Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers before we begin.

Every project is different, but the questions we hear most often tend to center around our approach, services, project involvement, and how we help teams address schedule and planning challenges.

What types of projects do you support?

We support complex construction programs across a wide range of project types, including high-rise residential and mixed-use developments, institutional and cultural projects, healthcare and life sciences facilities, airports and convention centers, public-sector programs, heavy civil and infrastructure, and logistically constrained urban construction.

What services does Streamline Management Solutions provide?

Our services include project planning and advisory, CPM scheduling and project controls, delay mitigation and claims support, and expert analysis and testimony. Our involvement is tailored to the needs, complexity, and stage of each project.

At what stage of a project can you become involved?

We can become involved from early planning and preconstruction through active construction, recovery planning, close-out, and other critical project phases. Earlier involvement can help identify sequencing, planning, and schedule risks before they become more difficult to address.

Do you work directly with owners and developers?

Yes. We provide senior-level planning, scheduling, and advisory support to owners, developers, construction managers, and other project stakeholders depending on the needs of the engagement.

Can you help when a project is already behind schedule?

Yes. We can evaluate the current schedule, identify the key drivers contributing to delay, assess sequencing and constraints, and help develop recovery schedules and practical mitigation strategies.

What is CPM scheduling?

Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling is a planning and scheduling methodology used to establish activity relationships, identify critical and near-critical paths, track progress, and understand how changes and delays may affect project completion.

Do you only provide scheduling, or do you provide broader project controls support?

Our role can extend beyond schedule development and updates. Depending on the engagement, we provide broader project controls advisory support, including schedule analysis, risk identification, recovery planning, coordination, and decision-support for project teams.

How do you approach a new project engagement?

We begin by understanding the project's objectives, current conditions, schedule, constraints, stakeholders, and areas of concern. From there, we determine where planning and scheduling discipline can provide the greatest value and define an appropriate scope of support.

Can you work with an existing project schedule?

Yes. We can review and work within existing schedules and project controls environments, identifying logic gaps, sequencing issues, unrealistic assumptions, schedule drivers, and other conditions that may affect project performance.

Where do you provide services?

Our experience includes projects across the New York tri-state area and beyond. We support complex projects wherever planning, scheduling, and senior-level project controls expertise is needed.

How do we start a conversation?

Initial conversations are exploratory and focused on understanding your project's challenges, priorities, and constraints. Contact us to discuss your project and determine whether our experience and approach are a good fit.
