Schedule Performance · 2017–2024 Audited Record

Delivered On or Ahead of Contract in 94% of Engagements

Across the 38 consecutive civil works projects closed between 2017 and 2024, schedule performance was measured against the contract baseline at the activity level — not at the milestone level — and validated annually by the Japan Construction Occupational Safety and Health Association.

  1. 01 41d avg. days-ahead

    Measured across all contracts completed ahead of contract baseline — including the Oshima Bridge seismic retrofit, finished 41 days inside a 730-day window.

  2. 02 94% on or ahead of contract

    Share of the 1,217 contracts completed since 1987 that closed on or before the contractual completion date, per internal schedule audits.

  3. 03 98% on-time delivery rate

    Contracts delivered within the contractually permitted float window — combining on-the-day and ahead-of-baseline completions across heavy civil, port, and industrial scopes.

  4. 04 23% critical-path acceleration

    Average schedule compression versus industry baseline, attributable to 92% self-performed work scope across earthworks, structural steel, concrete, and pile foundations.

Procurement & Owner Feedback

Reference from a Hokkaido Institutional Owner

“Across three consecutive winter-cycle port rehabilitation packages in Otaru and Tomakomai, Kenchan closed each contract inside the float window despite ambient temperatures below −18 °C on pour days. Their cold-weather concrete protocol — formally adopted by the Hokkaido Branch of the Japan Civil Engineering Contractors' Association in 2019 — is the basis on which we now write the technical specification. Schedule discipline on critical-path activities was within two percentage points of the contractual baseline across all three engagements.”

Director, Port & Coastal Infrastructure Division Hokkaido Prefectural Government, Public Works Bureau Reference period: 2020–2023 · Engagement scope: Port rehabilitation, cold-weather concrete, coastal scour protection.
