Solvix International provides independent schedule review and health check services for construction and engineering projects that need more than routine programme updates. We assess whether a schedule is properly structured, logically linked, progress-driven, forecast-ready, and capable of supporting sound project decisions. Our reviews help clients identify hidden weaknesses before they affect reporting, recovery planning, extensions of time, claims, expert work, or executive confidence.
A schedule can appear complete yet still be unreliable. Weak logic, excessive constraints, open ends, inconsistent calendars, out-of-sequence progress, and unrealistic remaining durations can distort completion forecasts and undermine the credibility of management reporting. Solvix health checks are designed to detect these issues early, explain why they matter, and recommend practical corrective action.
This service is valuable for project owners, contractors, PMCs, lenders, legal teams, and dispute advisors who need assurance that a programme is suitable for planning, tracking, forecasting, or evidential use.
A schedule review can be carried out before baseline acceptance, at regular intervals during delivery, before a recovery plan, or before the schedule is relied on in a claim.
We establish the purpose of the review, the schedule version to be assessed, reporting requirements, and the level of detail expected by project leadership or stakeholders.
We examine the native scheduling file, update history, calendar set-up, codes, options, data date, and any supporting narratives or update logs.
We test logic, constraints, open ends, lags, dangling activities, path continuity, float patterns, and critical-path behavior using structured review checks.
We compare recorded progress against logic and sequence to identify out-of-sequence work, unrealistic remaining durations, and unreliable finish forecasts.
Issues are grouped by severity and practical consequence, from minor hygiene items to major weaknesses that may distort completion confidence or management reporting.
We provide a clear summary of corrective actions, prioritised clean-up steps, and, where needed, guidance for the next schedule submission or update cycle.
A schedule review checks the technical quality and reliability of the programme. A delay analysis investigates the cause and effect of actual delay events, often using forensic methods.
Yes. Baseline health checks are useful for identifying logic, sequencing, and reporting weaknesses before the programme becomes the benchmark for progress measurement.
No. Solvix can review Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and other schedule exports where sufficient data is available to assess structure, logic, and progress quality.
A schedule that has not been tested can report a stable completion date while the logic, constraints, or progress data underneath it do not support that date. A health check tests the schedule against recognised quality checks and explains which findings affect the reliability of the forecast and which are minor.
The checks commonly used to assess whether a schedule is reliable enough to manage and report from
Activities without predecessors or successors.
Use of negative or long lags that hide sequence.
Hard constraints that override logic.
Activities with high or negative total float.
Out-of-sequence progress and actuals after the data date.
Whether a delay on the critical path moves completion.
