Miami and South Florida

CPM scheduling and delay analysis for South Florida construction

We provide P6 baselines, monthly updates, independent reviews and delay analysis for GCs, subcontractors and owners across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. High-rise, mixed-use, hospitality, healthcare and occupied-building projects need schedules that connect procurement, structure, enclosure, trade flow and turnover.

Written scope and fee, quote back within one business day. Remote for the analysis, on site when needed.

Why South Florida

Vertical, coastal and driven by procurement

South Florida schedules are won or lost in the vertical sequence and the envelope. Structure cycles, hoist time, envelope approvals and fabrication, and floor-by-floor finish trains all have to line up, often next to or inside an occupied building. Hurricane season sits on top of all of it.

01An envelope package that slips in approval or fabrication can hold interior work on every floor behind it
02One late trade on one floor pushes every trade behind it. The update shows where the slip started
03Occupied buildings and shared systems belong in the logic, not in the narrative after the fact

High-rise and mixed-use

Tower schedules built around the floor cycle

The schedule that matters on a tower is the repeating cycle. We build it, track it floor by floor and flag when a slow cycle starts eating total float on the levels above.

01

Structure cycles, cranes and hoists

Pour cycle, shoring and reshoring, crane picks and hoist time are shared resources. We model them so trade starts above the deck reflect the crane and hoist plan, not optimistic overlap.

02

Floor releases and inspections

Rough-in, inspections and close-in run floor by floor. We track the release of each floor to the next trade, so a held inspection shows on the floor where it happened.

03

Vertical transportation

Permanent elevators drive hoist removal, the last enclosure work at the hoist and turnover. The elevator path gets its own logic through inspection and acceptance.

04

Mixed-use interfaces

Residential, hotel, retail and parking often share structure, risers, life safety systems and fire alarm acceptance. We schedule the shared systems so one component's turnover doesn't quietly depend on another's.

Envelope and procurement

Envelope approvals, fabrication and area readiness

On most South Florida towers, interior work waits on dry-in. The envelope path starts long before the first panel shows up.

01Approvals. Windows, curtain wall, storefront, doors and roofing on HVHZ projects need approvals demonstrating compliance with the applicable HVHZ requirements. We carry submittal, approval and resubmittal as activities with realistic review durations
02Fabrication and delivery. Shop drawings, mockups and testing where specified, fabrication and shipping are their own activities, with logic to installation by elevation or floor
03Installation releases interior work. Dry-in by floor releases drywall, finishes and conditioned space. We link those releases to actual installation, not the planned cycle
04Actual area readiness. When the envelope runs behind, we update to what is actually dry and released instead of assuming every floor follows the original cycle. That keeps total float honest and shows which trades were held
Occupied renovations

Renovations inside buildings that stay open

Hotels keep selling rooms and hospitals keep seeing patients. The schedule has to carry the operating constraints, not just the trade work.

01

Hospitality

Room blocks, public areas and amenities taken out of service in an agreed order, quiet hours and guest routing, temporary back of house, and phased turnover to the operator.

02

Healthcare

Patient access and infection control, utility shutdowns approved by the facility, temporary services and phased handover of departments. Each shutdown is an activity with its own approval lead time. Healthcare scheduling →

03

Phased handovers

Every handover is a milestone with a defined scope. When the owner delays a move-out or a shutdown approval, the next phase start moves and the update shows why. Change order TIA →

Restoration and repairs

Restoration and occupied-building repair scheduling

Concrete restoration, balcony and facade repairs and recertification repairs in occupied condos rarely keep their original scope. The schedule has to absorb that and still show what changed.

01Scope that grows as you open up. Investigations and openings turn up more deterioration than the estimate assumed. We schedule repair quantities by area so added scope shows as added time with a source
02Resident and unit access. Unit entry, balcony access, notice periods and association coordination drive the sequence. We carry them in the logic
03Material approvals and protection. Repair materials, coatings and replacement windows or doors need approvals before install. Protection, shoring and swing stage moves get their own durations
04Inspections and changing sequences. When the engineer's inspections or a revised repair approach changes the sequence, we update the logic and document the effect
Scope of our role

Scheduling support, not engineering

We schedule the work and document time. We do not perform structural or milestone inspections, design repairs or certify buildings. That stays with the engineer or architect of record.

Owners and subcontractors

What owners, GCs and subs use us for

OWN

Owners and developers

An independent review of the contractor's baseline and updates. Logic, constraints, cycle assumptions and reported progress tested against the field, with findings tied to activities.

Owner schedule review →

SUB

Subcontractors

Changed floor access, compressed durations, out-of-sequence work and extra months on site. We document each one against the GC's schedule so your notice and any request for time rest on the record.

Subcontractor scheduling →

GC

General contractors

A baseline the owner will accept, updates that hold up to review, and the schedule record behind each change request.

GC scheduling support →

South Florida FAQ

Questions we get from South Florida contractors and owners

Do you cover Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach?
Yes. All three counties, remote for the analysis and on site when the job needs it. We are based in Central Florida.
Our curtain wall package is late. How do we protect our time?
Get the submittal, approval, fabrication and delivery activities into the schedule with logic to installation. When the package slips, a TIA per AACE RP 52R-06 measures the effect on completion and whether it was on the critical path. Notice under the contract still has to go out on time.
Do you perform milestone inspections or recertification?
No. Inspections, structural assessment and certification belong to the engineer or architect of record. We schedule the repair work that follows and document how changes in scope, access and sequence affect time.
Did you schedule the MIA South Terminal Expansion?
No. That role was project engineering and change order support on the contractor's team: establishing added scope from RFIs, field changes and bulletins, pricing, sub RFPs and change order proposals. Our airport scheduling experience is the Florida intercity rail program at MCO.
The GC keeps changing our floor sequence. What should we track?
Planned versus actual floor access dates, crew moves and remobilizations, and any compressed durations. Tie them to the GC's updates and send notice as the contract requires. That record is what a request for time or cost stands on.
