Start Primavera Training in Canada

Hi,

I live in Calgary Canada. I am using Primavera from last 10 years. I want to set up my own Primavera trainng institute. Can someone help me, how can I do that?

  • Do I need any permission from Oracle Primavera? Any type of partnership?
  • Is there any standard material or course outline ? Or I can customize it according to requirements in Alberta?
  • Any contact person to whom I can talk to discuss above questions?

Thanking all of you

Survey on linear schedules quality assessment

H
Hassan Emam 👤 Member for 15 years 8 months

Hi Planners

As part of my PhD, I am currently conducting a survey on the measurement of quality level of linear schedules for construction projects with repeating activities. Please respond to the survey and share with your colleagues. I really appreciate the time and effort you will spend to contribute to such a study.

Many thanks, 
Hassan

Overall project structuration in a multidimensional way

Sometimes the goal of the project is to finish the project as earliest as possible, sometimes it is to finish it with the lowest cost, sometimes it is to obtain the best Product with a high quality and design/functionalities, and sometimes it is a mix between cost, time and scope.

Cost is added as Expense not resource. % complete type is physical. and duration is fix duration & units. Every activity has a fixed cost assigned under expense.

Updating P6 Programme for remeasured Contract

C
Celso Paman 👤 Member for 16 years 5 months

Dear PP Experts,

We have a road project and it is under a remeasured contract. There are differences between BOQ Quantities (loaded in the programme) and the actual quantities such as volume of excavated materials, etc. This means that the activities in the P6 schedule loaded with the BOQ quantities will not represent the correct planned progress.

Sample scenario is this.

Planned: Activity 1 has 1000 cum of excavated material

Actual: Activity 1 has 1300 cum of excavated material (100% done)

Therefore: the progress is only for 1000 cum and not on 1300 cum.
