Primavera P6 Scheduling Services for Construction Projects

Baseline schedules, updates and recovery schedules built in Oracle Primavera P6, with clear logic, realistic durations and a critical path you can manage.

Project Scheduling

Schedules That Owners Accept and Crews Can Follow

Many public and large private contracts require a detailed schedule in Primavera P6, often within days of the notice to proceed. A weak schedule can lead to rejected submittals, delayed payments and disputes later. Our Primavera scheduling services produce schedules that meet contract specifications and reflect how the project will really be built.

We build each schedule from your scope, estimate and construction approach, with activities linked by logic rather than fixed dates. Durations are based on quantities and realistic crew production, which keeps the schedule believable for owners and useful for your field team.

Because we also prepare cost estimates, schedules can be cost-loaded or resource-loaded directly from the estimate when your contract requires it.

Who Needs Primavera P6 Schedules

General contractors working on public, healthcare, education and infrastructure projects often need P6 schedules to meet contract terms. Owners and program managers use them to track progress across large projects, and subcontractors use them to coordinate their work with the overall plan.
