The Starling Apartments Construction Planning

Overview:

Precision Scheduling Consultants LLC successfully provided detailed construction planning and project controls for The Starling Apartments, a modern multifamily development. This project required strategic coordination, accurate forecasting, and clear execution strategies to meet the client’s expectations on time and within budget.

Project Overview

The Starling Apartments project included the construction of 90 residential units spread across three three-story apartment buildings. These units offered one, two, and three-bedroom configurations to accommodate a diverse resident population. Additionally, the development featured a community center, mail kiosk, and laundry building, along with several site amenities. These included a swimming pool, multiple playgrounds, barbecue pits, picnic tables, and full perimeter fencing for enhanced security and comfort. Because this was a full-site development, construction required careful sequencing of vertical and horizontal work activities.

Scope of Services Provided

Precision was engaged to deliver complete project controls and construction scheduling consulting from the pre-construction phase through final turnover. We developed the baseline CPM schedule using Primavera P6, ensuring full integration of all trades and milestone targets. Furthermore, we incorporated sitework, utility infrastructure, and amenity construction into one unified, logic-driven schedule. Our consultants provided cost-loaded schedules, allowing the owner to forecast financials accurately and track earned value across the project timeline. Throughout the construction process, we supported the client with monthly schedule updates, variance analysis, and sequencing adjustments to maintain schedule health.

Coordination with Project Teams

Collaboration was essential on this multifaceted project. Therefore, we maintained regular communication with the general contractor, design consultants, and subcontractors. This constant coordination allowed us to proactively identify conflicts, revise sequences, and keep construction aligned with all stakeholder expectations. As project demands shifted, we adjusted activity durations and logic ties to reflect changing conditions and material availability.

Managing Risk and Resources

We conducted frequent schedule health checks and reviewed float paths to pinpoint potential bottlenecks or critical resource constraints. For example, during foundation work, we adjusted timelines due to unexpected weather delays. Our quick response helped the project regain momentum through resequencing and added crews. Moreover, equipment staging for vertical construction required precise timing. We synchronized deliveries and crane access to prevent site congestion or idle time. Our scheduling experts also tracked long-lead item procurement, flagging delays and helping the project team accelerate vendor coordination.

Project Outcome and Benefits

Thanks to structured planning and active controls, The Starling Apartments project progressed efficiently and maintained alignment with key construction goals. The client received clear, reliable forecasts and actionable scheduling insights throughout each construction stage. As a result, the development team avoided costly delays and reduced rework.

Delivering Value in Multifamily Housing

Multifamily construction demands flexible planning, tight coordination, and strategic controls. Precision delivers all three with every engagement. At The Starling Apartments, we empowered the project team to stay organized, adaptable, and confident—from groundbreaking to completion.
