In this testimonial, William Doyle MRICS explains how the Gather platform transforms project management for Costain. Gather provides real‑time insight into performance against forecasts, enabling teams to see whether spend is on track, overspending, or underspending. It supports the management of shift requirements and unexpected issues by allowing users to log and describe needed changes. When work is halted, Gather records the stoppage hours, and inputted hours can be accepted or rejected after negotiation to uncover the true cause. This detailed record‑keeping feeds into the preparation of compensation events, ensuring accurate claims. Overall, the speaker highlights Gather’s ability to surface critical data, streamline decision‑making, and support compensation event processes, positioning it as a game‑changing tool for construction projects.

The beauty of Gather is that it actually allows you, whilst you can descript and provide the information of what is required for the, for the shift, with all projects there is something that comes up and you can't manage. So we can manage that within Gather, and what that allows our team to do is to actually sign off a record that is accurate. So if someone comes across a piece of hard dig but we've got to continue, we'll record the hours that it was stopped. Inputted hours will be then accepted, rejected, and we'll negotiate and understand what the real reason was. And when the compensation event is then eventually put forward,
