CPM Scheduling Services
Reliable CPM Construction Scheduling Services for Streamlined Timelines and Successful Project Delivery
Delays, cost overruns, and miscommunication are some of the most significant problems in construction projects today. These issues often happen because there’s no clear plan or timeline to follow, and that’s where CPM Scheduling Services makes a real difference.
CPM scheduling is a trusted method in construction that helps find the most essential tasks, manage the timeline, and keep the team working together smoothly. Projects using CPM schedules are 30% more likely to finish on time than those without a clear plan.
At Prime Estimation, we provide Critical Path Method (CPM) Construction Scheduling Services that help keep your construction projects on track, on time, and within budget. General contractors, developers, and project managers widely trust our CPM services because they simplify complex workflows and clarify the construction schedule.

Key Components of a CPM Schedule
At Prime Estimation, our construction scheduling consultants break down every CPM schedule into its critical components:
- Tasks (Activities): These are the individual steps of a project, each with a start and end. Tasks must be completed in order and arranged on a timeline.
- Durations: This is the estimated time each task will take to complete. It can be in days, weeks, or months and helps track progress against the schedule.
- Dependencies: Some tasks rely on others to start or finish. These relationships indicate which work has to be done first and which can be done later.
- Critical Path: This is the longest list of activities that must be accomplished in time to keep the project on schedule. Any delay in any of these activities postpones the entire project.
- Float: The amount of time a task can be delayed without affecting the overall schedule. Tasks with float are flexible; critical path tasks are not.
- Earliest Start Date: The earliest task can begin based on its dependencies.
- Latest Start Date: The latest a task can begin without delaying the project.
- Earliest Finish Date: The earliest a task can be completed.
- Latest Finish Date: The latest a task can be completed without affecting the timeline.

Case Studies
1: Large Commercial Fit-Out – Baseline & Progress CPM Schedule
Client: Major developer for a 20-storey mixed-use commercial tower, Lahore
Project Scope: Preparation of a baseline CPM schedule and monthly updates for fit-out works (core & shell complete) including MEP, finishes, commissioning phases (approx. 220,000 ft²)
Challenge:
The developer had engaged multiple subcontractor trades (MEP, finishes, commissioning) arriving at different start dates, unclear dependencies and few formal deliverables for progress tracking.
Without a robust CPM schedule, the client risked delays in occupancy hand-over, coordination conflicts between trades and increased cost due to extended site idling.
The initial schedule logic was weak: task sequencing was ad-hoc, no clear critical path identified, and monthly updates were minimal or absent.
Solution by Prime Estimation:Conducted a full plan review of available drawings, contractor scopes and proposed calendars; identified major trade milestones and required linkages.
Developed a detailed baseline CPM schedule (in Primavera P6 / Microsoft Project as appropriate) showing all major tasks, durations, dependencies, inserted logic to identify the critical path and total float.
Incorporated look-ahead schedules, resource loadings and interim milestone checkpoints (e.g., completion of HVAC rough, fire-sprinkler testing, final finishes).
Provided monthly updates including updated network diagrams, float reports, critical path shifts, narrative explanations of delays plus corrective recovery logic.
Result:The hand-over date was achieved on target — the schedule showed only a 2% slippage from baseline despite changes in subcontractor start dates.
Coordination improved significantly: the client reported fewer trade-conflicts (e.g., finishes vs MEP delays) and reduced idle time for crews by approximately 15%.
The detailed CPM schedule became a communication tool: subcontractors and the client were aligned on milestone dependencies, reducing clarifications and RFIs by ~20%.
The schedule logic and monthly updates also supported the client when submitting an extension of time request: the clear critical-path and float analysis strengthened their position.
2: Industrial Expansion Project – Recovery & Delay-Analysis Scheduling
Client: Manufacturer expanding their production facility (warehouse + ancillary offices) ~50,000 m² in Faisalabad region
Project Scope: Mid-stream engagement where the project was already delayed ~8 weeks due to procurement and site-mobilisation issues. Work included civil, structural, mechanical installation, testing & commissioning. Prime Estimation was tasked with recovery scheduling + ongoing updates.
Challenge:
With 8 weeks lost, the client faced a compressed remaining schedule to meet their planned production start-up date.
No adequate recovery plan in place; the original schedule lacked realistic float, and subcontractors were not aligned on revised logic or time-impact analysis.
Without intervention, cost overruns from extended rental, idle crews and delayed production start were likely.
Solution by Prime Estimation:Reviewed the existing schedule, identified the lost period, and built a “recovery CPM schedule” incorporating crash logic, resequencing of tasks, and insertion of acceleration where feasible.
Conducted a time-impact analysis (TIA) showing how the delay affected the critical path, quantified the lost float, and proposed mitigation steps (e.g., overlapping tasks, early procurement of long-lead items).
Established a weekly update regime: each week the schedule was updated, critical path re-analysed, float movement tracked, and narrative of status provided to the client and major subcontractors.
Provided an “as-built” tracker post-installation to compare baseline, recovery, and actual progress; generated graphical S-curve comparison for cost/time visibility.
Result:The client met the production start-up target date — the recovery schedule brought the remaining scope back on track with only a +1.5 % extension of the original revised date.
Avoided estimated additional rental and idle-crew cost of approximately USD 90,000 by applying the recovery plan.
The time-impact data and revised logic also mitigated the client’s risk of loss in their contractual claim for the earlier delay, strengthening their position when engaging with contractors.
Subcontractor alignment improved: weekly update meetings driven by the schedule led to improved transparency, faster decision-making and clearer trade coordination.
