We Facilitate the Planning, not just the Scheduling.
In an industry where schedule reliability can make or break a project, we’re often asked, “what sets Schlender & Associates apart from other scheduling consultants?”
Here’s the difference:
-
Collaborative Scheduling Expertise – We don’t build schedules in isolation. Our consultants engage the entire project team—GCs, subs, operations, and leadership—to develop a plan that reflects real-world experience, constraints, and proven strategies.
-
Live, In‑Person NTS Updates – Near‑Term Schedules are updated in real time with input from the team and subcontractors. That means instant feedback, instant alignment, and faster decision‑making.
-
Issues Are Solved During the Meeting – When challenges surface in the schedule review, we work through them collaboratively—with operations and subcontractors—so the team walks away with solutions, not just a list of problems.
-
24‑Hour Look‑Ahead Turnaround – Our clients move fast, so we do too. Near‑Term Schedules and look‑ahead updates are delivered within 24 hours or less, often same-day.
-
Visual Tools that Enhance Communication – Key Plans provide visual clarity, tracking progress, keeping everyone aligned on the dynamic construction process.
-
Experienced Facilitators, Not Note‑Takers – Our consultants have supported the delivery of 20,000+ multifamily units and solved thousands of multifamily‑specific risks and challenges. They actively facilitate planning, highlight risks early, and help teams prevent negative trends before they hit the jobsite.
Repeatable Solutions. Predictable Outcomes.
We don't just track the work. We help teams make a plan they can execute.
Most field-managed CPM schedules are updated inconsistently, difficult to understand, or disconnected from the realities of the jobsite. Our system creates repeatable processes throughout the schedule that focus on crew flow, not "crashing the schedule". We establish a disciplined, every-two-week update cadence with your field team to manage a schedule that the field actively uses to coordinate work, solve problems, and deliver projects more predictably.
Built with the Team, Not for the Team
By involving field leadership, project managers, and subs in the planning process, we create schedules that reflect real-world logistics and have the buy-in from the people responsible for executing the work.
Designed for Clear Communication
Our visual scheduling format transforms complex project information into a single-page roadmap that helps subcontractors quickly understand sequencing, trade flow, milestones, and upcoming priorities.
Driving Accountability and Action
Regularly scheduled near-term updates every two weeks, synced up with the field's weekly subcontractor coordination meetings, establish a consistent planning rhythm that keeps commitments visible, issues addressed, and the entire team focused on the path forward.
