Schedules Built to Withstand Owner, Agency, and Legal Scrutiny

HADVEN LLC develops every Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project schedule to one standard: it has to hold up under review by the toughest owner, the most demanding public agency, or an expert witness in a dispute proceeding. That is the baseline we work from on every project, whether the deliverable is a two-week baseline schedule or a forensic delay analysis reaching back years.

What Separates a Good Schedule from a Defensible One

Most schedules submitted on public works and federal projects are technically adequate but practically useless the moment a delay event occurs. Activity logic is loosely constrained, resource loading is nominal or missing entirely, and the narrative between schedule updates disappears into a PDF nobody reads until it's too late to matter.

HADVEN LLC builds schedules where the logic can be traced, the float is honest, the resource and cost loading reflect the actual plan, and every monthly update tells a clear story of what happened and why. When a change event occurs, or a dispute arises two years after closeout, you already have the record you need — not one you have to reconstruct under pressure.

CPM Scheduling Services

HADVEN LLC supports the complete project controls lifecycle, from bid-phase scheduling through forensic delay analysis at closeout or dispute resolution.

Baseline CPM Schedule

A complete, logic-driven project schedule developed from contract documents, subcontractor input, and site-specific sequencing requirements. Activity durations, predecessor/successor relationships, constraints, calendars, and critical path established and submitted for owner or agency review. Built in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project to the specification your contract requires.

Monthly CPM Updates

Statused schedule updates submitted on a monthly basis, reflecting actual progress, revised sequences, and any change events that occurred during the period. Each update is accompanied by a written narrative identifying the current critical path, float trends, delay causes, and anticipated impacts. Delivered in the format required by your owner or agency.

Resource & Cost Loading

Labor, equipment, and cost data tied directly to schedule activities, reconciled to contract value and crew plans. Resource and cost loading is what turns a bar chart into a tool for earned value tracking and accurate pay application support.

Recovery Scheduling

When a project falls behind schedule, a well-structured recovery plan is the difference between regaining control and continuing to slide. HADVEN LLC develops recovery schedules that present a realistic, executable plan with identified acceleration measures, revised sequencing, and resource additions — designed to satisfy the owner while remaining achievable in the field.

As-Built Schedule Development

Accurate as-built schedules reconstructed from daily reports, RFIs, submittal logs, and field records. The as-built is the anchor document for every forensic delay analysis and the reference record owners expect at closeout.

Time Impact Analysis (TIA)

A prospective or retrospective analysis that quantifies the schedule impact of a specific change event, RFI response delay, differing site condition, or owner-caused disruption. The TIA inserts the impacting event into the accepted schedule at the point of impact and demonstrates the resulting delay to project completion. Accepted by USACE, VA, Port Authority, Caltrans, and most public agencies as the standard method of delay quantification.

Extension of Time (EOT) Claims

Preparation of formal EOT claims for owner-caused or force majeure delays. HADVEN LLC documents the entitlement basis, identifies the period of delay, and produces the schedule analysis required to support the claim. EOT packages are structured to meet the format and level of detail expected by public owners, general contractors managing subcontractor claims, and legal counsel preparing dispute documentation.

Forensic Delay Analysis

Retrospective reconstruction of the project schedule record to identify, isolate, and quantify delay events after completion or during litigation. HADVEN LLC uses accepted forensic methodologies — windows analysis, collapsed as-built, impacted as-planned — selected based on the available project record. The output is a clear, documented narrative supported by schedule data that can be reviewed by a claims consultant, arbitrator, or court.

Progress Tracking & Schedule Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring of field progress against the accepted baseline, with early identification of slippage before it becomes a critical path issue. HADVEN LLC reviews percent-complete data, compares planned vs. actual logic sequences, and flags variance conditions requiring attention. Ideal for owners and construction managers who need an independent check on the contractor's schedule.

Primavera P6 & MS Project Support

Technical support for project teams using Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project — including database setup, activity coding structure, calendar configuration, report template development, and export formatting for agency submission. Also available for schedule training and quality review of internally prepared schedules before owner submission.

Federal, USACE, VA & DOT Scheduling

Federal and public agency scheduling comes with its own rules — coding structures, submission cycles, and review criteria that a commercial-only scheduler won't anticipate. HADVEN LLC builds CPM schedules that satisfy agency requirements the first time they're submitted, not after two rounds of rejection comments.

USACE Scheduling VA Scheduling DOT Scheduling Port & Transit Authorities Municipal Capital Programs

HADVEN LLC's federal and public agency experience spans infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and vertical construction programs, working directly for general contractors and construction managers, and, on independent review engagements, for the agencies themselves. Baseline schedules are built to survive the detailed specification review common on USACE, VA, and state DOT contracts, and monthly updates carry that same rigor for the life of the project.

That dual perspective — building schedules for submission and reviewing them for acceptance — is what allows HADVEN LLC to anticipate agency comments before they're written, and to prepare TIA and EOT documentation that agency reviewers recognize as complete on first read.

A Defensible Schedule Starts With a Consistent Process

Every CPM engagement follows the same disciplined sequence, whether the deliverable is a baseline schedule due in two weeks or a forensic analysis of a project that closed out two years ago.

STEP 01

Discovery & Document Review

Contract documents, drawings, specifications, and any existing project record are reviewed before a single activity is drawn, so schedule logic is grounded in what the contract actually requires.

STEP 02

Baseline Development

Activity logic, resource and cost loading, and coding structure are built in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project to the format your contract or agency specification calls for.

STEP 03

Monthly Monitoring

Statused updates, progress tracking, and narrative reporting keep the schedule honest and give early warning before variance conditions reach the critical path.

STEP 04

Analysis When It Matters

When delays or disputes arise, TIA, EOT, and forensic delay analysis are prepared from the same well-maintained record — ready for owner, agency, or legal review.

Deliverables & Quality Assurance

Every HADVEN LLC scheduling engagement ends with documentation your team, your owner, or your legal counsel can put to immediate use.

Native P6 / MS Project files (XER, XML, or MPP) plus a PDF export formatted for submission.

Written narrative reports covering critical path, float, variance, and delay causation each period.

TIA and EOT exhibits built for owner, agency, or legal review, with supporting schedule fragnets.

Schedule review reports documenting logic, float, and compliance findings with required corrections.

Agency-ready submission packages formatted to USACE, VA, and DOT coding and reporting conventions.

A single point of contact throughout the engagement, with every schedule and report reviewed before it reaches you.

CPM Scheduling, Explained

How long does it take to build a baseline CPM schedule?

Timeline depends on project size and contract requirements, but most baseline schedules are developed within one to three weeks of receiving contract documents and subcontractor input, leaving time for review and revision before the submission deadline.

Does HADVEN LLC provide monthly schedule updates on an ongoing basis?

Yes. Monthly CPM updates are one of HADVEN LLC's core recurring services, delivered with a written narrative on critical path, float, and delay causation each period for the life of the project.

What scheduling formats does HADVEN LLC support for federal and agency work?

HADVEN LLC builds and submits schedules in the formats required by USACE (including QCS/RMS), VA, Caltrans and other state DOTs, port authorities, and municipal capital programs.

Can HADVEN LLC prepare a TIA or EOT claim from a schedule it didn't build?

Yes. HADVEN LLC regularly performs forensic delay analysis, TIA, and EOT claim preparation on schedules built by other parties, reconstructing the project record from daily reports, RFIs, and available update files where necessary.
