Construction Planning · Scheduling · Project Controls

Mega-project scheduling discipline, scaled to your project.

RCK Consulting brings the planning rigor of $3B+ in built work — One Beverly Hills, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, LAX, Yas Theme Park — to general contractors, developers, and owners who need senior-level scheduling and controls without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Services

Three disciplines, one integrated practice.

Most schedulers do one of these well. RCK does all three — because schedules without controls drift, baselines without analysis can't defend a claim, and project management without either is just optimism.

01

Planning & Scheduling

Defensible CPM schedules built and maintained by a senior planner. From contractually-required baselines to working schedules your superintendents will actually use.

  • Baseline schedule development (P6 / MSP)
  • Cost- & resource-loaded schedules
  • Critical path & float analysis
  • Look-ahead & pull plans
  • Monthly schedule updates & narrative
02

Project Controls

Cost, schedule, and risk integrated into one reporting layer. Know where the project actually stands — not at month-end, after the surprise has already cost you.

  • Earned Value Management (EVM)
  • Risk register & quantitative analysis
  • Budget & cost controls
  • Executive dashboards & reporting
  • Change & variance tracking
03

Delay & Claims Analysis

Forensic schedule analysis that holds up. Time Impact Analyses, fragnets, and what-if modeling prepared to AACEI and industry standards — for entitlement, recovery, or defense.

  • Time Impact Analysis (TIA)
  • Fragnets & what-if modeling
  • Window & as-planned-vs-as-built
  • Schedule recovery strategy
  • Expert support for claims & mediation
Sectors

Hands-on across the markets that actually move the needle.

Direct, in-the-field experience across nine sectors — from luxury hospitality to international airports, billion-dollar healthcare, and bridges over open water.

Approach

Embedded with your team. Senior from day one.

Big-firm schedulers are expensive, junior, and rotate off your project mid-update. RCK is the opposite: one senior planner, embedded in your team, accountable for what the schedule says and what it means.

Talk through your project
i.

Senior-led, never handed off

The person you hire is the person doing the work. No analyst handoffs, no offshore review desk, no learning curve on your dime.

ii.

Defensible, not decorative

Every schedule is built to withstand owner review, audit, or claim. CPM logic, narrative, and basis-of-schedule documented from day one.

iii.

Tools-agnostic

P6 for one project, MS Project for the next, Smartsheet or a clean spreadsheet for a third. The schedule serves the project — not the reverse.

iv.

Fractional & flexible

Full-time engagements, fractional retainers, or one-off scopes (baseline, TIA, recovery plan). Scaled to what the project actually needs.
