So, you’ve got a big project coming up.

You’ve purchased materials, organised manpower and traffic management (of course!).

The only thing left to do is schedule your works in the diary, but the challenge is – do you plan works during the day or overnight?

During working hours, businesses will be open and therefore easier to contact if you need to resolve any issues on the ground. Extra resources can be found easily without tracking down suppliers via annoying automated out of hours contact numbers. Also you can most likely call in additional manpower to provide cover with little or no impact on your works.

However, a downside to daytime hours is the increased volume of traffic, which could lead to delays or cancellations.

If your works have the potential to cause disruption over a long period of time, overnight works could be the ideal solution. Roads, slip roads and lanes can be closed or diverted with minimal impact to the public. Overnight works may also have a greater chance of being approved by authorities due to the minimal disruption.

Bear in mind that not all night works are plain sailing. Finding last minute cover may be more problematic at night, and if the team come across any problems, is there a point of contact available 24/7 to iron any issues?
