We didn’t start Chrono to become another bloated agency.
We started it because we were tired of watching good projects die from bad management.
Chrono began with a simple mission: Tell the truth about time.
While other firms were selling "fantasy schedules" to keep clients happy, we built schedules that reflected the ugly reality of the field. We used Primavera P6 and Excel to give Directors the data they actually needed, not the data they wanted to hear.
But scheduling was just the beginning.
We realized that a perfect schedule is useless if the execution is flawed. We saw clients drowning in "consultant bloat"—paying for armies of coordinators who didn't know the scope.
Today, Chrono has evolved. We have amalgamated our capabilities (formerly operating as Tactrl) into a single, Full Turnkey Group.
We don't just tell you when the work will happen. We ensure it does happen.
We are not a body shop.
The biggest scam in the EPC world is the "Bench." Big firms hire hundreds of juniors just to have "inventory" to bill you. They sit on a bench waiting for your project to start, burning overhead that you pay for.
We killed the bench.
At Chrono, we run an elite model.
We don't hire "seat warmers."
The Director you meet at the kickoff is the Director running your war room.
We don't send 15 people when 2 elite experts can do the job.
We are the Special Forces of Turnarounds. Small. Highly Trained. Deadly Effective.
We aren't a faceless board in a glass tower. We are in the field.

We operate out of Cold Lake and Bonnyville.
We aren't flying in from Toronto or Houston to tell you how to run an Alberta oil sands plant. We live here. We work here. We know the difference between a thermal plant and a gas plant because we've walked them both.
We are small enough to be nimble ("David"), but experienced enough to take down the biggest challenges the industry can throw at us ("Goliath").
We will tell you the schedule is impossible before you spend a dime trying to prove us wrong.
We use Excel and P6 because they work. We don't sell software; we sell clarity.
We measure success by "Gates Passed," not hours billed.
Work with the experts who actually do the work.
