In short

Count what is built, not what is believed.

Percent complete drives payments, forecasts and board reports, and it is often the least reliable number on the project. Optimism, inconsistent methods and estimates made from the site office produce a figure that reads well until the final quarter, when the remaining work turns out to be twice what anyone said.

Schedola measures progress from evidence. Rules of credit for each work type, installed quantities against design quantities, weighted milestones and regular field verification, supported by drone flights and reality capture where the site suits it. The result is a progress figure you can pay against, forecast from and defend.

What's included

What we bring to Progress Measurement

Senior practitioners, a proven method and the right technology. Every line below is part of the engagement, not an upsell.

C-01

Measurement rules

Rules of credit for every work type: units, weighted steps and milestones.

INCLUDED
C-02

Quantity tracking

Installed quantities tracked against design and forecast quantities.

INCLUDED
C-03

Field verification

Walkdowns and sampling that confirm what has been reported.

INCLUDED
C-04

Reality capture

Drone and scan data used to verify physical progress objectively.

INCLUDED
C-05

Payment alignment

Progress measurement tied directly to payment applications.

INCLUDED
C-06

Productivity analysis

Earned hours against actual hours to show which crews are slipping.

INCLUDED
How it works

A clear path, milestone by milestone.

A disciplined sequence, so you always know what happens next, who owns it and why it matters.

PHASE 01PHASE 02PHASE 03PHASE 04
PHASE 01Define

We agree measurement rules for every type of work, before the arguments start.

PHASE 02Capture

We collect installed quantities and milestones from the field.

PHASE 03Verify

We confirm progress through walkdowns and reality capture.

PHASE 04Feed

We pass verified progress into the schedule, earned value and payments.

Questions, answered

What leaders ask us first.

Straight answers from the people who do the work. If your question is not here, ask us directly. A senior practitioner will reply.

What are rules of credit?

Agreed methods for earning progress on each kind of work. A pipe spool, for example, might earn set percentages at fabrication, installation and testing. Because the rules are fixed in advance, progress stops being a matter of opinion.

Do drones really help?

Yes, especially on earthworks, structures and large sites. Repeated aerial capture gives an objective, comparable record of what is physically in place, and it settles questions in minutes that used to take a site walk and an argument.

How do you resolve disputes over progress?

Most disappear once rules of credit are agreed. Where they remain, field verification and dated capture provide the evidence, and both parties see the same record.

Can this support lender draw requests?

Yes. Verified progress tied to the payment schedule gives lenders and their technical advisors a clear basis for each draw.
