3. Schedule Management, Planning & Recovery Strategies
Overview
Kestrel supports the development, validation, and management of project schedules from conceptual planning to detailed construction sequencing. When delays occur, we deploy targeted recovery strategies backed by real-world field experience to restore momentum without compromising quality or safety.
What This Service Includes
Review and validation of baseline schedules, ensuring logic integrity and realistic durations.
Development of integrated project timelines aligning design, procurement, and construction activities.
Look-ahead schedule oversight, monitoring short-term performance and identifying slip risks.
Analysis of critical path activities and schedule float erosion.
Creation of schedule recovery or resequencing plans when delays occur.
Stakeholder coordination to implement corrective actions, including trade stacking, sequencing adjustments, or alternative work plans.
Assessment of schedule impacts from design changes or unforeseen conditions.
Executive reporting on schedule status and risk exposure.
Why This Matters
Schedules often drift without disciplined oversight. Early identification of slippage and structured recovery strategies prevent cascading impacts that drive cost overruns or operational disruption.
Ideal Engagement Scenarios
Fast-track or compressed schedules
Occupied renovations requiring phased sequencing
Coordination of long-lead equipment, generators, elevators, MEP packages
Projects recovering from prior mismanagement
