Plan tender weather allowances with historical data

Estimate average weather-affected days for selected trade operations and project months at the proposed location.

Tender planning matrix with construction operations assigned across project months

Move beyond a generic weather allowance

Every project has a different location, season, sequence and combination of weather-sensitive operations. The Tender Planning tool uses ten years of historical information to estimate average unsuitable days for the operation assigned to each project month.

  • Set the expected start month, year and duration
  • Assign a trade operation to each project month
  • Review ten-year average unsuitable days
  • Compare adjacent months when considering acceleration or resequencing
  • Download information for tender or programme narratives

A transparent planning workflow

Set the location and programme period

Start with the intended project location, expected commencement and duration.

Assign operations by month

Map the planned weather-sensitive trade or activity to each relevant period.

Review historical unsuitable days

Use the calculated averages as evidence for estimating and planning — not as a guarantee of future weather.

Consider programme choices

Compare adjacent months to inform possible acceleration, delay or resequencing decisions.

Planning limitation: Historical averages describe past conditions and do not predict the exact number of unsuitable days a future project will experience. Allow for contract allocation, site exposure, working methods, productivity, climate trends and project-specific tolerances.
