ST. JOHN’S APARTMENTS
Overview:
Project Overview
Our firm provided expert CPM scheduling services for the St. John’s Apartments redevelopment. The project involved 228 residential units across seven buildings. It included three existing structures that were fully gutted and rebuilt, along with four new ground-up buildings. This hybrid construction model posed significant scheduling challenges. Renovation and new construction phases ran concurrently, increasing the need for precise planning and sequencing. Thus, our client depended on us to manage timelines, reduce delays, and coordinate across trades.
Services Provided for the St. John Apartments
We created a comprehensive baseline schedule that clearly separated renovation and new construction paths. Each phase included detailed logic ties and activity durations. Our team held scheduling workshops with the contractor, owner, and major trades. Moreover, these sessions aligned expectations and resolved early coordination issues. We updated the schedule monthly using verified progress data, contractor reports, and field observations. Each update included a critical path analysis and forecast adjustments. When activities drifted off-sequence, we immediately identified root causes and proposed mitigation options. Furthermore, our clear reporting structure kept all stakeholders aligned and proactive.
Strategy and Execution
We maintained separate critical paths for renovation and new construction work. This method helped track dependencies and avoid scope-related confusion. To address overlapping scopes, we introduced lookahead schedules and trade-specific sequencing diagrams. These tools improved daily coordination and helped manage resource stacking. Furthermore, we tracked key milestones such as demolition, structural framing, utility rough-ins, and inspections. Each phase had unique permitting and inspection requirements, requiring added schedule attention. When material lead times shifted, we quickly modeled alternatives and proposed resequencing strategies. This helped minimize the impact of long-lead delays. Our team maintained schedule transparency throughout. We presented monthly dashboards with milestone status, risk flags, and variance analysis to the client’s executive team.
Results and Value
Thanks to our scheduling leadership, the project stayed on track despite complex phasing and field challenges. Renovation and new construction elements completed in parallel, without critical path conflict. Our work helped streamline communication between stakeholders, reduce rework, and deliver measurable schedule certainty. The client praised our proactive coordination and clarity in reporting.
Conclusion
St. John’s Apartments highlighted our ability to manage complex, hybrid construction schedules with confidence. Moreover, our scheduling services delivered structure, visibility, and results in a high-stakes redevelopment project.
