Trust the schedule. Then verify it.
Independent review of contractor baselines and updates, so owners and lenders know whether the dates in front of them are real before they approve, pay or commit.
Why it matters.
You approve what you cannot check
Owners routinely accept baselines and monthly updates without anyone testing the logic underneath. Accepted schedules become contract evidence.
Optimism hides in the details
Compressed durations, missing ties, hard constraints and retained logic changes can make a late project look on time for months.
Late warning is no warning
A slip spotted at the last update before the deadline leaves no room to act. Recovery needs time, and time needs early truth.
How we work.
- 01
Baseline review
We test the contractor baseline against the contract scope, milestones and specifications before you accept it, and list exactly what needs to change.
- 02
DCMA 14-point health check
Logic, leads, lags, constraints, float, durations and resources checked against the DCMA 14-point assessment and AACE practice.
- 03
Update verification
Each monthly update compared with the last: progress claimed against the field, logic changes, duration changes and float movement.
- 04
Critical path and float trends
We track the critical path and near-critical paths period by period, and flag float erosion before it becomes a missed date.
- 05
Owner-ready findings
Clear, ranked findings with the contract language behind them, ready for your response letter or your lender’s monitor.
What you receive.
Every engagement is scoped to the project. These are the core outputs clients can expect.
Findings and required corrections before the baseline becomes the contract record.
Scored metrics with the specific activities behind every failure.
What changed between updates and whether progress matches the field.
Critical and near-critical float tracked over time, with the paths most at risk.
Plain-language conclusions and requested actions for the contractor.
Move-in weekend, held.
The student residence village had one date that could not move. Our monthly schedule audits caught a critical path slipping through the interior finishes months ahead of move-in, early enough for the owner to require a recovery plan and still welcome students on time.

Questions clients ask us.
Does a schedule review slow down approval?
No. We work inside your contractual review period and return findings fast enough for you to respond on time.
Is the DCMA 14-point check enough on its own?
It is a strong screen, not a verdict. We pair it with a review of scope, sequence and progress, because a schedule can pass every metric and still be wrong.
Do you work for lenders and investors?
Yes. We provide independent schedule assurance for lenders, investors and funders who need confidence in the completion date they are financing.
Will this damage our relationship with the contractor?
Done well, it helps. Clear, technical findings replace arguments with facts, and good contractors welcome a schedule both sides trust.
