Engineering and construction
Work scheduling in Quebec, New Brunswick, the N.W.T. and Nunavut
Good planning is key to delivering a project. JPC Consultants inc. provides work scheduling in Quebec City and across Quebec, from the initial schedule to its follow-up.
Our approach
Clear schedules and a realistic work sequence
We prepare your schedules using various software, including MS Project, and we organize the work sequence.
Scheduling takes into account site constraints, work methods and resource availability. A realistic schedule helps every stakeholder know what to do, and when.
Support can cover setting up the initial schedule as well as following it throughout the project. The schedule is then revised based on actual progress.
We work alongside your teams and internal processes. Agreed deadlines and fees are met.
A well-built schedule also makes cost estimating and stakeholder coordination easier. It shows everyone the dates that matter and the steps that depend on their work.
- Schedules with MS Project
- Activity sequencing
- Milestones and deadline tracking
- Constraint analysis
Understanding
What is a construction schedule for?
A schedule places each activity in time and shows the links between them. It shows what must be finished before the next step, and which activities can move forward in parallel.
The critical path is the group of activities that set the end date. A delay on any one of them delays the whole project. Identifying it lets you focus effort where it counts.
As work proceeds, the updated schedule compares actual progress with the original plan. You see differences quickly and can react before they add up.
A realistic schedule takes into account site constraints, work methods and resource availability. It becomes a shared tool for all stakeholders, rather than a document no one reads.
