified in Appendix B. The navigator records availability and gaps. It does not decide whether any record proves delay, disruption, causation or entitlement.
The programme set
Check that the project file preserves each programme used to establish, accept, update or revise the planned route through the works.
Source: Appendix B, sections 1.1 and 1.2, printed page 72
Tender programme
Retain the programme issued with, or forming part of, the Contractor's tender record.
Programme submitted for acceptance
Retain each proposed programme sent to the contract administrator for acceptance.
Accepted Programme
Identify the programme that acquired accepted status under the project procedure.
Updated Programmes
Preserve every update, including the final update that records the completed sequence.
Proposed revised programmes
Keep each proposed revision, including submissions that were not accepted or adopted.
Short-term look-ahead programmes
Retain the detailed near-term programmes used to direct and monitor forthcoming work.
Internal target programmes
Keep the Contractor's internal target programmes in the project record.
Supporting workstream programmes
Review whether suitable programme information exists for the workstreams that feed the main construction programme.

Design
Record the planned and actual sequence for design production and release.
Approvals
Cover approvals by the contract administrator and relevant public authorities.
Procurement or manufacture
Track the steps needed to procure or manufacture items required for the works.
Delivery
Record planned and actual delivery dates where delivery affects the work sequence.
Installation
Show how installation activities connect with access, delivery and preceding work.
Selected construction work
Retain added detail for construction activities that require closer programme control.
Testing and commissioning
Record the testing and commissioning sequence and its links to completion.
Records explaining the programme
Check the material that explains how programme durations, logic, sequence and progress data were selected and revised.
Source: Appendix B, section 1.4, printed page 73
Programme narrative
Record the assumptions behind the proposed programme, including resources, risks, sequence restraints and the critical path.
Update or revision narrative
Explain changes since the preceding update, the as-built information added, the current critical path and relevant delay or disruption events.
Progress curves
Retain curves used to report cost, resource and physical progress.
Milestone table
Keep scheduled, forecast and actual dates together so that movement can be traced.
As-built activity database
Maintain an activity-level as-built record linked to the supporting progress evidence.
Building information model files
Retain the relevant model files where building information modelling is used on the project.
Marked-up drawings and sketches
Preserve drawings or sketches showing anticipated and actual completion dates for defined parts of the works.
Review findings
No review items have been entered. Complete the record review before relying on this page as an action list.
How to use this navigator
Records required before review
Obtain the programme register, programme submissions, acceptance records, updates, revisions, supporting workstream programmes and explanatory material. Use the executed contract to identify any extra programme duties.
Review sequence
- Work through each of the three record groups.
- Mark each item as Available, Gap or Not reviewed.
- Add the controlled record reference or the assigned action.
- Open Findings and transfer gaps to the project action register.
Rating rule
High applies when at least one gap is recorded. Medium applies when no gap is recorded but one or more areas remain unanswered. Low applies only when all 21 areas are recorded as available. Awaiting applies before entry.
Closing evidence
Retain the record index, file references, action owner, target date and evidence that each recorded gap was closed. Keep contractual programme status separate from internal planning status.
This is a training aid. It does not give legal advice, and it does not assess admissibility, evidential weight or contractual compliance.
