We build the schedule
We turn your drawings, specs, milestones, and team input into a baseline schedule.
Managed construction scheduling
Your construction schedule, handled.
CritPath builds the baseline, runs the updates, catches drift early, and develops recovery plans, so your project managers and superintendents can run the job without becoming schedulers.
How delays really start
The schedule rarely fails all at once.
It falls behind reality a few days at a time. Field conditions change. Updates wait. Small misses get explained away. Procurement and trade commitments keep following yesterday's plan.
By the time the monthly report shows a late finish, the least expensive recovery moves are gone.

How CritPath manages your schedule
One scheduling team, from baseline to recovery.
We keep it accurate
We collect progress, update dates and logic, and catch small misses before they compound.
We recover the job
We assess how delays affect the schedule and develop practical recovery options.
How it works
Your team runs the project. We run the schedule.
CritPath fits the way construction teams already work. No forms or new scheduling software for the field.
Your effortA quick field update by SMS or voice note.

The recurring deliverable
More than an updated Gantt chart.
A clear weekly package that connects schedule logic to decisions.

Native schedule file, updated logic, dates, and progress.
What changed
Critical-path movement, new constraints, and near-term risks.
What to do next
Clear actions for the PM, superintendent, and affected trades.
Recovery options
Practical ways to regain time, with tradeoffs made explicit.
WEEK 23 · ACTION BRIEFREVIEWED
Three decisions protect the current finish date.
01
Approve split inspection by Tuesday
Prevents a 3-day hit to drywall start.
02
Confirm switchgear release
Current lead time reaches the near-critical path this week.
03
Lock the framing recovery crew
One added crew protects the turnover sequence.
Why earlier matters
Schedule risk gets expensive fast.
CritPath helps teams surface schedule risk early, while there is still time to act.
“On our larger projects, a month of delay means six figures in general conditions.”
Built for the gap
Scheduling capacity without another full-time hire.
✓ For commercial and multifamily GCs running multiple projects
✓ For teams without enough dedicated scheduling capacity
✓ For project managers and superintendents who need the schedule to help, not create another job
✓ Human-reviewed, with native schedule files and a clear change record
Questions
What teams usually ask first.
Is CritPath software or a scheduling service?+
It is a managed scheduling service delivered by construction schedulers and purpose-built AI. CritPath owns the scheduling work; the software makes that work faster, more consistent, and easier to review.
What does our team still need to do?+
Your PM and superintendent provide project context, progress, and decisions. CritPath turns those inputs into schedule updates, impact analysis, and recovery options for your team to approve.
Can we keep using P6 or Microsoft Project?+
That is the intent. CritPath is designed to work with the schedule files and project workflows your team already uses instead of forcing the field into another complicated scheduling tool.
Can CritPath build a schedule from scratch?+
Yes, as a managed engagement. CritPath uses project documents, milestones, team input, reusable construction knowledge, and scheduler review to produce a defensible baseline.
How do you protect our project information?+
Project files are treated as confidential and used only to provide CritPath’s services. Access is limited to authorized team members working on your project. We do not sell your data or share it for marketing or unrelated purposes.
