Construction Scheduling, Variation Analysis, and Delay, Quantum & Damages Support
Understand the schedule. Understand the change. Understand the consequences.
Stoneboy helps owners, contractors, project teams and construction counsel understand what was planned, what changed, what happened next, and what the project record supports.
Our PMD practice combines construction scheduling, variation analysis, forensic scheduling, quantum and damages analysis, and claims support across the project lifecycle — from baseline planning and project controls through recovery, claims and formal disputes.
We focus on one thing above all: making complex project information easier to understand, test and act upon.
Construction Scheduling
A construction schedule is more than a programme of activities. It is one of the principal tools used to plan the work, coordinate the project, measure progress, forecast completion and understand delay.
Stoneboy develops and manages construction schedules from tender and baseline through updates, recovery and re-baselining.
- Tender and bid schedules
- Baseline schedule development
- Detailed construction schedules
- Schedule updates and progress analysis
- Schedule specification compliance
- Recovery and re-baseline schedules
- Critical-path analysis
- Schedule Quality assessments
- Forensic scheduling
- Schedule reporting
Variation Analysis
Construction projects change.
The important questions are not simply whether a variation occurred, but: What changed? Why did it change? When did it happen? What did it affect? What time and cost consequences followed?
Stoneboy analyzes variations through their interconnected scope, time and cost consequences, supported by contemporaneous project records.
Scope Variation Analysis (SVA)
Understand what changed in the work, requirements, responsibilities or conditions.
Time Variation Analysis (TVA)
Assess how the change affected sequencing, critical activities, milestones and completion.
Cost Variation Analysis (CVA)
Understand the financial consequences associated with the variation.
Delay, Quantum & Damages Support
When projects become delayed, disrupted or disputed, the analysis must connect the technical record with the events that actually occurred.
Stoneboy supports counsel, owners, contractors and project teams with forensic schedule analysis, delay and disruption analysis, quantum and damages support, chronology development, claims review and technical dispute support.
We help turn fragmented project records into clear, evidence-based analysis that can support negotiation, claim preparation, mediation, adjudication, arbitration and litigation.
Schedule Quality Matters
A schedule can appear detailed and still be unreliable.
Before important decisions are based on a schedule — particularly in a delay or claims context — its underlying quality should be understood.
Stoneboy examines schedule logic, calendars, constraints, progress, out-of-sequence work, float, milestones, critical-path integrity and other characteristics that can materially affect the conclusions drawn from schedule data.
Our Schedule Quality approach applies both during project delivery, when weaknesses can still be corrected, and after problems emerge, when the schedule becomes important evidence.
Better Schedule Reporting with MS1000
Stoneboy developed MS1000 to improve how construction schedule information is communicated and understood.
Construction schedules can contain thousands of activities, relationships, dates and data points. Yet standard schedule outputs often make it difficult for non-schedulers to understand what has actually changed.
MS1000 turns complex schedule information into clearer, more decision-useful reporting around:
The depth of a professional schedule. The clarity needed to make decisions.
Novologic by Stoneboy
Professional judgment, connected project intelligence.
Stoneboy has developed Novologic, a construction-intelligence platform that connects project changes, schedules, cost impacts, decisions and supporting evidence in one project environment.
PMD brings the expertise. Novologic helps connect the project information behind it.
Clear Analysis. Better Decisions.
Whether Stoneboy is building a baseline schedule, reviewing a developing project issue, analyzing a variation or supporting counsel on a complex dispute, our approach remains the same: understand the project record, test the information, connect cause and consequence, and communicate the conclusions clearly.
