Federal and waterfront construction scheduling for Hampton Roads
We provide P6 baselines, updates, schedule reviews and delay analysis for federal and waterfront construction across Hampton Roads. The schedule has to connect the contract requirements with the access, outage and operating conditions the work will actually be done under.

Operating installations and the water set the pace
On a base, an operating facility or a waterfront structure, the government and the water decide when much of the work can happen. The baseline needs those limits as logic, calendars and request lead times, not as padding hidden in durations.
Access and outage requests
Badging, escort scheduling, gate access and utility outages each run on a request process with lead times. We schedule the request, the approval and the outage window as linked activities, so a denied or moved outage has a measurable effect.
Operating-facility restrictions
Mission activity, restricted areas, quiet hours and work-hour limits set when crews can work. They go into calendars and constraints on the affected areas, so the schedule shows the real working time.
Marine access and equipment positioning
Barge and crane mobilization, positioning between work areas, tide-dependent tasks and mooring limits drive pile, deck and in-water sequences. Equipment availability and moves are tied to the work they support.
Environmental and weather restrictions
In-water work windows, permit conditions, wind limits on crane picks and the contract's weather provisions belong in the baseline. Updates then record what weather and restrictions actually took against what the contract anticipated.
Monthly reporting and forecast changes
Each update shows progress, remaining durations and how the forecast completion moved, with a narrative that explains why. That record is what a time extension request is built on.
NAVFAC, USACE and VA don't schedule the same way
NAVFAC's current section, UFGS 01 32 17.00 20, calls for native P6 XER deliverables. USACE work commonly follows UFGS 01 32 01.00 10, with SDEF export to RMS where the contract requires it. VA major projects under 01 32 16.13 require an independent CPM consultant and a Network Analysis Schedule. We build to the section incorporated in your contract, not a generic federal template.

From baseline acceptance to time extension
Pre-award spec reads, one-time baselines, ongoing updates or a defined change and delay engagement.
Spec-compliant baseline Baseline
Cost loading, submittal and outage request activities, and the file formats your section asks for. DCMA 14-point checks before the government review.
Monthly updates and narratives Monthly
Statused from daily reports and QC records, with the narrative and exports the contract requires.
Fragnets and time extension analysis 52R-06
For government changes, differing site conditions and suspensions: a fragnet modeled in the appropriate pre-impact update to measure the effect on the contract completion date.
REA support REA
The time analysis behind an REA, with cost support kept separate from the time calculation.
Forensic delay analysis 29R-03
When the dispute is about what already happened: retrospective analysis that addresses responsibility, concurrency and notice.
