When a project falls behind, the worst response is a prettier version of the schedule that already failed. DCESM builds recovery schedules in Primavera P6 that start from what has actually happened — demonstrated production rates, real remaining scope, the true critical path — and lay out realistic paths back to the date, each with its cost and risk. Contract-compliant, submittal-ready, and defensible in front of an owner or agency.
Booking takes you to our calendar — pick a time and we’ll call you to talk through your project. No charge, no obligation.
The current schedule audited first: broken logic, out-of-sequence progress, consumed float, and where the real critical path runs today.
What actually happened versus what was planned — quantified by activity, so the recovery plan starts from truth, not hope.
Concrete recovery paths — resequencing, trade stacking, crew loading, added shifts — each priced with its schedule gain, cost, and risk.
Recovery schedule built natively in Primavera P6 (.xer deliverables), maintained through progress updates until the date is secure.
Recovery schedules formatted to owner and agency specifications, including federal and DOT CPM scheduling requirements.
Three-week lookaheads that translate the recovery plan into what each trade does this week — so the plan leaves the office and reaches the field.
General contractors staring down liquidated damages, owners and developers whose completion date is slipping and who need a credible plan — not promises, and agencies or construction managers who need a contract-compliant recovery schedule submittal reviewed or produced on projects anywhere in the country.
DCESM is a Central Valley organization with 20+ years of hands-on construction experience, serving clients nationwide — on time and on budget.
Pick a time on our calendar and we’ll call you — a short, free conversation about your project and what a win looks like.
You get a clear scope and a rough estimate up front — work is then billed at an hourly rate, so you only pay for the hours it actually takes.
Clear, documented deliverables on a defined timeline — built to keep your project on time and on budget.
A recovery schedule is a re-planned CPM schedule showing how a behind-schedule project gets back to its required completion date — through resequencing, acceleration, or re-allocation of crews — while staying within the contract's scheduling requirements. Many contracts require one whenever the project falls a set number of days behind.
Yes — schedules are built and maintained in P6, with .xer files delivered so your team or the owner's scheduler can open, review, and update them directly. We also work in Microsoft Project when the contract calls for it.
A schedule health assessment typically lands within days of receiving your current .xer and progress records. A full recovery schedule follows based on project size — fast enough to respond to a cure notice or an owner's recovery demand.
Hourly, like all of our scheduling work. You'll get a rough estimate of hours up front based on the schedule's size and condition, then work is billed as it proceeds.
