Primavera P6 Scheduling Services
Baseline schedules, updates, critical-path reviews and recovery planning.
Primavera P6 planning and scheduling
We develop and review critical path method (CPM) schedules with logical sequencing, calendars, milestones, activity coding and reporting structures aligned with the contract.
Baseline schedule development
Define scope and work breakdown structure, identify constraints and interfaces, establish calendars, link activities logically, test critical paths and document assumptions in a schedule narrative.
Schedule updates and recovery planning
Update actual starts and finishes, remaining durations and forecast dates. Analyze changes to the critical path and develop options for mitigation or recovery when needed.
Independent schedule reviews
Review missing logic, excessive constraints, float, unusual lags, calendars, critical-path continuity and consistency with site records.
Software
Oracle Primavera P6 and complementary scheduling tools may be used depending on client requirements and available data.
INDEPENDENT SCHEDULE ASSURANCE
Schedule Audit & Standards-Based Reviews
Independent owner-side evaluation of baseline schedules and monthly updates, with evidence-based findings and prioritized recommendations. We use recognized guidance as diagnostic frameworks, always considering project contracts and context.
GAO Schedule Assessment Guide
Review against the U.S. Government Accountability Office's ten best practices for developing and maintaining reliable schedules.
AACE RP 29R-03 & PMI
Use AACE International Recommended Practice 29R-03 for forensic schedule analysis where relevant, and PMI's Practice Standard for Scheduling for schedule development principles.
The DCMA 14-point metrics are screening indicators, not automatic pass/fail contract acceptance criteria. AACE RP 29R-03 focuses on forensic schedule analysis rather than serving as a universal baseline audit checklist.
