Defensible delay analysis.
Built by a working forensic analyst.
Twenty-four years of project controls. Twenty of them inside nuclear and energy programs where the schedule is a regulator-facing document, not just a deliverable. The same discipline, applied to your delay claim, or to the one filed against you.
For construction lawyers
Delay claims defence and expert disclosure, with forensic methodology built for Ontario admissibility (Mohan, White Burgess) and Daubert scrutiny. Windows analysis, collapsed as-built, concurrency, rebuttal exhibits, all from one chain of custody.
For construction lawyers →For contractors and owners
EOT substantiation, owner-side schedule QA, retroactive baseline detection, claims preparation. AACE 29R-03 windows analysis, SCL Protocol notice review, built for the matter.

Find out if the schedule is on your side.
Before you commit to a forensic spend, get an honest read on what your schedule can actually prove, whether you are bringing the claim or defending against one. If the answer is weak, you have saved a retainer, and you will hear it straight.
Send your schedule files
Send the Primavera P6 baseline and each progress update you have. The more of the update history, the sharper the read. If all you have is a single file, send that. The form takes .xer, .xml, or .zip, up to 100 MB per file, 200 MB per submission, and 25 files.
One analyst runs it and reads it
The files get a screening pass through the same engine used in retained work, and the analyst reads the result. No junior staff, no canned answer, no automated verdict.
Get a clear verdict
Within a few business days you get a one-page read on what the schedule can support, where it is weak, and what evidence would still be needed to close the gap.
One analyst. One engine. One chain of custody.
The engine does the calculation. It parses every activity and relationship, compares each schedule update with the one before it, and runs the delay methods. The same inputs produce the same outputs every time. AI tools, working under the analyst, handle the sequencing and the first drafts.
The analyst does the judgment: what the numbers mean for the claim, which findings can be defended under cross-examination, and which delay events matter. The analyst who reads your files is the one who signs the report and answers for it.
A Practitioner’s Read
Project controls experience across nuclear, energy, municipal infrastructure, mining, and commercial sectors, from someone who has built schedules for a living.
Reproducible by Design
Every CPP analysis runs on an open, versioned engine: the same inputs produce the same outputs, and the math is reproducible by opposing counsel's expert. Client teams can connect to the same engine directly.
Defensible by Design
Methodology disclosed up front. Citations to AACE Recommended Practices and the SCL Protocol on every conclusion. The analysis is built to be cross-examined from the first window.
Forensic-grade schedule work, end to end.
From baseline review to expert testimony. AACE-standard methodology, defensible documentation, and the engineering rigour that comes from two decades inside regulated environments.
Forensic Delay Analysis
Windows Analysis, Time Impact Analysis, Collapsed As-Built, As-Planned vs As-Built. AACE Recommended Practice 29R-03 methodology, dual-method validation where the contract requires it.
The two methods are mathematically distinct, but both run on CPP’s own open-source engine; the published cross-validation results state what that does and does not independently verify.
Extension of Time (EOT) Claims
Defensible delay quantification packages aligned to the SCL Delay & Disruption Protocol, 2nd Edition and AACE RP 29R-03 §4.1 (excusability and compensability). Notice-gate review, concurrency analysis, and per-window attribution built to hold through mediation, arbitration, and litigation.
Disruption & Lost Productivity
Measured-mile analysis per AACE 25R-03. When crews lost their rhythm to impacts outside their control, the lost labour hours are quantified against a clean period on the same job. The lost hours, measured.
Defence & Rebuttal
When the delay claim lands on you, the opposing analysis is tested against the concurrency, pacing, float, and causation questions it skipped, with the same rigour and the same reproducible engine as the claim-side work.
Monte Carlo Schedule Risk Simulation
Probabilistic duration and cost modelling. P10/P50/P80/P90 distributions, sensitivity tornados, and AACE 122R-22 QRAMM-aligned reporting for risk-adjusted contingency.
DCMA 14-Point Schedule Assessment
Industry-standard health-check scoring across all 14 metrics: logic, leads, lags, relationship types, hard constraints, high-float, negative-float, high-duration, invalid dates, resources, missed tasks, critical path test, CPLI, BEI.
A ladder, not a leap. Start free.
No subscriptions, no monthly retainers. Start with the free claim check, and only step up when the schedule earns it. Each engagement is scoped against your actual schedule and your actual question, and billed by the hour at the published rates, within a written not-to-exceed set at scoping.
Free Claim Check
Send your schedule files and get a candid, directional read on the schedule within a few business days. No fee, no obligation. The lowest-risk way to find out whether the matter is worth a closer look before anyone is retained.
Preliminary Assessment
Turned around in days, not weeks, and capped in writing. A written, methodology-cited go / no-go assessment you can put in front of a client or the other side, with the underlying analysis attached. The formal step before a full forensic spend.
Full Forensic Analysis
Comprehensive delay attribution using Windows, TIA, or Collapsed As-Built per the contract, with concurrency analysis, defensible documentation package, and supporting exhibits ready for negotiation, mediation, or proceedings.
Already in proceedings? Expert support runs alongside or after any engagement: mediation and arbitration preparation, rebuttal of opposing analyses, and expert testimony, billed at $225–$350/hr CAD by activity.

Forensic construction schedule claims · Ontario
Twenty-four years in project controls and planning. Twenty of them inside nuclear and energy programs, covering refurbishment, new build, and ongoing maintenance outage planning, where the consequence of a sloppy schedule isn't a contractual dispute, it's a regulator finding.
Delay-claim work across the career, from nuclear refurbishment programs to municipal infrastructure to commercial work, both as the analyst preparing the contractor's claim and as the rebuttal lead defending against an owner's counter-claim. The work is built to be defended in mediation, in arbitration, and across the contract-administrator's desk.
CPP is the independent forensic practice, taking the cases that benefit from being read by someone who has built schedules for a living, not just audited them.
- Primavera P6: production-grade fluency, 20+ years
- AACE Recommended Practice methodology: Windows (3.3), TIA (3.7), Collapsed As-Built (3.8)
- DCMA 14-Point assessment: full-suite implementation
- SCL Delay & Disruption Protocol 2nd Edition, applied across active claims
- Monte Carlo schedule-risk simulation, AACE 122R-22 QRAMM aligned
Where the work has been done.
Sectors covered through twenty-four years of in-house project-controls roles and consulting engagements.
If a matter needs a large team, CPP is not the right fit. If it needs one analyst who reads every constraint, every relationship, and every fragnet and tells you what they mean for the claim, that is this practice.
Start with a free claim check.
Send the schedule files. Within a few business days you will have a clear read on what they can support, before you spend a dollar on a retainer.
