CRITICAL PATH RESET

Is Your Construction Project Spiraling Out of Control?

The Critical Path Reset is a proven process to help developers, owners, and stakeholders gain a fresh, strategic perspective on their construction jobs in as little as 2 weeks. We cut through the noise, identify core issues, and establish a roadmap to get your project back on track—fast.

Week 1: Diagnosis & Discovery

We begin by understanding every detail of your project. Our experts will dive into all available documentation, meet with key stakeholders, and conduct a comprehensive site assessment if needed.

  • Project Review

We’ll conduct a thorough review of your project documentation, including architectural plans, contracts, budgets, schedules, and communication logs. This allows us to get a full picture of the current status and identify key issues that are causing delays and cost overruns.

  • Stakeholder Meetings

We will meet with all key stakeholders—architects, general contractors, trades, and property owners—to get a 360-degree view of the project. These conversations are crucial for identifying communication breakdowns, misalignments, and differing expectations that are often at the root of construction project issues.

  • On-Site Visit and Inspection

If applicable, our experts will visit the construction site to assess progress, inspect the conditions, and identify any immediate concerns that may be affecting your timelines. We’ll compare current progress with original plans to spot discrepancies and bottlenecks that need immediate attention.

Week 2: Strategic Development and Action Plan

After the discovery phase, we’ll work on formulating a tailored, actionable plan that addresses your project’s specific needs aiming for immediate impact.

  • Schedule Optimization

Our team will analyze your project’s timeline in detail, identifying critical path dependencies and inefficiencies. By refining resource allocation and uncovering opportunities for schedule compression, we’ll help you recover lost time and improve overall workflow.

  • Risk & Value Assessment

We’ll conduct a deep dive into potential risks that could threaten your project’s success—whether due to subcontractor performance, material shortages, or regulatory hurdles. At the same time, we’ll explore value engineering opportunities to optimize costs without sacrificing quality.

  • Your Roadmap

We’ll present our findings to you and your team, walking through the risks we identified, the strategic roadmap we developed, and the steps you’ll need to take to bring the project back under control.

After we present your action plan, you decide the next steps. You can implement it with your team or hire Anker to manage execution. There’s no obligation—just a clear strategy to move forward.

"Saved us millions in potential litigation costs"
