About Variance
A Florida company focused on planning, scheduling and project controls for construction teams.
Who we are
Variance Consulting LLC is registered in Orlando, Florida. The company is led by an expert with over 20 years of experience in planning, scheduling and project controls across infrastructure, high-rise, airports, marine, mixed-use, residential, hospitality and healthcare projects.
We work with contractors, consultants, construction managers and owners, and we keep the team small so the person you talk to is the person doing the work.
What the name means
In project controls, variance is the difference between what was planned and what is actually happening. It is the number that tells a team where to look. Our logo carries the idea: a V with a red bar behind it, standing for the gap between plan and actual.
Familiar with owner and agency specifications
Our lead is familiar with the specifications and requirements of public and private agencies and owners across the USA, particularly in aviation, heavy civil and transportation work, gained through prior professional experience.
Aviation, heavy civil and transportation projects carry strict specification requirements for how schedules are built, updated and reported. We bring that discipline to every engagement, working in line with AACE International recommended practices and PMI guidance and to the contract and specification set by each owner.
- Work aligned with recommended practices of AACE International (AACE) and the Project Management Institute (PMI)
- Familiarity with a range of owner contract types, specifications and special provisions, public and private
- Specification-driven schedule submittals, updates and narratives
- Detailed progress reporting and documentation requirements
- Defined milestones, contract times and time-extension procedures
- Coordination across designers, utilities and operating facilities
This describes familiarity with published owner and agency specifications and requirements, and alignment with AACE International and PMI practices. It is not a certification or endorsement. Variance Consulting LLC is not affiliated with or endorsed by any agency or owner.
