Request for Proposals & Preconstruction Schedules

Sunrise Consulting and Scheduling is a reliable partner for developers and contractors seeking to secure new projects. Our team works closely with clients to understand their objectives and provide expert advice. We collaborate with clients at the executive level to identify the schedule logic that will determine how the project will be executed.

Our approach ensures that clients have a clear and accurate understanding of the project’s timeline, logistics, and constraints. By providing clients with realistic timelines and contingency plans, we help them to better meet their commitments.

Baseline Schedules

Baseline schedules are a fundamental aspect of project management serving as a blueprint for how a project should progress over time. Sunrise Consulting and Scheduling thoroughly reviews the construction documents, site constraints, historical and market trends. Upon completion of our review we develop a detailed project plan and create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) that breaks down the project into more manageable tasks. While outlining all of the activities we identify long lead items and set milestones which are used throughout the project life cycle to benchmark field progress.

While creating the baseline schedule, our team works closely with the project team and stakeholders to identify all of the tasks that need to be completed. Our process promotes the involvement of all team members and ensures that everyone has a shared understanding of the expected project timeline. By having a clear understanding of when each task is expected to be completed, team members work more effectively together and anticipate any potential roadblocks.

With Sunrise Consulting and Scheduling’s expertise in baseline schedule development, project teams can focus their time on the actual project instead of getting bogged down by scheduling software and resource planning. This allows for a more streamlined and efficient project management process, ultimately leading to a higher quality end product. Trust in our team’s ability to deliver superb service and free up your time to focus on what really matters – the success of your project.

Schedule Progress Updates

After the baseline schedule is established and approved as the project schedule, Sunrise takes responsibility for monitoring and updating the schedule throughout the project’s lifecycle. Our team of experts regularly meet with your project team to review progress, identify any potential deviations from the schedule, and adjust the schedule accordingly.

In addition to maintaining the project schedule, Sunrise Consulting and Scheduling provides a comprehensive suite of documents that help you manage your project effectively. These documents include detailed reports that track the progress of your project, capturing all relevant information to ensure accurate reporting. This level of reporting enables your team to make informed decisions about the project’s status and take appropriate action to mitigate any potential risks.

Our team of experts works with your project team to ensure that the schedule is always up-to-date, reflecting any changes to the project timeline, and providing your team with timely updates on the project’s progress.

Master Planning

Managing and coordinating multiple schedules from various stakeholders can be a complex task on projects. Sunrise Consulting and Scheduling has expertise in unifying often-conflicting data into a master schedule that can be controlled and managed throughout the project lifecycle. We begin by analyzing all project documents to identify all relevant schedules. Then, we import these diverse schedules into a single database to create a comprehensive view of the project’s timeline. We also define the project’s goals and objectives, identify the resources needed to achieve those goals, and create a roadmap for the project’s execution.
