Project Success
In the world of construction management, the construction scheduling consultant assesses the project as well as the overall program to forge a plan. The consultant informs the entire process from the design phase through the construction phase and the forensics after everything is said and done.
The construction scheduling consultant becomes an integral part of the construction project’s success by offering advice and experience on what may have been overlooked along the way. The consultant focuses on risk mitigation from quality and cost management to time management.

Our approach to construction project management has always been the board-room ready consultant with boots on the ground at the construction site. We are hands-on both on and off the construction site. Our clients gain a construction scheduling consultant who understands the concerns and goals of all stakeholders, from the owner to the project lead and the prime contractor. We keep our clients’ bigger picture in mind always.
Here are the top five reasons our clients call upon us for construction scheduling consulting.
Uniqueness of project.
No matter how many construction projects we have managed, every project has its unique goals and challenges. All projects require a unique approach. We always consider the overall construction program as well as the integrant details. We mitigate risks and foresee trends and challenges. At any given time and during any construction phase, we monitor the progress and results of the construction project, timelines, and results. We understand that change is inevitable and success is in adjusting and adapting the schedule in real-time.
Anticipating needs.
Our clients’ risk management starts in the design phase and often comes down to the needs and unknowns. We join their team early on during project planning to understand the project and analyze its needs. Through a forward-thinking approach, our team creates a plan and consequent schedule to fill in any anticipated needs. We onboard our clients to a highly customized software that flags any potential challenges and risks.
Managing out of scope.
It is common for construction projects to go out of scope. While it might be inevitable, ideally we can plan and schedule ahead to anticipate potential consequences. We advise our clients in best practices to keep the construction project running smoothly despite any challenges. We mitigate risk of quality, management, and time management. We help manage the stakeholders’ expectations and mediate as needed. Communication is most important.
Forensics risk management.
During the post construction phase, the forensics are an essential part of understanding how the construction project progressed. Our clients look to us to inform any potential claims, out-of-scope billings, and dispute reporting. Legal proceedings can be avoided by laying out a comprehensive timeline of events and the costs associated with any delays or challenges that were unforeseeable.
Customized software solution.
AEC has always taken a technology-forward approach to construction. Construction project management software brings much-needed technology to the construction site and digitizes the process. It helps bridge the gap between the boardroom and the events that happen on the ground. All stakeholders have access to the latest real-time information that supports the current construction phase.
The construction scheduling consultant is the back office to manage the construction schedule while keeping the goals of the program in mind. Mitigating risk is always the biggest concern for any major construction project. A niche service like AEC Construction Management ticks off the top priorities in scheduling to mitigate as much risk as possible.
