Independent Schedule Reviews
Objective, senior reviews of baseline and update schedules for owners, lenders and sponsors who need confidence in the dates they are relying on.
Know whether the schedule holds before you accept it.
When a contractor submits a baseline, how do you know it is sound? Owners routinely accept schedules they cannot evaluate, then learn in the delay claim that the logic was open-ended, durations were compressed or the critical path ran somewhere it should not. The accepted baseline becomes the yardstick for every argument that follows.
Our independent reviews test logic, structure, realism and compliance with the contract specification in native files. We validate the critical path, assess float and risk, and tell you plainly whether the schedule can be relied on, and what must change if it cannot. Comments go back to the author in a form they can act on, so the next submission is better.

Technology we work in
Platform-fluent and vendor-independent. We work inside your environment, or recommend the one that fits.
What changes when we arrive.
Not activity. Results your board, your lenders and your teams can feel.
Baselines accepted only when they have earned it.
Clear comments that raise the quality of contractor schedules.
No flawed baseline left to weaken the owner later.
What leaders ask us first.
Straight answers. If yours isn't logged here, raise it with us directly. A principal will respond.
Why does accepting a flawed baseline matter?
Because the accepted baseline becomes the reference for measuring delay and entitlement. A flawed one can undermine the owner's position in any later dispute.
How quickly can you review a schedule?
Most baseline reviews take one to two weeks. Monthly update reviews are typically returned within days of the data date.
Do you need the native schedule file?
Yes. XER, XML or MPP files are essential. A PDF hides the logic, the constraints and the float.
