Education Construction Scheduling

Primavera P6 baselines and monthly updates for general contractors on K-12, community college and university projects, plus independent schedule review for districts and bond programs. Summer windows and fall openings are built in as calendars, so the baseline is written to pass the district's reviewer the first time.

Why Choose CPM Pros

Why education programs
need specialist scheduling

Academic calendar constraints
School and university schedules must work around semesters, finals, and summer construction windows. We sequence construction to minimize disruption to students and faculty — with academic calendar milestones built into the logic as hard constraints that drive the critical path.
Phased campus delivery
Multi-building programs require careful coordination of utility tie-ins, campus access routes, and swing space. We manage the interdependencies across the full program — keeping individual building schedules integrated into a single master program the district or university can monitor in one view.
Bond measure accountability
Public agencies and boards need transparent, auditable schedule reporting. Our monthly narrative reports give the board, the bond oversight committee and the district's project team a clear picture of progress and risk, formatted for board meetings and bond oversight committees without requiring anyone to open P6.
Independent schedule review
We review GC and CM-submitted baselines for logic gaps, missing scope, and float manipulation — protecting the district's milestone dates, summer occupancy windows, and budget from schedule problems that should have been caught at baseline acceptance.
Delay defense and TIA analysis
When contractors claim delays on school programs — where missing a fall opening has real community consequences — we verify the CPM methodology and quantify the owner's concurrent delay to protect your position in claims and disputes.

Questions GCs and Districts Ask
The district's spec requires a Primavera P6 baseline after award. Can you build it for us?

Yes. General contractors send the schedule specification and the drawings; the baseline is built to the section the district's reviewer will check it against, with summer windows and the fall opening built in as calendars, and revised until the district accepts it. Monthly updates with a narrative follow on your pay application cycle.

How do you schedule around the school year?

Semesters, finals and summer construction windows go into the schedule as calendars and milestones that drive the critical path, so the work that has to happen while students are away is sequenced first. On multi-building programs, each building's schedule stays tied into one master program the district can follow in a single view.

Can you produce schedule reports for the board and the bond oversight committee?

Yes. The monthly narrative report is written for board meetings and bond oversight committees: progress, risk to the opening date, and what needs a decision, without anyone having to open P6.

What do you need to get started?

For a GC: the schedule specification, the contract milestones and the drawings. For a district or bond program: the contractor's current XER and narrative. Written quote with a firm price and delivery date, typically within 3 business days.

The summer window is the schedule. CPM Pros builds and updates it so the GC, the district and the board see the same dates every month.
