P6 files your team can trust.
Primavera P6 scheduling done properly: activity codes, calendars, scheduling options, resource and cost loading, layouts and baseline control. A clean database means every report you pull tells the same story.
Messy P6 data hides the driver.
Calendars nobody checked
A five-day calendar on a weekend crew, or holidays left out. Dates shift and nobody can explain why.
Codes that do not roll up
Area, phase and responsibility codes applied unevenly, so filters miss activities and reports undercount the work.
Options left on default
Retained logic or progress override, longest path or total float. The wrong setting changes the critical path and nobody notices.
How we set up P6.
- 01
Settings chosen on purpose
Scheduling options, calendar rules and the float calculation set deliberately and written into the basis of schedule.
- 02
Codes that answer questions
Activity codes for area, phase, trade, responsibility and contract, so any view leadership asks for is one filter away.
- 03
Loading where it pays
Labor, equipment and cost loaded where it earns its keep, so histograms, curves and earned value come straight from the schedule.
- 04
Layouts people open
Saved layouts for look-aheads, critical and near-critical work, milestones and responsibility, shared across the team.
- 05
Baselines kept straight
Baseline and update copies named, stored and assigned correctly, so variance always compares against the right version.
What you walk away with.
Scoped to your project. Native files and plain-English outputs that stay yours when we leave.
Codes, calendars, settings and layouts built to your standard and ready for the people who will use it.
A short written standard for naming, coding, calendars and updates that every scheduler on the job follows.
Look-ahead, critical, near-critical, milestone and responsibility views, exported for reuse on the next project.
A recurring check for open ends, out-of-sequence progress and code gaps before any update leaves the building.
WBS, codes and logic fragments packaged as a starting point for the next similar project.
When to call us.
The earlier we see the schedule, the more options you keep.
A new P6 project is starting
Set the structure right on day one rather than rebuilding it at month six.
Your schedules do not agree
Each project codes differently, so a portfolio view is impossible.
The scheduler moved on
The file still updates, but nobody fully knows why it behaves the way it does.
New reporting requirements landed
The owner changed coding or submittal rules mid-job, and the live schedule has to absorb them cleanly.
Where this work has run.
Every project is confidential. Names describe the work, not the client.
Semiconductor · IllustrativeSemiconductor Utility Building Critical Path ReviewThe fab cannot start until its utility building is ready. Each month we check whether the reported critical path matches the work.
Power & Renewables · IllustrativeUtility-Scale Solar and Storage BaselineThree sites tied to interconnection dates set by the utility. The baseline linked each site to its utility milestone from the start.
Aviation · IllustrativeTerminal Concourse Renovation PhasingGates had to come out of service in a fixed order agreed with the airlines. The phasing schedule kept that order and still finished early.Straight answers to fair questions.
Can you work inside our P6 database?
Yes. We work in your environment or deliver XER files for import, depending on your access rules.
Do you convert Microsoft Project schedules to P6?
Yes, and we rebuild the logic and calendars that do not translate cleanly. A straight import rarely holds.
Retained logic or progress override?
Usually retained logic, because it respects the network. We state the choice in writing and show what it changes.
Can you train our people?
Yes. We run working sessions on your own project file, not on generic training data.
