Overview:
Precision Scheduling Consultants provided specialized construction claims consulting services for the renovation of two buildings at the Charles George VA Medical Center (VAMC), located in Asheville, North Carolina. This federally funded project carried an estimated cost of $1.5 million and aimed to improve and modernize key facilities within the medical center to better serve veterans and staff.
Our Role – Precision Scheduling Consultants
As a trusted partner in construction scheduling and claims analysis, Precision played a critical role throughout the duration of the project. Our team was engaged to provide comprehensive forensic schedule analysis and dispute resolution services to support the client’s efforts in addressing project challenges and managing risk effectively.
Our engagement began with a thorough examination of the contractor’s baseline schedule. Using industry-standard tools and methodologies, we identified deviations and delays that impacted the project’s critical path. This analysis enabled us to pinpoint the timing and extent of disruptions with a high degree of precision.
Contemporaneous Document Review
We then conducted a detailed review of project documentation, including correspondence, meeting minutes, daily reports, RFIs, and change orders. This allowed us to trace the root causes of delay events, assign responsibility, and assess entitlement based on contract terms and project history.
Following our investigation, we prepared comprehensive, easy-to-understand reports that outlined the cause-and-effect relationships between various delay events and their impacts on project performance. These reports supported time impact claims and served as a solid foundation for negotiations and potential litigation.
In addition, we performed damage quantification related to schedule delays, productivity loss, and disruption. Our calculations were meticulously supported by data and aligned with recognized industry practices, ensuring that our findings were both defensible and persuasive.
Throughout the process, we collaborated closely with legal counsel, project managers, and key stakeholders to ensure that our analysis aligned with the broader strategy and contractual goals of the client. We provided expert insight during critical negotiations and offered testimony-ready documentation to support our client’s claims.
Results and Impact
Our forensic analysis clearly demonstrated the existence and extent of project delays, backed by rigorous documentation and data-driven insight. This enabled the client to recover both time-related and monetary damages with confidence.
By quantifying and validating the financial impact of schedule disruptions, we strengthened the client’s position during negotiations and protected their contractual rights. Our work contributed directly to a favorable resolution of the claims, avoiding protracted disputes and minimizing additional project risk.
Precision Scheduling Consultants delivered results that were timely, technically sound, and aligned with our client’s objectives. Our contributions helped bring clarity to complex issues and supported an effective, equitable outcome for all parties involved.
