The challenge

What is at stake.

Under progressive design-build, the schedule and price are set in stages. The utility has to accept each phase without its own scheduling staff, and the design-builder's schedule is the only one at the table.

Our role

What we are doing.

Beck Franklin's role: owner's schedule oversight. We advise and measure; the contractor builds.

01

Independent review

We review every schedule submission for logic, durations and constraints before the owner accepts it.

02

Membrane procurement

Membrane skid procurement and factory testing are tracked as their own path, because they drive start-up.

03

Phase gate input

At each price phase, we give the owner a written view on whether the proposed schedule is achievable.

04

Risk register link

Schedule risks are tied to the project risk register, so contingency discussions use the same data.

Progressive design-build works when the owner can test what it is being asked to accept. That is the role we play.
