Why CPM Schedules Get Rejected
The clock is ticking. Is your CPM Schedule ready?
Construction can’t proceed and payments may be withheld without a compliant Critical Path Method (CPM) schedule in place. Contractors across the U.S. are facing costly delays due to:
Pre-construction meetings require an approved initial baseline CPM schedule.
Payment holdbacks tied to schedule update compliance.
Schedule rejections due to missing logic or contract milestones.
Owner frustration, added oversight, and delayed construction clearance.
Let’s get your initial baseline CPM schedule or schedule progress update reports approved, and keep your project moving forward.

What Our CPM Scheduling Services Include
We develop and maintain construction CPM schedules in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project, depending on your contract requirements, project complexity and required submission format. For software-specific detail, see our Primavera P6 scheduling services and Microsoft Project scheduling services.
- Specification review: We read your scheduling specification (for example UFGS 01 32 01, VA or state DOT requirements) before the first activity is built.
- Baseline CPM schedule development: Work breakdown structure, activity logic, calendars and contract milestones built from your drawings and execution plan. See baseline schedule development.
- Procurement and submittal integration: Long-lead items, submittals and approvals tied to the work they release.
- Cost and resource loading: Activities mapped to your schedule of values so billing follows progress.
- Monthly progress updates: Actual dates, remaining durations, a narrative and a critical path review every period. See monthly progress update support.
- Two- and three-week lookahead schedules: Short-term plans your field team can coordinate from.
- Recovery schedules and time impact analysis: Fragnets, narratives and exhibits for delay and time extension requests. See delay analysis and TIAs.
- Schedule review: An independent check of logic, float and milestones before you submit. See schedule review for contractors.
- Closeout: Final as-built schedule and closeout documentation.
Draft baselines typically arrive within 7 days and final baselines in 7 to 14 calendar days, for a flat fee quoted within 24 hours.

CPM Scheduling Results for Contractors
- Royce Construction Services, USACE West Point Public Health Project: USACE had rejected the original P6 schedule from the contractor’s former consultant. We revised the logic, delivered compliant TIAs and a report package formatted to UFGS 01 32 01. USACE approved the time extension and Pay App #14 was certified. “Our schedule was approved with no penalties, and payments continued.” (Jason Ruppert, Vice President)
- Kellogg & Kimsey, Residence Inn Ormond Beach: 25 consecutive monthly Primavera P6 updates. Our time impact analysis quantified 59 calendar days of owner-caused delay, and the 59-day extension of the TCO date was granted.
- V-Line Services, VA Administration Building, Gainesville, FL: Rejected Microsoft Project updates were rebuilt in Primavera P6. We delivered 14 monthly updates, and the March 2024 update forecast completion ahead of the approved substantial completion date.
- Hunt Builders, DartPoints CVG data center expansion, Cincinnati, OH: We developed the Level 3 and Level 5 Primavera P6 baseline program from scratch, cost-loaded it to the schedule of values, and maintain it with weekly updates. We also support the owner with monthly Microsoft Project updates aligned with the P6 schedule.

Experienced CPM Scheduling Consultants for Contractors
A CPM schedule is a contract document. On federal and state work, the owner uses it to approve mobilization, certify pay applications and judge every request for more time. On private work, it is how a general contractor coordinates trades, procurement and turnover. Leopard Project Controls provides CPM scheduling services for both, with PSP, PMI-SP and PMP credentialed schedulers.
As your CPM scheduling consultant, we start with the specification, not a template. USACE projects follow UFGS 01 32 01, VA and NAVFAC contracts add their own submittal rules, and each DOT sets its own update cycle. We build the work breakdown, logic, calendars and milestones to match, then tie procurement, submittals and cost loading to the activities they drive. The result is a baseline the owner can approve on the first submission and a structure your field team can update.
After approval, the work shifts to control. Monthly updates record actual progress, test the critical path and explain what moved and why. When an owner change or a differing site condition hits the schedule, a time impact analysis shows the effect on completion with a fragnet the reviewer can follow. Learn more about our delay analysis and TIA support and baseline schedule development.
Contractors bring in a CPM scheduling firm when they have no in-house scheduler, when a submission has been rejected, or when a claim needs a defensible record. Whether you need a one-time baseline or a scheduling company to carry the project through closeout, you get a flat-fee quote in 24 hours.

CPM Scheduling Services FAQ
How much do CPM scheduling services cost?
We quote a flat fee for the baseline and a flat fee per monthly update, based on the project’s size, complexity and specification. Send your documents and you get the quote within 24 hours.
How fast can you deliver a baseline CPM schedule?
We typically share a draft within 7 days and deliver the final baseline in 7 to 14 calendar days, depending on the project’s size and specification.
Do you work in Primavera P6 or Microsoft Project?
Both. We use whichever your contract requires and deliver XER, XML, MPP or PDF files. You do not need the software yourself.
Can you meet USACE, NAVFAC, VA and DOT scheduling specifications?
Yes. We build to your contract’s scheduling section, such as UFGS 01 32 01 on USACE work, and we revise the baseline until it is accepted at no extra cost as long as the scope does not change.
Our schedule was rejected. Can you fix it?
Yes. We review the reviewer’s comments, correct the logic, calendars and milestones, and prepare the resubmission with a narrative that answers each comment.
Will you keep our project information confidential?
Yes. We sign NDAs on request and limit access to the team working on your project.
What do you need to get started?
Your drawings, the scheduling specification and the contract milestone dates. If you have an existing schedule, send that too.
We’ll respond within 24 hours with a tailored plan so you can move forward without delay.
Ready to Get Control of Your CPM Schedule?
