Contract-aligned WBS
A clear structure organized around project phases, areas, trades, or required reporting levels.
BASELINE CPM SCHEDULES
Construction Baseline Schedule Development
Turn the contract scope and field plan into a defensible CPM baseline that connects milestones, procurement, submittals, construction, testing, and closeout.
THE ASSIGNMENT
Start the project with a schedule the team can execute.
The baseline establishes how the project team intends to meet contractual dates. It should show a complete path through preconstruction, procurement, field execution, inspections, testing, turnover, and closeout—not just the visible construction activities.
CorePath develops baseline schedules around the project-specific specification and the contractor’s intended means and methods. The result is coordinated with the team before it is packaged for review or owner submission.
TYPICAL DELIVERABLES
What the project team can receive.
Logic-driven CPM network
Activities connected through realistic relationships that produce traceable paths to milestones.
Procurement and submittals
Long-lead items, reviews, approvals, fabrication, delivery, and enabling work tied to construction.
Milestones and constraints
Contract dates, access dates, phasing requirements, and interim completion points represented and reviewed.
Submission layouts
Native file and clear PDF layouts organized for management review and contract submission.
Baseline narrative
Written explanation of approach, calendars, assumptions, sequence, critical path, and key schedule risks.
HOW THE WORK MOVES
A defined path from project need to usable deliverable.
The exact scope changes with the contract and available information. The working sequence stays transparent.
Extract the requirements
We review the scheduling specification, contract dates, scope, phasing, and required deliverables.
Plan with the project team
We capture the intended work sequence, production assumptions, access needs, procurement plan, and decision points.
Build and quality-check
We develop the network, calculate the schedule, and check logic, constraints, calendars, float, and milestone paths.
Review and issue
We incorporate project-team comments and prepare the agreed submission package.
QUALITY FOCUS
Checks that protect the usefulness of the schedule.
These are typical review points. Project-specific requirements are added from the contract and agreed scope.
- ✓Scope represented from notice to proceed through closeout
- ✓Contract and interim milestones included
- ✓Long-lead procurement connected to installation
- ✓Open ends and excessive constraints addressed
- ✓Critical path reviewed with the project team
- ✓Submission reports match the specification
SERVICE FAQ
Questions before we start.
Start with the project situation. We’ll define the exact inputs and deliverables after reviewing the need.
How detailed should a baseline schedule be?+
The right level of detail depends on the contract, project size, update cycle, and how the team will manage the work. We use the project specification and management needs to define it.
Do you include procurement and submittals?+
Yes, when they affect the construction sequence or contract requirements. Long-lead procurement should connect logically to the work it enables.
Can you revise a rejected baseline?+
Yes. We can review owner or consultant comments, trace the affected schedule areas, and scope the required corrections.
What information is needed first?+
The fastest start is the scheduling specification, contract dates, scope documents, planned sequence, key subcontractor input, and the submission deadline.
