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.

Hi Guys,

 

I think METHOD STATEMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMME OR SCHEDULE is different item.

I think in start of any project,  baseline schedule is developed & submitted to client, with this baseline schedule there is a document called Programme or Schedule Method Statement. Am I right?

Any one have template or copy of Method statement for the Schedule or Programme?

Regards & Thanks !

Hi Rayhan,

Method statement is submitted by the contractor to the consultant at the beginning of the project for approval. It can also be submitted before the contractor start the work on site. Method statement describes the construction methodology for the work.The method statement encompasses the following:

  1. purpose
  2. scope
  3. references
  4. definitions
  5. responsibilities
  6. equipment / resources
  7. safety
  8. procedure
  9. Bar Chart

Programme shows the logical sequence for the work as defined in the method statement.

I hope it helps.

Regards,

Puneet Gupta

Hi Rayhan

The method statement sets down how the work is going to be cazrried out.

Theprogrtamme stes down the sequence and time that is to completed

The two documents complimet each other.
