A strong project schedule is critical to achieving construction success. Our construction schedule review services ensure that every schedule aligns with project specifications, design plans, and recognized industry scheduling practices. By carefully reviewing baseline schedules and periodic updates, we help project teams avoid risks, meet deadlines, and control costs. It is essential that the project schedule follows CPM methodology and correctly calculates the critical path. Our construction schedule review ensures project teams have the proper checks to ensure their schedule meets project requirements, resulting in a smoother planning and scheduling process.
Why Construction Schedule Reviews Are Essential
Without careful oversight, project schedules often drift from original plans. As a result, delays, cost overruns, and disputes may occur. To prevent these issues, Precision offers detailed construction schedule reviews. Our team ensures compliance with project specifications, contract requirements, and CPM (Critical Path Method) best practices. Moreover, early detection of schedule flaws allows project teams to act quickly. Timely interventions can save both time and money while preserving critical project milestones.
Our Construction Schedule Review Approach
At Precision, we believe that successful schedule reviews require a structured, hands-on approach. We do not simply glance through schedules. Instead, we conduct a rigorous, line-by-line analysis of every baseline and update submission.
Here’s how our construction schedule review process works:
1. Baseline Schedule Review
First, we review the contractor’s initial baseline schedule. We check it for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with all project documentation.
Key elements we evaluate include:
- Alignment with the scope of work
- Logical sequencing of activities
- Proper assignment of critical paths
- Realistic activity durations
- Reasonable production rates
- Correct use of calendars and constraints
- Resource and cost loading (if applicable)
Furthermore, we ensure that the baseline matches the project’s specifications and general conditions. When inconsistencies appear, we provide immediate feedback and recommend necessary corrections.
2. Periodic Schedule Update Review
After the baseline check, our consultants regularly review periodic schedule updates throughout the project lifecycle.
Each schedule update review includes:
- Progress verification against field reports
- Analysis of logic changes or resequencing
- Identification of critical path shifts
- Evaluation of actual versus planned progress
- Assessment of delay impacts or recovery plans
Through these reviews, we verify that the schedule remains a useful management tool, not just a contractual formality. When issues arise, we suggest corrective actions before they escalate.
