CPM scheduling for Maryland federal, research and occupied-facility construction
We provide P6 baselines, monthly updates, independent reviews and delay analysis for contractors and owners across Maryland. Access, approvals, equipment, shutdowns, testing and operational turnover need to be tied to the work they govern.

Access, shutdowns and acceptance govern the finish
On federal, research and healthcare work, the last months of the job are rarely about construction alone. Equipment readiness, testing, commissioning and the owner's acceptance often decide the finish. We put them in the logic from the baseline on.
Badging, escorts and restricted deliveries
Workforce badging, escort availability, delivery inspection and limited work areas all take time. We schedule them as activities with lead times, not as assumptions buried in crew durations.
Shutdowns and temporary services
Utility shutdowns, temporary power and ventilation, and pressure relationships in occupied labs and clinical spaces need approvals and fixed windows. Each one is tied to the work it releases.
Equipment readiness and installation
Lab, medical and building system equipment moves through submittal, fabrication, delivery, setting and utility connection. Each step is linked to the room or system it depends on.
Startup, testing, commissioning and acceptance
Startup, TAB, functional testing, integrated testing and owner acceptance each get durations and logic. The finish date reflects the sequence the owner will actually sign off on.
Built to the section in your contract
Federal work in Maryland can fall under USACE, NAVFAC, VA or other agency specs, and each asks for different deliverables: cost loading, native XER files, SDEF export to RMS where required, specific narrative content and update dates. Research and healthcare owners often write their own. We read the incorporated section, build the submittal list from it, and set up the exports the contract calls for.

Monthly reporting Monthly
Updates statused against the field record, with the narrative, exports and cost loading the spec requires.
Independent owner review Owner
For agencies, research institutions and health systems: a written review of the contractor's baseline and updates.
Federal fragnets and TIA 52R-06
