RepOne offers full project life-cycle CPM scheduling services to construction managers, general contractors, planners, design professionals, owners, and subcontractors, including baselines, progress updates, Time Impact Analysis, Recovery Schedules, and Claim Schedules.
CPM scheduling criteria can be developed independently, or as a collaborative effort with your team. Once this criteria is established, the project logic is developed through due diligence design documentation review, and team resource coordination. Having team input and consensus is central to making the most of your investment in CPM scheduling both as a planning, forecasting, and forensic tool.
CPM scheduling offers the key to accountability when conducting delay and disruption narratives. The ability to accurately trace project logic empowers teams with the ability to determine cause and effect, and to make changes on the fly without disrupting the integrity of project logic.
It helps to have a seasoned industry veteran provide CPM scheduling services – one who has extensive field experience in diverse building sectors, including megaprojects and infrastructure, major medical, higher-education, light rail and transit, luxury residential and retail, commercial, and processing plants.
Such experience is what separates the practitioners from the theoreticians: the former has ‘been there and done that’ with his own two hands, whereas the latter can only approximate what it takes to prosecute given scopes of work. The most skilled scheduler has both vast hands-on industry experience, as well as expert level skills with scheduling platforms. That’s what RepOne brings to the table – the best scheduler for the job.

CPM baseline scheduling is the central nervous system for development of primary planning and project logic. It represents that to which all subsequent progress will be measured – including the basis for Time Impact Analysis, delay and disruption claims, and recovery schedules. It determines when resources, material, and equipment will be needed, and the order in which they must be prosecuted.
RepOne develops full-scope Level V Oracle Primavera CPM scheduling networks that represent the highest possible level of detail at the activity level. Highly developed WBS facilitate filtering that makes possible executive level roll-ups for the big picture, as well as individualized programs sorted by trade, area, floor, and resources.
Liquid flexibility in CPM scheduling is crucial to providing the ability to engage the project team to resequence work that has strayed from the baseline – a ubiquitous circumstance that is often ignored – much to the chagrin of project executives. A serviceable baseline allows big picture changes, as well as drill-down to the smallest details of resequencing, change order work, and project delays.
Resource loading of the baseline makes it possible to assign trades and personnel, and to detect over-allocation in the forward-pass, or look-ahead. RepOne offers a proprietary approach to resource loading that facilitates earned value analysis (EVA) studies that track work-in-place in real time.
RepOne is one of the rare CPM scheduling services that uses the Deltek Acumen Fuse platform to measure and validate project performance according to industry benchmarks, and which meet rigorous government standards. No other CPM scheduling platform performs this function in excess of the boilerplate DCMA 14 Defense Contract Management Agency, one of several metric assessment groups used by Acumen Fuse.
Investment in the baseline is critical to the CPM scheduling effort. If the baseline is flawed, it will be difficult to use it as a point of reference for forecasting the forward-pass. A faulty or insufficiently detailed baseline will preclude the ability to make a solid delay or disruption claim schedule, should the time come, as they are subject to be predicated on false premises.
