North Florida Projects, Analyzed With Litigation-Grade Rigor
Jacksonville's construction market is broad in a way few Florida cities match: port and logistics facilities around JAXPORT, healthcare campuses, financial-sector office work, multifamily growth, and heavy civil projects across Duval and the surrounding counties. Each sector generates its own species of schedule dispute — and each requires an expert who can read the fine print of the contract and the project record, not just jockey a schedule.
Florida Construction and Scheduling Consultants provides forensic schedule analysis, delay claims consulting, and expert witness testimony to the North Florida legal and construction community, led by Don Carlow, CGC, EI, PSP, with 40 years of industry experience.
Expert Witness Services for Jacksonville Attorneys
We support counsel in the Fourth Judicial Circuit (Duval, Clay, and Nassau counties), the Middle District of Florida's Jacksonville Division, and in arbitration:
-
Delay and disruption claims on industrial, healthcare, education, aviation, military, and commercial projects
-
Analysis of contractor time-extension requests and owner-assessed liquidated damages
-
Surety bond claims, contractor defaults, and delay claim reviews
-
Lost productivity claims, including trade-stacking and out-of-sequence work
Industrial and Logistics Project Disputes
Warehouse, distribution, and port-related projects look simple on paper and rarely are: aggressive slab and tilt-wall sequences, long-lead equipment, and tenant-driven completion dates. Delay disputes on these projects turn on procurement records and schedule logic — exactly the records a forensic scheduler is trained to reconstruct and test.
CPM Scheduling for North Florida Projects
We prepare, maintain, and review Primavera P6 schedules for Jacksonville-area owners, developers, and contractors, including realistic baselines, disciplined monthly updates, and time-impact analyses that document delay events as they occur. Contractors who update schedules honestly and accurately during the project hold the strongest position if a claim later becomes unavoidable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What records do you need to analyze a delay claim?
The native schedule files (baseline and every update), daily reports, RFIs, change orders, meeting minutes, and pay applications. The single most valuable item is the complete set of contemporaneous schedule updates — request native P6 XER files in discovery, not PDFs.
Have you testified in state or federal court?
Our testimony experience spans Florida state courts, federal venues, and arbitration panels, with written and live testimony on hundreds of matters. A current testimony list is available on request for conflict and qualification checks.
Can you help before a dispute becomes litigation?
Yes — and it is the cheapest time to involve us. A schedule review during a troubled project, or an independent evaluation of a time-extension request, can significantly increase the chance of resolving the issue at the change-order stage instead of the courthouse.
