Construction managers

Independent schedule reviews, dashboards and controls on behalf of owners.

Project owners and developers

Know your variance.

Variance is the gap between plan and actual. Seeing it early is what lets a team do something about it.

How we work

  1. Scope

    We learn the project, the contract requirements and what you need to know.

  2. Collect

    You share the schedule, drawings or data. We confirm what we have and what is missing.

  3. Deliver

    We prepare the schedule, analysis or report and walk you through it.

  4. Support

    We keep updating, reporting and answering questions as the project moves.

Why Variance

Straightforward work, clearly explained, built to the requirements of your contract.

Specialist focus

Planning, scheduling and project controls are what we do, not one service among many.

Specification-ready work

Deliverables follow the schedule and reporting requirements of your contract.

Clear reporting

Plain explanations next to the numbers, so non-schedulers can use them.

Senior-level involvement

Your work is led by an expert with over 20 years of experience, not handed off.

Flexible engagements

Single deliverables, ongoing monthly support or a short burst of capacity.

Modern tools

Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Power BI and BIM tools, connected where it helps.

Familiar with owner and agency specifications

Our lead is familiar with the specifications and requirements of public and private agencies and owners across the USA, particularly in aviation, heavy civil and transportation work, gained through prior professional experience.

Aviation, heavy civil and transportation projects carry strict specification requirements for how schedules are built, updated and reported. We bring that discipline to every engagement, working in line with AACE International recommended practices and PMI guidance and to the contract and specification set by each owner.

  • Work aligned with recommended practices of AACE International (AACE) and the Project Management Institute (PMI)
  • Familiarity with a range of owner contract types, specifications and special provisions, public and private
  • Specification-driven schedule submittals, updates and narratives
  • Detailed progress reporting and documentation requirements
  • Defined milestones, contract times and time-extension procedures
  • Coordination across designers, utilities and operating facilities

This describes familiarity with published owner and agency specifications and requirements, and alignment with AACE International and PMI practices. It is not a certification or endorsement. Variance Consulting LLC is not affiliated with or endorsed by any agency or owner.
