RECOVERY & MITIGATION

Construction Recovery Schedule Services

Identify the controlling work, test practical mitigation options, and communicate a realistic schedule response when a milestone or completion date is at risk.

THE ASSIGNMENT

Recovery planning starts with the cause—not an artificial finish date.

A recovery schedule should explain what is controlling the forecast, which assumptions can change, and what operational actions are required. Simply compressing durations or adding constraints can create a date without creating a workable plan.

CorePath helps the project team test sequencing, access, workface, procurement, calendar, and resource options against the current CPM network. The recommended approach remains subject to the contractor’s operational approval and available resources.

TYPICAL DELIVERABLES

What the project team can receive.

01

Current-path diagnosis

Review of the updated schedule to identify controlling and near-critical work.

02

What-if scenarios

Side-by-side tests of agreed sequencing, calendar, duration, or resource assumptions.

03

Recovery schedule

A revised network that reflects the selected and operationally approved mitigation plan.

04

Milestone comparison

Clear view of current, target, and scenario dates for affected milestones.

05

Recovery narrative

Explanation of the issue, tested options, selected actions, assumptions, and remaining risks.

06

Near-term action plan

Focused activities and decisions that must occur for the mitigation plan to remain viable.

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.

01

Validate the current schedule

We confirm the data date, status, logic, and forecast before treating the model as a recovery baseline.

02

Find the controlling conditions

We trace milestone paths and isolate the work, approvals, procurement, or access conditions driving lateness.

03

Test agreed options

We model practical scenarios provided or approved by the project team and compare their schedule effect.

04

Document the selected plan

We prepare the recovery schedule, milestone comparison, narrative, and near-term actions.

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.

  • Current schedule status validated
  • Root causes and controlling paths identified
  • Mitigation assumptions approved by operations
  • Resource and access implications visible
  • Target dates supported by logic
  • Remaining risk documented
SERVICE FAQ

Questions before we start.

Start with the project situation. We’ll define the exact inputs and deliverables after reviewing the need.

Can a recovery schedule guarantee the completion date?+

No schedule can guarantee field performance. A recovery schedule models a defined plan and its assumptions so the project team can judge whether the path is realistic and manage it closely.

Do you decide the acceleration methods?+

We can identify schedule opportunities and test options, but field leadership must approve operational decisions involving crews, shifts, access, means and methods, and cost.

Can you compare multiple recovery options?+

Yes. What-if scenarios are useful when the team needs to compare different sequences, calendars, work areas, or resource assumptions before selecting a plan.

Do you need the approved baseline?+

The approved baseline, current update, and relevant progress information are highly useful because recovery analysis should be grounded in the accepted plan and current status.
