01 / WHO WE HELP
Whether you run projects, lead an organisation or develop property, we start with what you want to achieve – then decide together whether project support, a tool or some training will help most.
PROJECT & ENGINEERING TEAMS
Reporting that takes days, plans and risk registers in fragile spreadsheets, and a team keen to use AI but unsure where to start.
LEADERSHIP TEAMS
You want to know where AI should change how your organisation delivers – before committing to an expensive experiment.
PROPERTY DEVELOPERS & INVESTORS
You find the opportunities. Appraisals, data and admin slow you down – and one spreadsheet error can cost you a deal.
02 / HOW WE HELP
Most work starts small and grows once it has proved its value. You can use one service or all three.
Consultant project and programme management, with the discipline of three decades of delivery.
Bespoke AI tools and apps, shaped around how your business already works.
Hands-on training so your people use AI confidently, safely and well – with your own work as the examples.
And if AI isn’t the right answer, we’ll tell you.

FOUNDER, FORWARD PROJECTS LTD
We’re interested in how things work – and how we can make them work better.
Forward Projects was founded in 2007 by Steve Wayt, a Chartered Civil and Structural Engineer. We bring technical understanding and commercial perspective to the same conversation.
The experience behind the company goes back more than 30 years: structural design with Arup, site engineering with John Laing, nuclear programmes for EDF Energy and Magnox, and construction projects for Eaton, along with training in property development that taught us what to investigate before making a commitment.
Today we work as consultant project managers to the people who deliver: advising on what to do, building the tools they need with AI-assisted development, and sharing what three decades of projects have taught us. The tools change quickly, so we keep learning – and we’ll always tell you plainly what they can and can’t do.
LET’S FIND A WAY FORWARD
A project to move on, a team to bring up to speed, or a deal that needs better numbers. We’ll work out whether project support, a tool or some training would help most.
