Scheduling & CPM.
APSI builds CPM schedules owners and contractors actually use. Fully logic-tied, statused weekly, and built with the forensic discipline to survive a delay claim. Because most projects will face one eventually.
On the owner's side of the table.
Most schedules are wallpaper. Baselined once, approved, and never looked at again until something goes wrong. APSI's schedules are operational documents built with the actual builder's means and methods, statused every week, and audited every month. When a delay claim arrives, your defense is not the schedule. It is the discipline behind how that schedule was maintained from day one.
Sharad Mathur, APSI's VP of Controls, presented at the 2025 Western Winter Workshop on exactly this topic: how owners and program managers prevent the schedule overrun before it starts. That kind of recognized technical leadership is what you get when you hire APSI for scheduling. Not a service line we stood up last year.
Core Scheduling Capabilities
Logic-tied, resource-loaded P6 baselines built from the contractor's actual means and methods. Not a sequence copied from the specification. If the GC would not build it that way, the schedule does not reflect it.
Owner-side review before the GC's baseline is accepted, including DCMA 14-point assessment, logic checks, float analysis, and constraint validation. Catching a bad baseline at acceptance is worth ten times what it costs to fix one mid-construction.
Weekly status updates, monthly narrative reports, and look-ahead schedules tied directly to pay applications. The owner always knows what period of work was actually completed.
Prospective and contemporaneous TIA prepared to AACE standards. Written so a contracting officer, a board member, or a judge can follow the logic without a scheduling dictionary. We write for the decision-maker, not the expert witness.
Windows analysis, MIP, and as-planned vs as-built analyses for delay claims, REAs, and litigation support. Done in-house, not outsourced to a firm that has never been on a job site.
Multi-project master schedules with rolled-up milestones and interface management for large capital programs. When thirty subproject schedules need to tell one coherent story to the board, this is the work.
A repeatable, audit-ready playbook.
Develop or review the baseline schedule. Validate logic, durations, resources, and constraints against actual constructability before a single Notice to Proceed is issued.
Weekly progress capture tied to field reality and pay applications. The schedule reflects what was built, not what was planned to be built.
Monthly variance analysis, float erosion tracking, and critical path migration. Early-warning flags go to the owner before the milestone slips, not after.
When a delay claim arrives, the contemporaneous record is already built. We can issue or defend a TIA immediately because the scheduling discipline has been in place from day one.
Where we've done this work.
A $900K contractor claim resolved entirely on the strength of our schedule analysis. APSI's scheduling fee on the engagement was $70K. A 12.8x return on the owner's investment in scheduling discipline.
26 months of project records reviewed, 34 contractor-asserted delay issues evaluated, and $0 paid to the contractor at resolution. The contemporaneous record carried the position.
Master scheduling, estimating, and claims analysis support for one of the largest U.S. ports. Continuous scheduling support since 1992.
Program scheduling integrated with project controls across the $1.7B master plan.
Schedule leadership through a complex federal occupied-renovation.
Schedule strategy and TIA support through an occupied seismic retrofit.

- We can speak GC and we can speak owner. That fluency is what makes our time-impact analyses hold up when they are challenged.
- Scheduling is what we were founded to do in 1990. Three decades of CPM discipline, not a service line added to fill out a capabilities brochure.
- Our schedulers are recognized practitioners. Sharad Mathur led the 2025 Western Winter Workshop panel on schedule and cost overrun prevention. That is the level of technical leadership on your program.
- Forensic capability kept in-house. If a project goes to claims or litigation, the people who know the schedule history are the ones doing the analysis.
