For Contractors

CPM Scheduling for Contractors

Managing a construction project requires precision, planning and proactive problem solving. Delays, unforeseen site conditions and scope changes can quickly impact schedules and budgets, creating financial risk and disputes. Our team provides contractors with professional construction CPM Scheduling services, cost control solutions and delay claims expertise that protect your interests, minimize risks, and keep projects moving forward.

CPM Scheduling- Construction Schedule Management

Accurate CPM Scheduling is the foundation of successful project delivery. We specialize in Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling, a proven approach that ensures project milestones are met and risks are controlled. By building logic-driven schedules and updating them throughout the project, we help contractors maintain full visibility of progress and protect themselves against delay-related claims.

Our scheduling services include:

  • Development of detailed baseline CPM schedules

  • Monthly progress updates comparing planned vs. actual performance

  • What-if schedule analyses and recovery plans to mitigate potential delays

With clear, defensible schedules, contractors can better manage resources, track project impacts, and negotiate fair adjustments with owners.

Construction Cost Control & Budgeting

Financial management is critical to profitability in construction. Our construction cost control services give contractors the tools they need to forecast accurately, monitor performance and respond quickly to risks.

Our cost management services include:

  • Cost planning and cash flow projections aligned with project milestones

  • Earned Value Management (EVM) to track schedule and cost performance in real time

  • Development of key performance indicators (KPIs) and trend charts for data-driven decision making

By combining forecasting with continuous monitoring, we help contractors maintain strong financial control from project start to closeout.

Delay Mitigation & Project Documentation

Construction delays are common, but they don’t have to put your business at risk. Contracts require timely notice of delays, and when acceleration is not directed by the owner, contractors face the tough choice of either absorbing acceleration costs or risking liquidated damages.

👉 Review contractor rights under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Our experts support contractors by:

  • Documenting causes of delays and constructive acceleration

  • Preparing defensible evidence to protect against liability

  • Producing monthly project updates that clearly show the impact of scope changes, unforeseen conditions, and disruptions

With comprehensive project documentation, contractors can demonstrate entitlement and reduce the financial impact of project delays.

Construction Delay & Disruption Claims

Disputes over delays and productivity losses are among the most complex issues in construction. Our consultants use CPM schedule analysis to pinpoint causes of delay and prepare defensible documentation for claims.

👉 Learn about construction dispute resolution from the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

Our claims services include:

  • Preparation and defense of construction delay and disruption claims

  • Negotiation and resolution of disputes with project owners and subcontractors

  • Serving as independent neutrals in mediation and arbitration proceedings

As experienced construction delay claim experts, we combine technical knowledge with proven negotiation strategies to help contractors achieve fair, timely and cost-effective resolutions.
