Mapping it Out

A Master Plan to Achieve the Project Schedule

The schedule, the glue that holds all the parts in place, is carefully developed incorporating all of the activities, relationships and required milestone dates for the work of all trades. Construction activities are resource loaded, allocating estimated values for cost, materials and manpower resources.

Keeping you apprised of the schedule status is paramount. Following final client approval, the schedule serves as the baseline to track the progress of construction and the overall percentage of work completed. Updates to the project schedule are prepared at regular intervals using daily field reports, progress photos and subcontractor schedule submissions. Updates are provided monthly, or as required by our clients.

Work in the field is continually monitored by Structure Tone and through regular reporting required of each subcontractor. Progress is measured on each activity, and the schedule updated based on remaining durations required to complete each task at the level of productivity achieved to date.

Schedule performance is a mandatory topic at all project coordination and progress review meetings with subcontractors and is proactively managed.


I have worked with Structure Tone for the past two years to renovate approximately 500,000sf of office space within three buildings. The crucial part to succeed was during preconstruction. A well thought out schedule and logistics plan was the key to our success because a large portion of the renovation project was completed while the space remained occupied. The project team has been excellent and performed each phase without disruption to our employees or daily activities. I look forward to working with Structure Tone on our future projects.
