Learn how to interpret analysis results and implement corrective actions
High Risk
The project is very likely to miss the contractual completion date based on current schedule trends. Critical path is severely constrained, float has eroded significantly, or major logic breaks exist.
What to do:
- Immediately escalate to executive leadership and project stakeholders
- Demand recovery plan from contractor within 48-72 hours
- Schedule emergency meeting with GC and key trades
- Document all findings for potential claims or time extension requests
- Consider bringing in schedule consultant for independent review
Medium Risk
The project shows warning signs that could lead to delays if not addressed. Float is being consumed faster than expected, some activities are compressed, or procurement items are approaching critical path.
What to do:
- Increase monitoring frequency (weekly schedule reviews instead of monthly)
- Request detailed recovery strategies for at-risk activities
- Verify contractor's manpower and equipment commitments
- Track float consumption weekly and demand explanations for erosion
- Prepare contingency plans for identified risks
Low Risk
The project appears to be on track based on current schedule analysis. Adequate float exists, critical path is reasonable, and no major logic issues detected.
What to do:
- Continue regular schedule monitoring (monthly reviews)
- Track any minor issues identified to ensure they don't escalate
- Verify that schedule updates reflect actual field conditions
- Maintain documentation of schedule health for future reference
- Stay alert for changes in upcoming critical activities
The Key Observations section provides specific, measurable findings from the schedule analysis. These are the most critical facts you need to know:
Example Observations:
- •"Float has decreased from 15 days to 3 days over the last 30 days" — This quantifies the rate of schedule deterioration
- •"7 new activities added to critical path since baseline" — Shows how scope or delays shifted the critical path
- •"MEP rough-in compressed from 45 days to 28 days without adding crews" — Identifies unrealistic acceleration
Action: Use these observations as talking points in meetings with your contractor. They provide concrete, defensible data points that demand explanation and corrective action.
