Planning and Scheduling Services That Drive Project Success

A baseline schedule for a straightforward single-phase commercial project is typically delivered within five to seven business days from the time we have complete project documents and confirmed milestone dates. Complex multi-phase or design-build projects may take ten to fifteen business days. Rush scheduling is available for projects with imminent mobilization dates. Let us know your start date constraint upfront, and we'll confirm our delivery commitment before you engage us.

Our primary platforms are Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, the industry standards for complex CPM scheduling. We also work in Procore Scheduling, Smartsheet, and Asta Powerproject for teams already operating in those environments. For 4D schedule visualization, we use Synchro linked to the project BIM model. We deliver schedules in your required format and can convert between platforms if your project team uses a different tool than the one we built in.

Yes. Mid-construction schedule development and recovery scheduling are common engagements for our team. We establish an as-built record of completed work, identify the current critical path based on actual field conditions, and build a realistic forward schedule from the current project status. If the project is running behind, we analyze acceleration options and develop a recovery schedule that identifies the most cost-effective path back to your contract completion date.

Yes. We establish a regular update cycle, typically monthly for owner reporting and bi-weekly for internal project management, incorporating actual field progress, recalculating the critical path, forecasting a revised completion date, and producing an updated schedule report. When emerging delays are identified, we flag them immediately with an impact assessment and a mitigation recommendation so your team has time to respond before the delay compounds further.

A master schedule covers the entire project from mobilization through closeout, showing all phases, milestones, trade sequences, and the critical path at a level of detail sufficient for owner reporting and overall project control. A lookahead schedule, typically covering three to six weeks, translates the master schedule into near-term work plans that field supervisors and trade foremen use to manage daily crew assignments, material deliveries, and work front sequencing. Both are essential to effective project control.

Critical Path Method scheduling identifies the longest chain of dependent activities through your project, the sequence where any delay directly pushes the completion date. Understanding the critical path allows your team to focus attention and resources on the activities that actually control project delivery rather than treating everything as equally urgent. CPM scheduling also calculates float, the amount of time non-critical activities can slip before affecting the end date, giving you a clear picture of where schedule flexibility exists and where it doesn't.

Yes. When significant delays occur and the question of responsibility needs to be established for a contract claim, we perform forensic schedule analysis using contemporaneous project records, daily reports, meeting minutes, submittal logs, change order documentation, and schedule updates to reconstruct the project timeline and identify the cause, timing, and impact of each delay event. Our delay analysis reports are produced to withstand scrutiny in mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

Yes. We work within Autodesk BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Smartsheet, SharePoint, and other project platforms your team is already using. For schedule updates and reporting, we deliver outputs directly into your existing project environment, eliminating the friction of managing scheduling across separate systems and keeping your entire team working from a single source of truth throughout the construction cycle.

Absolutely. Many of our clients have GCs with consistent project volume, program managers overseeing multiple active contracts, and construction managers who need dedicated scheduling capacity without full-time overhead use us as an ongoing outsourced scheduling resource. We maintain continuity across your projects, adapt to your reporting formats over time, and scale with your workload, available precisely when your project pipeline demands it, without the fixed cost of in-house staff.
