Grosenbacher Elementary School Planning

Overview:

Precision Scheduling Consultants LLC proudly provided expert CPM scheduling consulting services for the construction and Elementary School Planning of Grosenbacher Elementary School. This essential educational project, located in the growing region of west San Antonio, required a comprehensive and coordinated scheduling approach to ensure successful delivery.

Project Overview

The Grosenbacher Elementary School construction project involved complete ground-up development of a new, modern learning facility with a $24 million budget. Elementary School Planning included all general construction, extensive site work, and full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. Because school construction demands strict adherence to timelines and specifications, the project required meticulous planning, accurate forecasting, and proactive risk management from start to finish.

Our Role and Responsibilities

Precision worked closely with the general contractor and owner to develop and maintain the baseline construction schedule. We utilized Primavera P6 to create a detailed Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule, which provided full visibility of activities, logic ties, and milestone targets. Next, we cost- and resource-loaded the schedule to align financial forecasts with real-time project progress. This supported better cash flow management and allowed stakeholders to track earned value and resource efficiency as a key aspect of Elementary School Planning. We provided monthly schedule updates, analyzed variances, and suggested corrective actions to avoid delays and cost overruns.

Coordination and Communication

Because the school required synchronized work between multiple trades, we conducted frequent coordination meetings with subcontractors and project managers. We updated look-ahead schedules and helped refine sequences to prevent work interruptions as part of the Elementary School Planning. For example, HVAC installation needed careful timing with ceiling framing and fire sprinkler work. Therefore, we adjusted activity sequencing to ensure smooth execution. Additionally, procurement of long-lead materials, such as mechanical units and electrical switchgear, demanded continuous monitoring. We flagged potential delivery delays early, giving the team time to respond proactively.

Risk Management and Adjustments

Throughout the project, we identified and addressed schedule risks related to weather delays, subcontractor availability, and utility tie-ins. For instance, unexpected rain during site grading impacted early earthwork milestones. In response, we revised the schedule to recover lost time by resequencing interior tasks. We also implemented progress tracking tools that allowed stakeholders to evaluate schedule health and performance metrics in real time. This transparency supported better decision-making in Elementary School Planning throughout construction.

Outcome and Client Satisfaction

The Grosenbacher Elementary School project reached substantial completion on schedule, meeting district expectations and operational readiness targets. Precision’s involvement contributed significantly to the project’s timely delivery by enhancing team communication, improving visibility, and minimizing schedule disruptions. Our client commended our team for responsiveness, clarity, and accuracy in managing all schedule aspects from groundbreaking to closeout, which was intrinsic to the Elementary School Planning.
