What your team receives
P6 files, clear narratives, and focused questions for your team. These examples cover monthly updates, baseline checks, and time-extension analysis.
01 / Monthly update · remaining work
Remaining duration21 to 42 workdays
What changed. The remaining duration doubled on an activity already in progress.
Actua prepares. A recalculated P6 forecast and narrative explaining the confirmed work plan and any effects on milestones.
Your PM confirms. Remaining quantities, crew plan, and energization prerequisites with the electrical subcontractor.
02 / Monthly update · work sequence
Revised handoffOverlap to finish-to-start
What changed. The previous schedule allowed rebar to overlap layout and formwork. Revised logic requires that work to finish before rebar starts.
Actua prepares. The checked handoff in P6, downstream forecast dates, and narrative explaining the confirmed sequence and its reason.
Your PM decides. Must the predecessor work be complete, or can released areas allow the crews to overlap?
Before the first submittal
The example contract requires Engineer approval for construction activities over 20 workdays, plus narrative justification.
Actua checks existing approval and prepares an activity breakdown or supporting justification as needed. Your superintendent confirms the installation sequence, work areas, and crew production supporting it.
Retrospective delay analysis / Illustrative excerpt
Utility conflicts, traffic-control approvals, and revised construction sequencing were assessed using an earlier schedule and actualized delay information from a later submitted update.
Actua prepares. P6 comparison models, an event chronology, the explanation of concurrency and recovery, and a technical narrative for a time-extension request or response.
Your PM provides. Schedule updates, change correspondence, field records, and confirmation of the actual work sequence.
Adapted from an owner-side response-letter draft supporting a time-extension recommendation.
