Contractor Services.
Continuous consulting support for contractor leadership teams.
Planning Management.
Projects can have tens of thousands of activities that must be correctly scheduled. Sometimes, some of the most important activities (including Provisional Sums) are entirely missing from a schedule. With lots that can go wrong, the impact of delays and disruptions can be pervasive.
CMA considers a baseline schedule as a management tool, not just a contract requirement. We help contractors interrogate the reasonableness of activity durations and are able to carry out adjustment to productivity rates due to the nature and location of the work.
Often, the critical path is calculated accurately, but is not logical, and we help find out why.
We also monitor float deterioration and establish trends, and ensure that your subcontractors’ schedules are free of bias.
An approved baseline schedule is used as a basis for a credible time extension. It is also used as a basis for loss of efficiency claims.
More importantly, a credible baseline schedule is a prerequisite to the generation of a cash flow to determine the project cash needs in order to establish lines of credit and also to calculate the cost of financing.
