For General Contractors · Outsourced P6 Scheduling · Nationwide
CPM Pros is the outsourced Primavera P6 scheduler for small and mid-size general contractors. We build the contract-required baseline (~7 business days, revisions until approved), keep the monthly updates flowing (3-day turnaround), produce bid schedules that score (2–3 days), and document delays before they become liquidated damages. Every deliverable comes with an expedited written quote — a firm number and delivery date — you never buy P6, never hire a scheduler, and always know the price before we start.
The Situations We Solve for GCs
Work can't officially start and the first pay app won't process until the owner approves a compliant CPM baseline. We build it from plans and specs — USACE, DOT, federal, or private.
~7 business days Baseline schedule →On design-build and CMAR pursuits the schedule is scored before your price is opened. A logic-driven P6 Gantt signals credibility a bar chart never will.
2–3 days Bid & RFP schedules →Missed or rejected updates mean withheld payments and increased oversight. Send progress; get back the updated XER and a clean narrative in 3 business days.
3-day turnaround Monthly updates →We fix the logic, constraints, and spec compliance, and prepare the resubmittal with comment-by-comment responses — in 3–5 business days.
3–5 days Schedule rescue →The plan you submit either protects you or commits you to the impossible. We build a credible, executable recovery documented to hold up under scrutiny.
~5 days Recovery schedule →Time extensions without CPM support get denied — and unrequested extensions are waived. We build the fragnet or TIA that proves your delay.
Scoped · phased delivery Delay & TIA support →Owners pay CPM Pros to review contractor schedules. Attorneys hire us to reconstruct them in delay litigation. That's exactly why the baseline we build for you gets approved: we know what reviewers flag — open ends, constraint abuse, float games, spec misses — because flagging them is our other job.
Fifty years of scheduling on hyperscale data centers, hospitals, airports, and transit corridors. Your $4M tenant improvement or $15M school addition is not the job that scares us.
Questions GCs Ask
Yes. Our schedulers carry the credentials and the résumé — the same people serve as scheduling experts in construction disputes. Reviewers recognize the difference immediately.
Yes — agency coding, cost loading, narrative requirements, and DCMA 14-point thresholds are standard work. Agency-spec baselines price at the top of the range for the added QA; turnaround is the same.
No. We deliver the native XER plus PDF Gantt and narrative from our own P6 environment. You get exactly what the contract requires without the $3,000+ seat or the training.
A small fraction of a staff scheduler — who runs $60,000–$130,000 a year plus a $3,000+ P6 license. Scheduling is professional hourly work scoped per deliverable, with a firm written quote before we start; ask for the project-year number in your quote.
2–3 business days on most pursuits: compliant XER, formatted Gantt, narrative, and milestone compliance matrix. Tell us the bid date and we work backwards from it.
Expedited written quote — a firm number and delivery date, typically within 3 business days. Talk to the scheduler, not a salesperson.
