Planning & Scheduling

Early planning helps identify constraints that can affect timelines, such as permitting delays, long-lead materials, and trade availability. Addressing these factors before construction begins reduces schedule revisions, minimizes disruptions, and supports more predictable project delivery.

A pre-construction schedule is prepared by reviewing the project scope, identifying key milestones, and sequencing work based on approvals, procurement timelines, and site conditions. The schedule is tested against real constraints to ensure activities are achievable and aligned before trades are mobilized.

Reliable scheduling requires a defined scope, preliminary drawings, permit timelines, inspection requirements, material lead times, and input on trade availability. Bringing these elements together early helps create a schedule that reflects how work will actually progress on site.

A well-structured schedule reduces cost risk by limiting downtime, avoiding trade stacking, and aligning procurement with site readiness. When activities are sequenced realistically, projects experience fewer delays, fewer change-driven costs, and better control over overall budget exposure.
