Total Float

R
Raza Raza 👤 Member for 12 years 3 months

Dear All, 

 

I have received a shcedule from Contractor for review with activties having very high float like 260 days, 120 etc........same like free flaot is very high. Its 16 months project .

 

Is there any standard practice limit  for activities could assign free float, total float or lag in schedule.

 

Also if I am reducing the duration of critical activties the mechanical completion date is going beyond the project mechanical completion date despit it shall be completed before,.....

Late Start and Late Finish earlier than Early Start and Early Finish

Dear all,

In a schedule that I used the same calendar for all the activities I experienced the fact that for some activities on critical path the late dates were earlier than the early dates.

e.g. ES:1-MAR-2014 LS:28-FEB-2014 late start one day before the early start, while what I expected was to happen the same day 1MAR2014.

 

Any ideas?

where to find labour or machine constant values online

S
shang gao 👤 Member for 12 years 3 months

Hi all, 

can anyone please advise where to find labour or machine constant values online?

it there any free sources such as Rawlinsons construction handbook online.

If not, how can you get the labour or machine constant values to estimate the activity duration when the BoQ is ready.

 

Cheers,

Gao
