Schedule structure and logic
Review calendars, constraints, relationships, activity coding and the basis of the schedule. Identify issues that affect the interpretation of critical paths and reported completion dates.
03 / Schedule and cost review
Establish whether the reported position is supported by evidence
Logic, critical paths, constraints, baselines and progress updates are examined against the agreed measurement rules and the underlying records. Cost and progress are reconciled to source, differences are explained, and unsupported figures are identified. Where the record is fragmented, the sequence of events is reconstructed from what exists.
Purpose & approach
A useful review makes its evidence visible.
Different reporting systems can tell different stories about the same project. We reconcile the available records, identify gaps and explain the assumptions that affect the assessment. The scope can focus on a specific reporting period, work package or wider controls environment.
Scope of support
What we do.
The service is tailored to the assignment. We agree the scope, required inputs and acceptance criteria before delivery.
Progress verification
Compare reported progress with agreed measurement rules and supporting records. Examine cut-off dates, actual dates and remaining durations to distinguish physical progress from administrative updates.
Cost reconciliation
Compare budget, commitments, actuals and forecasts across the available reports. Highlight differences in coding, timing, scope and treatment of change.
Delay and change chronology
Organise notices, instructions, schedule updates and site records into a factual sequence. Identify the available evidence and its limitations when examining time and cost impacts.
Consistency and traceability
Test whether reported performance can be traced to a source and reproduced. Document missing records, unexplained adjustments and items requiring clarification.
Findings and actions
Separate observations, assumptions and conclusions. Present prioritised actions with the information needed to close each issue and a clear record of the review scope.
Practical deliverables
Outputs the team can use.
- Schedule integrity findings
- Progress verification against measurement rules
- Cost and progress reconciliation
- Factual delay and change analysis
- Event chronologies
- Review of reporting assumptions and manual adjustments
- Prioritised corrective-action plan separating verified facts from assumptions and open questions

Make the interfaces visible.
A Level 4 Primavera P6 schedule of approximately 3 500 activities was developed for mechanical, electrical and commissioning work. The plan connected four parallel delivery paths within a one-year window.

Define the right assignment.
Can the review focus on one problem?
Yes. A review can address a specific milestone, work package, reporting discrepancy or change event, with the scope and evidence requirements agreed at the outset.
Does this service include legal representation?
The service provides technical and factual project-controls analysis. Any legal advice, legal conclusions or representation require a separate engagement with the appropriate adviser.
