I see no difference in a building with precast then any other building. Of course you have to set your precast before setting the metal studs on the exterior walls. compared to a structure with, lets say, Brick, where you have to set your exterior wall studs and dense glass first. Other then changing when (in time) that the metal studs for the exterior walls are set into place I see no problems.
About setting up a schedule, I would like to have more detailed discussion about this topic.
For example:on what bases we divide the project on to Zones and phases?
one of the new projects that I am working on now,
has this problem: external walls is precast,this force me to divide the building to Inner zone and outer zone,because the precast will be instatalled after the building skeltone been done.and there is block work to be done after the precast,in this case the problem of finishes will arise, that is why dividing the building to Inner and Outer zone is a must.
That’s exactly what I meant to address in my post on CBS vs WBS.
Cost groups are not an appropiate guide to organize a schedule on their own. They ignore space and time. I usually apply them at a third level in the breakdown, after Area and Phase divisions.
As a respons to your information please note that historical project info (similar projects within the organisation or branch) are essential to get a uniform way of scheduling projects. Budget breakdowns are costgroup based and not neccesarily useful for making good schedules.

Create Radically Better Construction Schedules with ALICE Technologies
Use the power of AI to create construction schedules that reduce risk while cutting costs and build time. With ALICE, develop the ideal schedule during preconstruction -- or recover projects that are off schedule and over budget.

Hi,
About setting up a schedule, I would like to have more detailed discussion about this topic.

In advance thanks for your sharings.

Is this a question?
