Why Choose CPM Pros

Why data centers
need CPM specialists

Power and cooling sequencing

Power, cooling, and IT infrastructure have strict interdependencies. Switchgear, generator and UPS deliveries are tied to the rooms that receive them, so a late vendor date shows in the next update while there is still time to resequence. We build the interdependencies into the baseline correctly, the first time.

Owner protection — independent baseline review

We review contractor baselines independently — catching float manipulation, missing scope, and unrealistic sequencing before it costs you schedule contingency and milestone dates. Our DCMA 14-point assessment gives owners a documented, defensible record of schedule quality at acceptance.

Monthly narrative reporting

Clear, concise monthly schedule reports that tell the board, the lender and the owner's team what is happening, what is at risk, and what action is needed — without requiring them to open P6. Built for board reporting, lender draws, and hyperscale program oversight.

TIA and delay defense

When contractors submit time impact analyses, we verify the methodology and protect your contingency and milestone dates. We quantify excusable vs. compensable delay and prepare the owner's position for negotiation or dispute resolution.

Fast turnaround — built for program pace

RFP bid schedules, peer reviews, and baseline analysis delivered in days — not weeks. Hyperscale programs move fast. We do too.

Questions GCs and Owners Ask

Do you schedule data center work for the general contractor or the owner?

Either, but not both sides of the same project. General contractors and electrical contractors hire CPM Pros to build the contract-required Primavera P6 baseline and run the monthly updates. Owners hire us to review the contractor's baseline and updates independently and to write the monthly narrative the board and the lender read.

How do you show switchgear, generators and UPS in the schedule?

Each piece of long-lead equipment is a chain in the schedule: submittal, approval, release, fabrication and delivery, using the dates the vendor actually committed. Each delivery is tied to the room that receives it, so a late vendor date shows in the next update while there is still time to resequence. Our long-lead equipment paper covers the lead times behind it.

What does the monthly narrative give the owner and the lender?

A written account of what is happening, what is at risk and what decision is needed this month, without anyone opening P6. It is built for board reporting, lender draws and program oversight, and it comes back within 3 business days of the contractor's update.

What do you need to quote a data center schedule?

For a general contractor or electrical contractor: the schedule specification, the contract milestones and the drawings. For an owner: the contractor's current XER and narrative. Written quote with a firm price and delivery date, typically within 3 business days.
