How We Think

Scheduling as a decision-making tool

At Streamline Management Solutions, we approach scheduling as a decision-making tool, not just a reporting exercise.

Schedules should be tools, not just paperwork.

Our perspective is execution-driven and grounded in practical experience.

01 Realistic sequencing and constructability
02 Management of critical and near-critical paths
03 Logistics, permitting, and procurement constraints
04 Identification and management of risk

The calculation is the deliverable. The judgment is the value.

About SMS

Clarity, discipline, and confidence

Streamline Management Solutions is a construction planning and CPM scheduling consultancy focused on helping project teams bring clarity, discipline, and confidence to project delivery.

We start by understanding what matters most to our clients — their priorities, constraints, and decision drivers — and keep those in focus throughout the project lifecycle. Our role is often to cut through complexity, clarify what truly matters to project success, and help leadership respond with purpose rather than reaction.

We place a strong value on fairness, professional integrity, and sound judgment — providing advice that is clear, balanced, and grounded in facts, even when that advice is not always easy.

Practical. Precise. Grounded in real-world construction.

Our mission is simple: turn complexity into clarity to drive successful project outcomes — guided by our founding principle, Complicated Made Simple.

Common Problems We Solve

Projects rarely fail because of a single issue

More often, challenges compound across planning, sequencing, procurement, approvals, and execution — reducing visibility, increasing risk, and putting project deliverables under pressure. We help teams identify, untangle, and address these issues early, set clear priorities, and restore clarity before they become disruptive or difficult to recover.

Limited or unreliable visibility into critical and near-critical schedule drivers

Misaligned sequencing, logic gaps, or unrealistic assumptions within baseline schedules

Competing priorities across trades, work packages, and stakeholders without a clear path forward

Procurement, permitting, or approval constraints not fully integrated into the construction plan

Schedule updates that report status but fail to highlight emerging risks or trends

Incremental slippage accumulating without clear accountability or mitigation strategy

Delayed decision-making due to unclear impacts or conflicting information

Leadership

Leonard Kogan

Founder & Principal

30+ years of experience
Structural engineering background
MBA — Finance & Strategy
Primavera P6

Leonard Kogan brings more than 30 years of experience in construction planning, CPM scheduling, and project controls.

He has led planning and scheduling functions for major construction management organizations and advised teams delivering some of the industry's most complex projects — including landmark high-rise developments, nationally significant cultural institutions, healthcare and life science facilities, transportation infrastructure, affordable housing, and major public programs.

His experience spans the full project lifecycle, from early planning and preconstruction through execution and closeout. When projects encounter significant delay or dispute, Leonard is retained to perform forensic schedule analysis, evaluate delay and responsibility, and support claims and expert testimony.

With a background in structural engineering and an MBA in financial and strategic management, Leonard approaches scheduling not simply as a technical exercise, but as a management and decision-making tool — connecting schedule, risk, cost, constructability, and project strategy.

He founded Streamline Management Solutions to bring that experience directly to owners, developers, contractors, and counsel — providing senior-level insight, practical solutions, and independent analysis when the schedule matters most.
