Managing a project through time and resources.
The need for proper planning and scheduling.
What is it?
Defining activities for a project, through their
relationships we can identify the project
duration.
CPM Scheduling
My background
This is my perspective
This is the contractors view
We all have roles
I want you to begin to develop the truth as
you will know it
REAL WORLD
Do THEY use it?
Biggest issue is the effectiveness of the
schedule.
Who uses it?
Subcontractor and supplier buy-in.
Time constraints and resource requirements to
update and status the schedule.
Who has ownership of the schedule?
Wall covering or reality? Tool or a puppet?

Owner Requirement
Specifically identified in the contract documents.
Used to manage the contractor by the Owner.
Like it or not the tool used by the Owner to
check the status of the project and the
contractor.
Used for project milestones.
Coordination of Owner supplied material and
contractors.
Manage Change
The construction
schedule can represent
an invaluable tool for
identifying the impact of
the unexpected event or
condition on construction
and revising the plan to
mitigate the impact of the
changed condition.
Critical Path
The critical path is composed of a continuous
chain of activities through the network schedule
with zero total float. All activities on the critical
path must start and finish on the planned early
start and finish times. Failure of a critical path
activity to start or finish at the planned early and
late finish times will result in the overall project
duration being extended.
Reviewed for
completeness and
reasonability.
To be revised if it
does not work.
Level of Detail
Owner requirement
As needed to manage the project
Sequencing & Experience
No more than five day duration as a rule by many
general contractors
Type of work
Hour to day durations-we will use days-not partial
days always round up
Project Requirements- will identify requirements in
project specifications
Resource Availability
The key to estimating activity durations is
the availability of resources. These
resources include the following:
Labor
Equipment
Material
Subcontractors
