Project Schedule Quality Assurance

Bulletproof P6 Schedules for $1 B+ Mega-Projects
Oil & Gas · Mining · Rail · Infrastructure

Stop flying blind. Our forensic-grade QA turns your Primavera P6 schedule into a predictive weapon—catching logic traps, resource bombs, and float thieves before they cost millions per day.

Why Mega-Projects Bleed Without QA

SymptomCost
Missing logic → false critical path+90 days delay
Overallocated rigs/welders$2–5 M idle
No locked baselineClaim rejected
Hard constraints hiding float$50 M dispute

Our QA Process – 6-Phase Lockdown (P6 Native)

  1. Integrity Scan – Schedule Log + 32-point audit
  2. Logic Repair – Zero open ends, no SF, lags ≤5 d
  3. Resource Leveling – Global crews, rigs, cranes
  4. Baseline Fortification – Approved, locked, cost-loaded
  5. Risk Injection – Monte Carlo P80 contingency
  6. Live Dashboard – CPI/SPI, 3-week look-ahead, EVM

Deliverable: Clean .xer + red-flag report + executive heat-map in 48 hours
