Johnny,
As a preparation to your programme requirements and in the absence of documents stated in posts 2 & 3, you need to read the following documents, but not limiled to:
1) Tender Programme submitted during tendering period
2) Conditions of Contract to check
a. when to submit the programme
b. contract/controlled milestones
c. full/partial access to site
d. others - need thourough reading
3) Contract Drawings
4) Technical Specifications (Scheduling requirements)
5) Current Progress Status Report (ask for copy of related programmes), if there’s ongoing report
6) Minutes of meeting
7) Letter of Award / NTP
8) Contract deliverables (Bonds, Insurances, etc.)
9) Ask the Client to have Post-Award Pre-Scheduling Meeting to have a feel or an idea what’s their scheduling requirements
10) Old datas of similar projects executed by your company
11) Long-lead items
12) Production rates and crew compositions
13).... maybe other PP’ers can add more
Good luck
Hope the above helps,
R*****
Dear Johnney,
You can purchase the PMBOK from www.pmi.org and start learning about the Planning Process. It clearly explains the step towards creating a schedule.
If you have more specific questions afterwards, let us know.
With kind regards,
Samer
Hi Johnny,
Much of your queries can be found in one of the papers in the Planning Engineers website: http://www.planningengineers.org/publications/papers.aspx
Look for "Questions to ask when drawing a programme for a construction project" by Gary France. A wonderful read. I hope its as applicable to an EPC job too.
Kind regards
