Every contract. One driving path.
Design, permits, procurement, every construction package and the owner’s own work, connected in one integrated master schedule. When one piece moves, you see what it moves next, before anyone has to tell you.
Programs slip in the gaps.
Ten schedules, ten versions of the truth
Each contractor reports its own dates. Nobody owns the handoffs between packages, and handoffs are exactly where programs lose months.
The owner’s work is off the books
Utility service, IT, furniture, equipment and licensing sit outside every contract. They still decide the opening date.
Green until it is red
The board sees a slide of green milestones until the month one turns red. By then the only options left are expensive ones.
How we integrate a program.
- 01
Map every handoff
Access, utilities, data, inspections, equipment: every point where one party hands work to another becomes a tied interface milestone with a named owner.
- 02
One coding standard
A shared WBS and activity code structure so every contractor’s schedule rolls up cleanly, with no retyping and no translation tables.
- 03
Link, never copy
Contractor schedules feed the IMS through controlled interface milestones, so the program updates monthly instead of being rebuilt by hand.
- 04
Find the program critical path
The longest path often runs through an owner decision, a permit or a utility, not through any one contractor. We show it plainly.
- 05
Report at every altitude
Activity detail for the controls team, package view for managers, one page for the executive committee. Same data underneath all three.
What you walk away with.
Scoped to your project. Native files and plain-English outputs that stay yours when we leave.
One logic-tied schedule across design, permits, procurement, construction, owner work and activation, updated every period.
Every handoff between parties with an owner, a need date and a status, reviewed in every monthly meeting until closed.
Coding, update and submittal rules written into each contract, so every schedule arrives in a form the IMS can use.
The real driving path across all packages, with float to each key milestone stated in days, not colors.
One page of milestones, trends and decisions needed, tied directly back to the detailed schedule.
Five miles of tunnel, one driving path.
A 5.2 mile stormwater tunnel at a 28 foot bore, delivered design-build over 56 months. Shafts, tunnel boring, utility relocations and the owner’s permits all feed one integrated schedule, so the program director sees each month which interface is driving the finish, and why.

Straight answers to fair questions.
Do our contractors have to change their software?
No. We set coding and submittal rules and integrate through interface milestones. Contractors keep scheduling the way they do today.
What size program needs an IMS?
Any program where more than one contract, or the owner’s own work, can delay the finish. The value grows with every party you add.
Can you take over an IMS already in place?
Yes. We start with a review of the current file, repair logic and coding, then run it month to month without a gap in reporting.
Our program has many similar projects. Is there a better rate?
Yes. Repeat or similar projects reuse the coding, interfaces and templates built for the first. Ask about a Program Rate.
