North and South Carolina

CPM scheduling and delay support across the Carolinas

We provide P6 scheduling, independent reviews and delay analysis for GCs, subcontractors and owners across North and South Carolina. The schedule has to show how areas release, crews move and procurement supports the work.

Written scope and flat fee. Quote back within one business day. Remote across both states, on site when it counts.

Where Carolina schedules break

Repetitive work hides delay until it stacks up

Multifamily and other repetitive jobs look simple on a bar chart. Floor 2 follows floor 1, building B follows building A. The trouble is that one late release ripples through every trade behind it, and by the time it shows on the completion date the trades have already absorbed it.

01

Repetitive floor and building sequences

We schedule the typical floor or building with real trade handoffs, then track each location separately. When one floor runs long, the update shows which trades lost their flow and who released late.

02

Dry-in and predecessor releases

Dry-in and predecessor work can control interior releases. We identify the readiness requirements for each trade and tie them to the activities they govern, so a late dry-in shows its effect on every trade downstream instead of looking like slow electricians.

03

Changed access and crew flow

When areas open out of order, crews jump between floors, remobilize and work around other trades. We document the planned flow against the flow you actually got, which is the starting point for both a time and a productivity question.

04

Compressed durations and extended time on site

Late starts with a fixed finish squeeze your durations. Late starts with a moving finish keep you on site longer. Often it's both. We show which one hit you, in which period, and what the GC directed. How schedule compression works →

Time and productivity

Time and lost productivity are separate questions

A time impact analysis answers how much time a change or delay cost against the completion date. Lost productivity answers how much more labor the same work took because of it. They use different records and different methods, and we keep them apart so neither double counts the other. Cost support is built separately from the time analysis.

What we deliver

Support for the GC, the trade and the owner

SUBS

Trade schedule protection

Independent review of the GC's schedule against your scope, update-by-update tracking of your durations and float, notice support, and a TIA when the sequence changes under you. Electrical, fire alarm, mechanical, plumbing and fire protection.

Subcontractor schedule protection →

GCs

Baselines and updates

P6 or Microsoft Project baselines built to the contract, with location-based logic for repetitive work, and monthly updates with a narrative the owner can follow.

Scheduling for GCs →

OWNERS

Independent schedule review

A check of the contractor's baseline, updates and recovery plans before you accept them or approve time.

Owner schedule review →

Federal work in either state is scheduled to the section in your contract. See federal scheduling →

North Carolina work

Multifamily trade work in North Carolina

Both projects are in North Carolina. A sample, not a full list. Names withheld, references on request.

Electrical sub

Electrical subcontractor, Charlotte, NC

Schedule and delay evaluation on a multifamily project, focused on the sub's exposure. Reviewed contract milestones and durations and tracked the record as delay was pushed down to the trades.

Electrical & fire alarm

Electrical and fire alarm subcontractor, Chapel Hill, NC

Stalled multifamily project. TIA on building dry-in and predecessor delays, plus review of the resequencing and acceleration that followed.

Carolinas FAQ

Questions from Carolina contractors and owners

Dry-in slipped but the GC still holds us to our original durations. Is that a delay?
It can be, if your work was tied to dry-in and the area wasn't released when the schedule said it would be. We check the logic between dry-in and your activities, compare the planned and actual release dates, and measure what the late release did to your path and the completion date. Notice under your subcontract still matters, so get it out early.
Can you separate a time extension from lost productivity?
Yes, and we keep them separate on purpose. Time comes from the schedule analysis. Lost productivity comes from labor and production records, often a measured mile comparing affected work to unaffected work. Mixing them invites double counting and makes both easier to attack.
Do you work in South Carolina?
Yes. We take work in both states, done remotely from the contract, schedules and project records, with site visits when the job needs them. The project examples on this page are both in North Carolina.
We're a GC with a multi-building job. Can you build the baseline?
Yes. We build a typical sequence once, apply it across buildings or floors with the right handoffs, and add the site, utility and inspection work that ties it together. Each trade gets activities at the level they report progress, so the updates stay honest.
Do you handle federal schedules in the Carolinas?
Yes, built to whatever scheduling section is in your contract. Some call for cost loading, NAS formatting or an SDEF export to RMS, others don't. Our federal background is USACE and VA work outside the Carolinas, and we don't assume a requirement the contract doesn't include.
