Master Schedule Development - This overall schedule identifies the major project components and identifies when significant owner related activities or milestones are anticipated to occur.

Development of Scheduling Specifications - DACM Project Management believes in developing strong provisions of the scheduling specifications so that the architect, construction manager and owner have the most accurate and current information regarding construction progress.

Construction Schedule Development - We recommend development of a construction schedule which validates the anticipated construction contract duration and allows for accurate progress tracking.

Contractors Schedule Analysis and Review - Upon receipt of the construction contractor proposed baseline schedule, DACM Project Management will review the document relative to practicality of construction, standard construction processes and compliance with the contract documents. Upon acceptance of a baseline schedule, updates will be reviewed to verify that proper scheduling techniques are being utilized.

Schedule Impact Analysis - In the event of changes or delays during the construction process, DACM Project Management will evaluate the true impact on the construction progress critical path and project completion date.

Progress Evaluation and Reporting - As construction proceeds, DACM Project Management will monitor construction activities and evaluate construction progress for progress payment verification purposes.

As-Built Schedule Development - On complex construction projects, DACM Project Management recommends maintaining a detailed as-built construction schedule. This schedule represents a detail portrayal of how construction proceeded, why delays occurred and is coded to indicate the cause and responsibility for a delay or out of sequence construction. Frequently, this schedule is developed after-the-fact through the review of project documents and forensic scheduling.

As-Should-Have-Been Schedule Development - For projects on which a detail CPM schedule was not developed prior to or during the construction process, or in instances when the project schedule did not accurately reflect the contractual scope of work, this type of analysis can prove useful in negotiations or claims situations. To resolve delay causation issues, DACM Project Management will review project documents and develop a schedule which reflects the manner in which the project should have been constructed, based on documents and data which existed at the time of construction contract award.
