Win back the critical path.
Recovery schedules that find real days, not paper days. We test crashing, fast-tracking and resequencing against cost and risk, then give you a plan the field can build and a date leadership can announce.
Why recovery usually fails.
More crews on the wrong path
Acceleration money spent on work with float buys nothing. The finish is still decided by the path nobody accelerated.
Compressed on paper only
Durations cut in the software without a matching change in crews, shifts or sequence. The next update gives the days right back.
Fatigue and stacking
Too many trades in one area slow everyone down. A recovery plan that ignores stacking can lose more time than it saves.
How we recover time.
- 01
Establish the real position
An honest update first: verified progress, real remaining durations and the true critical and near-critical paths.
- 02
Find where days live
We look for days in logic, sequence, procurement and approvals before buying any with overtime or added crews.
- 03
Test every option
Crashing, fast-tracking, resequencing and scope phasing are modeled for days gained, cost and added risk.
- 04
Build it with the field
The chosen plan is sequenced with superintendents and trades, with crews, shifts and access that actually exist.
- 05
Track recovery weekly
Recovery milestones and float are tracked every week, so slippage in the recovery itself shows at once.
What you get.
Scoped to your project and delivered in native files your team owns.
A logic-tied recovery schedule with the crews, shifts and sequence needed to hit the new date.
Each recovery option with days gained, cost and added risk, side by side on one page.
What went wrong, what the plan changes and what it needs from each party, written for executives.
Recovery milestones, float and production rates every week, with early warnings flagged.
The cost of the recovery and how it relates to entitlement, ready for any later commercial discussion.
Most of the days were in the sequence.
A familiar call: the project is ten weeks behind and the first instinct is to add crews everywhere. When we model the options, most of the recoverable time sits in sequence and approvals, not overtime. Acceleration money goes to the one path that drives the finish, and the rest of the plan costs little.

Questions owners ask us.
How fast can you start?
A senior project controls lead replies within one business day. Recovery work starts with the latest schedule file and a short call.
Will a recovery plan affect our claim position?
It can. We document the recovery so that acceleration cost and entitlement stay clear. Our Delay Analysis & Claims team can work alongside.
Can we test options ourselves?
The Recovery Options Tester in our Controls Lab lets you crash, fast-track and resequence a sample schedule and compare the results.
