Ellana reviewed the construction schedule prepared by another firm for this 866,000sf, luxury, high-rise residential tower at the Mayflower Hotel site located at Broadway between West 61st and 62nd Streets. The development consists of two buildings built over two full-block cellar levels. The ground floor contains retail space below the Broadway building and the main lobby entrance for both towers is through the Central Park West building with a connector walkway to the Broadway building.

Our services entailed: review of two detailed CPM schedules for each tower; review project specifications, drawings, and CPM scheduling specifications; analysis of the schedules to evaluate construction logic, critical path, resource allocation, and cost allocation in the schedule; review of the build-out strategy for the two buildings as well as to ensure that the schedules conform to this strategy and logic; identification of opportunities for shortening the construction schedule; implementation of any shortening sequences / opportunities in the schedule and evaluation of impacts; and provision of recommendations.
