CPM scheduling in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project
Baseline schedules, monthly updates, lookaheads, and schedule reviews for general contractors, from the same person who prices the job.
Why PenCo
A scheduler who also builds estimates
Most GCs need a solid schedule on every job but don't have enough work to keep a full-time scheduler busy. PenCo can build the schedule, keep it updated, or review the one you already have.
Chris Pendleton has spent 12+ years working for general contractors and developers on complex commercial and federal projects, building and maintaining CPM schedules from preconstruction through closeout. He has created baseline schedules in Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, kept them current through monthly updates and recovery planning, and used them to price general conditions and support bids and negotiated proposals. That work includes a $207 million LEED convention center and a ~$3 billion federal pilot plant, along with multiple commercial GC project types. Because the same person builds the estimate, the durations, crew sizes, and general conditions match the number you carry.
Services
Scheduling services
Updates
Schedule updates & monthly reporting
Actual dates and remaining durations entered each period, the critical path checked, and a short narrative on progress, slippage, and what's driving the finish date.
Review
Schedule review
A second look at a sub's or GC's schedule before you accept or submit it: missing logic, open ends, hard constraints, unrealistic durations, and spec compliance.
Field
3-week lookaheads
Short-interval schedules pulled from the master schedule so supers and foremen know what's coming, what's needed, and who should be on site.
Recovery
Recovery & acceleration schedules
When a job falls behind, a revised plan to get back to the contract date: resequencing, added crews or shifts, and what each option costs.
Cost
Schedule & estimate integration
Cost-loaded schedules tied to your estimate or schedule of values, and general conditions priced from the real project duration.
