Roads & Highways

Road, highway and heavy civil scheduling

Phased MOT, utility relocations, weather and agency specs drive road and site work. We build and review P6 schedules for heavy civil GCs, subs and public owners, and analyze delay when a job ends up in dispute.

What drives the schedule

What drives a heavy civil schedule

Road and utility work is controlled by things outside the contractor's hands. The schedule has to carry them as real activities so their effect is visible.

01Phased MOT. Traffic phases and switches carried as activities, with the work each phase releases.
02Utility relocations and conflicts. Third-party utility work tied to the work it releases, so a late relocation shows its effect.
03Weather calendars. Seasonal and rain-day calendars, so total float reflects workable days.
04Quantity-driven durations. Production rates for earthwork, paving and pipe, so progress can be measured against plan.
05Agency reviews and permits. DOT or municipal schedule requirements, submittal reviews and permits.
06Crossings and interfaces. Railroad, drainage and adjacent contract interfaces that gate access.
Where time gets lost

Where heavy civil jobs lose time

+Unmarked utilities and differing site conditions
+Owner reviews and permits that run past the durations in the schedule
+Weather allowances, critical-path effects and the contract's float provisions
+Termination and liquidated damages exposure when the record is thin

How we help

Scheduling and delay work for heavy civil

01

Baselines built to the spec

P6 baselines to DOT or municipal requirements, with MOT phases, utilities, weather calendars and quantity-based durations.

02

Monthly updates with production tracking

Progress measured against planned production, with changes and conflicts documented as they happen.

03

Time impact analysis

TIA per AACE RP 52R-06 on utility conflicts, differing site conditions and owner changes measures the completion-date impact, with cost documented separately.

04

Forensic delay analysis

Delay analysis under AACE RP 29R-03, with the method chosen from what the record supports, even when that record is PDF prints.

FAQ

Questions we get on road and heavy civil jobs

Can you build a schedule to our DOT or city spec?
Yes. We build to the contract's schedule requirements, including MOT phasing, calendars, coding and submittal format.
We hit unmarked utilities. How do we document the delay?
Give notice under the contract first. We use the appropriate pre-impact update and supported event durations to measure the schedule effect, with cost documented separately.
How do you handle weather days?
Weather goes into the calendars up front. When it comes to a dispute, we compare actual weather to what the contract and calendars allow.
Our job is in another state. Can you still help?
Yes. Delay and claims work runs remotely from the schedules and project record. Recent work includes a contractor in New Mexico.
