Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

this regarding the issue on developing a programme.as what i have noticed i can link the activities in both bar chart and PERT.
can you please help ma which of this two methods is better?

and lastly,how can i project the concrete pouring schedule in the project lay out,this activity is not continuos everyday.is it possible to be put repeatedly in every part of the building structures?
sample:

Concrete pouring in raft foundation after 1 week

yest thats right

call them Pour 1, pour 2 and so on,
code them if you want to see them in different areas but under one header i-e Concrete Pour (once all pour activities are coded against activity code (concrete pour)

you could also do resource linking or concrete supply linking.

hope this helps

cheers

there is no problem if you repeat the same activities a thousand times, in construction, it is the only way, i suggest you use activity codes (more flexible)

For example:

1.layout
2.formworks
3.rebars
4.quality inspection
5.place/pour concrete
6.strip formworks

you can repeat the same group of activities (above)for all the concrete structures that you may have.

once you have established your codings, then it’s easy to apply filters, so that you will only show "pour concrete" to occur on certain dates.

Bon,

You need to establish WBS at sufficient level to place common activity pour concrete.

Please review the idea behind WBS

Charlie
