Project Scheduling Services - Scheduling and Project Management
Scheduling That Keeps Every Project on Track
Delivering several projects on time depends on sound scheduling
and project management. In Australia, a slipping schedule costs far
more than the days lost: missed milestones bring contract penalties,
supply chain disruption and a loss of stakeholder confidence that
can be hard to win back.
Our project scheduling services at Total PMO Solutions go further
than supplying a tool. From day one of a new capital programme, or
the moment a project needs rescuing mid-delivery, we build
disciplined scheduling practice into how your team works. You end
up with a schedule your team trusts, your client accepts and your
programme can be delivered against.
Why Planning and Scheduling Project Management Makes the Difference
On complex capital projects, such as offshore platforms, utilities and
defence work, the schedule is the plan every team follows. When it is
right, everyone stays aligned. When it is wrong, delays and disputes
follow.
Effective planning needs more than tools. It requires contract knowledge, resource planning, and risk insight.
Total PMO Solutions brings this expertise, proven across some of Australia’s most technically demanding projects.

Our Project Scheduling Services — What We Deliver
Total PMO Solutions provides end-to-end project scheduling services at any stage of the project lifecycle. Here is what that looks like in practice:
1. Schedule Development: From Scope to Baseline
Project outcomes are shaped during schedule development. A weak baseline creates confusion, poor tracking, and risk during claims. We work with your pre-contract and construction teams to ensure your bid or baseline schedule complies contractually and commercially. We can provide visibility of project requirements pre-submission to ensure your approach to delivery aligns with your commercial intents.
2. Capital Project Planning Process Support
Effective planning goes beyond software. It needs a structured work breakdown, resource planning, interface coordination, and governance across all disciplines. Total PMO Solutions brings hands-on experience of more than 15 years dealing with complex projects related to oil & gas, power, and infrastructure. We support your team on-site or remotely. We embed within your teams to provide seamless support to both construction teams, in providing visibility of critical path and assist with resource management, and to management teams by giving a clear picture of project performance and status.
3. Developing Schedules in Project Management: Tool-Agnostic Expertise
We work across all major planning tools. Whether using your existing system or helping you choose one, we adapt our approach to suit your project’s complexity, contracts, and reporting needs.
4. Schedule Recovery, Rebaseline and Delay Analysis
In case of delays, we can assist in delay and disruption claim substantiation, defence and mitigation option planning. We provide expert delay and disruption analysis and can help you produce rock-solid extension claims and work with you to bring your schedule back on track.
We approach every recovery engagement with clarity and candour. You will know exactly where your project stands and what it will take to bring it back on track.

We have only experienced planners as our professionals in the team to build, manage, and defend schedules on live capital projects in environments where being wrong is genuinely costly.
Independent, Unbiased Expertise
As an independent specialist, we are not tied to any software vendor, methodology framework, or project outcome. Our advice is grounded in what will actually work for your project, not what is easiest to sell.
Flexible Engagement Models

Software-Agnostic: Your Tools or Ours
We work with almost all tools and platforms. If you are working with any tool, we can work within it too. In case of using a planning system, we advise on which solution fits best for your project’s complexity and reporting requirements.
Data Integrity You Can Rely On
The integrity of your project data is non-negotiable, and we realise it completely. Every schedule generated, updated, or reviewed undergoes rigorous quality controls. This is how we ensure the numbers your stakeholders see are numbers they can act on.
Proven in Complex, High-Stakes Environments
Multi-discipline EPC programmes. Dispute-sensitive forensic environments. Tight tender timelines. We have delivered in all of these contexts — and the quality of our output reflects it.
