Project Controls

The Schedule
Is a Commitment.
We Protect It.

CCAD's project controls services connect the BIM environment to the schedule — treating coordination milestones as schedule-driving events and giving GCs and owners the visibility they need to make decisions before delays become defaults. From baseline development through delay analysis, we manage the schedule as the construction tool it's supposed to be.

Why Project Controls Matters

A Schedule Without
Controls Is Just
a Wish List.

Most construction schedules are built once, baselined, and then ignored until someone asks why the project is late. CCAD builds schedules that are actively managed — updated against actual progress, linked to the BIM model, and used as a daily decision-making tool by the project team.

When CCAD manages both coordination and controls, the model and schedule stay synchronized. Coordination milestones drive the critical path. Field teams know exactly where the model needs to be, and the schedule reflects it.

Build it right

A CPM schedule built around actual construction logic — not wishful durations.

Link it to the model

4D BIM integration makes the schedule visible, spatial, and actionable.

Update it honestly

Regular updates against actual progress — no optimism bias, no schedule padding.

Recover it fast

When delays hit, we diagnose, compress, and rebuild — before they compound.

Project Controls Services

CPM Scheduling

Development and maintenance of Critical Path Method schedules — baseline development, logic review, activity coding, and ongoing update cycles. We build schedules that reflect how the project will actually be built, not how someone hopes it will go.

Schedule Recovery

When a project falls behind, we diagnose the root causes, identify float opportunities, develop compression strategies, and rebuild the schedule around a credible path to completion. We've recovered schedules others declared unrecoverable.

4D BIM-Linked Scheduling

Connecting the BIM model to the project schedule using Synchro 4D — creating visual construction sequences that expose logistical conflicts, validate phasing decisions, and give every stakeholder a shared, three-dimensional understanding of how the project delivers.

Progress Tracking & Reporting

Regular schedule updates against actual progress — percent complete, earned value indicators, critical path analysis, and look-ahead schedules. Owners and GCs get clear, honest reporting on where the project stands versus where it needs to be.

Earned Value Analysis

Integrating cost and schedule performance into a single earned value framework — measuring SPI, CPI, and project forecasts to give owners and project executives an accurate picture of both schedule and budget performance.

Risk Analysis & Mitigation

Quantitative and qualitative schedule risk analysis — identifying the activities and sequences most likely to cause delays, modeling risk scenarios, and developing mitigation strategies before the schedule absorbs the impact.

Delay Analysis

Expert analysis of schedule delays for claim support, dispute resolution, or project recovery — including contemporaneous analysis, but-for scheduling, and time impact analysis (TIA) across complex multi-prime project environments.

BIM-Enabled Execution Planning

Integrating BIM coordination milestones directly into the project schedule — ensuring the model stays ahead of the field, coordination deliverables are built into the critical path, and VDC activities are treated as schedule-driving events.
