    This document discusses the importance of good scheduling for construction projects. It defines a project as a unique set of activities that must be planned and executed to deliver a unique product. Good scheduling provides structure, communication of the work plan, and ability to identify problems in advance. It also allows managers to assess resource needs, forecast cash flows, and have documentation for delays. The scheduling process involves planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the project. Planning defines tasks, sequences, and responsibilities and is important for effective scheduling. Monitoring and updating keep the schedule aligned with progress. Revising may be needed to address changes that influence the original schedule like weather, productivity, or scope changes. Preconstruction planning is important and involves developing organization, responsibilities,

    Necessity for Good Scheduling Time is money -- to owners, builders, and users of

    the constructed facility.


    Define Project A project represents a unique set of activities that must take place
    to produce a unique product. The success of a project is judged by meeting the
    criteria of cost, time, quality, safety, and resource allocation.
    Practical Benefits of Good Scheduling requires managers to think the project
    through prior starting the work provides a structured approach to planning
    means of communicating the work plan to others identify problems before they
    arise
    Practical Benefits of Good Scheduling identify long-lead fabricated items assess
    resource requirements forecast cash flows serves as primary documentation for
    delay claim analysis and other time impact considerations
    The Scheduling Process (4 phases) Planning Scheduling Monitoring Controlling
    Construction Planning is the necessary forerunner to Scheduling and includes:
    defining work tasks determining general sequence construction methods
    assigning responsibility
    Scheduling Levels - CPM Life Cycle Baseline Look-ahead Updates Mock or
    What-if As-built
    Monitoring (or Statusing) tracking actual starts and finishes (AS/AF) modifying
    the remaining duration to reflect the current status of an activity must keep
    schedule current to realize its full value serves as documentation for determining
    damages or eligibility for time extensions
    Updating statusing reasonable modifications to logic change orders insert or
    modify coding for better organization in working with and presenting the schedule y
    more significant changes are usually referred to as Schedule Revisions
    Revising or Modifying necessary reaction to change modify logic to reflect work
    plan internal or external pressure to accelerate or regain lost time
    Influences changing the original schedule y weather y acts of God y better or worse
    productivity than anticipated y delivery problems y greater insight to the actual
    scope of work y subcontractor performance/availability y change in scope of work y
    differing site conditions
    Planning is Decision making Information gathering Identifying/defining
    activities Creativity Flexibility interrelationships
    Preconstruction Planning Activities Recognize preconstruction planning must occur
    quickly usually 25 days to 3 months Develop project organization Define
    general responsibilities Determine chain of communication
    Team Approach No man is an island John Donne, 1624

    Planning Team Define objectives and Scope of Work Review plans, specs, and
    estimate Visit jobsite Identify potential problems/conflicts and critical issues
    Planning Team Determine general sequence (logic) Draft rough diagram
    Determine techniques & equipment BRAINSTORMING Identify long lead-time items
    Planning Team Initial meeting Estimator, general superintendent, project
    manager, scheduler, superintendent In-depth planning meeting(s) Probably
    exclude estimator, possibly include key foremen
