Richmond and Central Virginia

CPM scheduling for Richmond healthcare, institutional and commercial projects

We provide P6 scheduling and independent reviews for GCs, subcontractors and owners across Richmond and Central Virginia. Baselines, monthly updates and delay analyses connect the construction work with the reviews, access and owner decisions that affect completion.

What drives the schedule

Occupied buildings, owner rules and owner decisions

On a hospital, campus or public building job, the work that controls completion often isn't construction. It's the shutdown approval, the owner's equipment, the review cycle and the area handover. If those aren't in the logic, delay from them is hard to measure later.

01

Shutdowns and temporary services

Every tie-in, outage and temporary service switchover gets a request lead time, an approval activity and a fixed work window. When an outage gets bumped, the update shows what moved with it.

02

Campus and facility operations

Patient care, class schedules, events and move-ins limit when and where crews work. We model those limits as calendars and constraints on the areas they affect, not one blanket assumption.

03

Phased handovers

Each phase carries its own inspections, punch, owner move-in and release of the next area. The next phase doesn't start on a date. It starts when the last one is actually turned over.

04

Submittals and owner decisions

Design clarifications, finish selections and owner sign-offs carry the review durations in the contract. A late decision shows up on the work it holds, not as a vague slip at the end.

05

Owner-furnished equipment

Imaging, kitchen, IT and medical equipment the owner buys still has to arrive on time. Delivery, setting, connections and vendor startup are separate activities, so a late OFE item is visible as its own event.

Owner-written contracts

Notice and reporting by the owner's rules

Health systems, universities and public agencies often write their own scheduling and notice language. Update formats, narrative content, notice windows and time extension procedures all vary. We read those clauses first, set up the update cycle to match, and tie each delay event to the schedule when it happens. Notice and the time request don't get reconstructed months later.

What we deliver

Schedules for contractors, oversight for owners

Different buyers need different things from the same schedule.

Baselines for phased work Baseline

Phases, outages, OFE and owner reviews built into the logic, so the baseline reflects how the building actually goes back to the owner.

Updates in the owner's format Monthly

Statused against the field record, with a narrative written to whatever the owner's spec asks for.

Independent owner review Owner

For health systems, campuses and public owners: an outside read on the contractor's baseline and updates, with written comments.

Time impact analysis 52R-06

A fragnet for the change or late decision, modeled in the appropriate pre-impact update to measure its effect on completion.

Trade schedule protection Subs

For MEP and specialty subs: logic and float review of your scope and a record of changed access and resequencing.

Forensic delay analysis 29R-03

After the fact: what delayed the job, who owns it, and whether concurrency or notice changes the answer.

Richmond FAQ

Questions we get on Central Virginia work

Can you schedule a hospital renovation where departments stay open?
Yes. We break the work into phases and areas, add the shutdowns, infection control setup and temporary services each one needs, and tie the next phase to the actual handover of the last. A delayed release then shows up as a delay, not as lost float nobody can explain.
The owner wrote its own scheduling spec. Can you work to it?
Yes. We build the baseline and updates to the owner's format and review cycle, whether that means a specific narrative, cost loading or a fixed update date. Where the spec is silent, we follow AACE RP 91R-16 practice and note it in the narrative.
We're the owner. What does an independent review cover?
Logic, constraints, durations and whether the baseline matches the contract milestones and phasing. On updates, we check reported progress against the record and flag critical path changes. You get comments you can send to the contractor.
The owner's equipment showed up late. How do we show the impact?
If the OFE delivery and setting are in the schedule as their own activities, a TIA can insert the actual delivery and measure the effect on completion. Whether the time is excusable or compensable still depends on the contract, notice and any concurrent delay on your side.
Do you need to be on site in Richmond?
Most of the work is done remotely from the schedule files, contract and field records. We come on site when a walk, an OAC meeting or interviews need it, and that is scoped up front.
