Construction Scheduling

Planning is of paramount importance in the success of construction projects. Only those who are sufficient in reading plans and executing construction activities are best suited for developing comprehensive Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling techniques.   Simply put, exceptional planning can yield a much greater amount of savings over a reasonable effort of planning. Conversely, poor planning can cost up to 30 percent more in cost overruns and can impact performance and owner occupancy.  A delay analysis and interpretation after the fact always costs the stakeholders in a construction project a great deal of time and energy.  Expert scheduler services are vital to the success of every project.

As a construction expert scheduler located in San Diego, Chris Lavache has built his scheduling experience from the ground up.  As a builder, General Contractor, and Construction Manager we can draw from over 35 years of field scheduling experience and delay analysis.  We have developed master schedules, scope of work changes and updates, evaluated schedule delays and claims, analyzed supporting documents, and performed as-built schedule analysis for delay and disruption claims for many types of projects.

Our services include schedule preparation and updates, expert scheduler analysis of change orders and schedule delays, delay analysis, document reviews and development of expert reports, litigation assistance, and expert scheduler testimony.  We have constructed and testified as scheduling and General Contractor experts for a variety of project types including:

A coordinated and exceptional planning effort of a construction schedule should convey a straightforward message through the logic and the text in the document.  Each schedule activity must rely on the workers production rate, product availability, and the physical site constraints so that, any individual, even those without construction experience, can comprehend those concepts easily.  The key goal is to show how the work progresses and how the relationships are shaped through the realities of using construction schedules in the field.
