Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

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,

Does anyone have clear idea regarding attic stock. i know its sort of awkard space between sloped roof and slab. More or less like mezzanine but with no functional use.

Does somebody know what to include under "Attic stock" procurement

Cheers,

Ravi

Matt’s post seems to me to be an entirely irrelevant cut & paste from wikipedia, in a desperate attempt to make his post appear to be something other than a flagrant advert for his website. As such, I’ve removed the posted link.

A more general discussion about whether Wikipedia is a valid source of reference or not is probably better had in the ’improving PP’ forum, rather than hijacking this topic.

-Please start a new topic there, and I’ll happily contribute.

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

I really feel bad for our most reverent members contributing any information which is poorly compiled in to the forum.

I really don’t understand why all in a sudden a member talk on PM issues in general when this post was intended for a specific subject.

Hi Moderator,

Could you please advise our members not to refer to Wikipedia as we are not using PP forum to discuss info from Wikipedia. I believe I am sensible making my humble point on this subject.

Cheers

Hi Matt

Welcome to PP.

I make it a rule never to beleive anything I read in Wikipedia.

Another rule is that if you are going to quote someone else verbatim you name the source.

We do not accept plagiarism or breach of copyright on PP.

Otherwise we welcome your input.

Best regards

Mike Testro

Project management is the discipline[1] of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is often closely related to and sometimes conflated with program management.

A project is a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables[2]), undertaken to meet particular goals and objectives[3], usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations)[4], which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management.

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals[5] and objectives while honoring the preconceived project constraints.[6] Typical constraints are scope, time, and budget.[2] The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives.

I have started work from home, and there are a lot of problems faced on the behalf of project management issues;

it is a provision in the Bill of Quantities, not in the Time Schedule, just make sure that your Procurement people have specified it in their P.O.

The extra material that you have to provide after delivery of project. Like spare tiles as it is very difficult to get exact shade one year after the project handover. and you definitely dont wnat to run to tile company who give you a gleaming tile which sits on the floor gleaming and actually does more damage to the eyesight than the broken tile was doing. These extra tiles end up stocked in attic. by the owner.

Hi All

I have just googled "attic stock" and it is the terminology for extra material that is ordered and stored in case of breakages and the like.

Long term delivery and specialist materials such as a particular vein of marble that cannot be replaced is most likely.

Also in M&E spare parts and filters are often specified to be delivered to the store on completion.

As such its place in a critical path network will be a finish start link to Handover.

I hope that helps.

Best regards

Mike Testro.

namaste!
if am not mistaken ,

attic as in the house top area within ridge roof design...
attic stock = paint, floor, wall covering.
furniture is not attic stock.
procurement of attic stock would probably enveloping these items.

for the sake of curiosity, attic stock roof design in UAE?

peace,

Hi Raviraj

The space you describe is usually where the M&E plant sits.

I have never heard of the term "attic stock" unless its a Greek wholesalers goods.
