A thorough, correctly executed schedule will provide a management tool that allows clients to make educated, critical decisions. Our experts utilize the principals of critical path method (CPM) to develop a schedule that will help project managers identify both required resources and potential risks.
Working closely with Project Managers and Superintendents we will update schedules to compare planned and actual durations. We can compare a planned schedule to actual durations which will identify risks and possible liabilities.
There are inevitably unforeseen circumstances that can impact construction, let our experts help analyze delays and quantify time lost and calculate damages with Time Impact Analysis.
