7 DCMA Red Flags Hiding in Your Schedule

Most project teams miss these critical deficiencies until an owner audit or delay claim forces a forensic review. This guide shows you exactly what to look for—and how to fix it before it costs six figures.

  • The #1 logic error that invalidates your critical path (found in 85% of schedules)
  • Why "excessive float" is actually a massive red flag—and what it really means
  • The constraint mistake that makes your schedule legally undefendable
  • How to spot relationship defects that hide true project duration
  • The duration limit that triggers automatic DCMA failure
  • Why missing predecessors/successors guarantee schedule rejection
  • Quick fixes vs. problems that require professional correction

Common Deficiencies

Professional analysis consistently reveals critical flaws in construction schedules. These deficiencies undermine project certainty and introduce unnecessary risk.

01

Logic Discontinuity

Activities lacking successors create invisible gaps. Work progresses unmonitored until field conflicts emerge. Critical path analysis requires complete logic chains for accurate schedule forecasting.

02

Path Calculation Error

Improperly calculated critical paths render schedule analysis meaningless. CPM schedule decisions proceed without data foundation. P6 schedule audits reveal calculation errors in 60% of projects.

03

Float Misallocation

Excessive float indicates disconnection from actual work sequence. Schedule integrity compromised. DCMA assessment identifies float distribution issues in construction project controls.

04

Relationship Defects

Time lags substituting for defined activities obscure true dependencies and coordination requirements. Primavera P6 consultants identify relationship logic errors in schedule quality checks.

05

Constraint Overuse

Hard constraints override schedule logic, preventing accurate critical path identification and analysis. Construction scheduling services address constraint violations in baseline schedules.

06

Duration Inflation

Activities exceeding 45 days typically mask multiple work packages requiring decomposition and proper sequencing. Schedule health checks identify duration violations in project timelines.
