Forensic Scheduling
Reconstruction and analysis of as-planned and as-built schedules from the project record, with every finding traceable to its source.
Rebuild what actually happened, one traceable date at a time.
Some projects reach a dispute with neglected updates, scattered records and two incompatible versions of events. Forensic scheduling recovers the truth from what remains: daily reports, meeting minutes, correspondence, photographs, inspection logs and pay applications, assembled into as-planned and as-built schedules analyzed under AACE International and SCL Protocol methods.
Our forensic schedulers are deliberate and exacting. A reconstruction is only as credible as its weakest date, so every date we rely on is referenced to evidence in a source database the other side can inspect. Where the record is silent, we say so rather than fill the gap with assumption.

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.
A reliable history even where records were imperfect.
Every conclusion traceable, so it survives challenge.
Complex chronologies made understandable.
What leaders ask us first.
Straight answers. If yours isn't logged here, raise it with us directly. A principal will respond.
What if our schedules were never properly updated?
We reconstruct the as-built from other project records and choose an analysis method that suits the evidence that exists. Poor updates make the work harder, not impossible.
How long does a forensic reconstruction take?
It depends on project scale and record quality. Focused analyses often take a few weeks; major disputes can take several months. We give a staged estimate after an initial record review.
What is AACE 29R-03?
AACE International Recommended Practice 29R-03, Forensic Schedule Analysis: a widely recognized framework that classifies forensic scheduling methods and how they should be applied.
