Construction crew size and mix

N
Naveed Raja 👤 Member for 13 years 10 months

I am developing a construction schedule for a power plant project. Project is in early stage and we do not have any construction manager to assist with the planning effort. I have man hours for all major activities and now I need to convert those manhours in durations. I need to know the standard size and mix of crews for major construction disciplines e.g. Piling, foundations, earth work, Piping, mechanical, electrical and insulation. Is there any body who can guide me about this issue? How can I find this information?

Planned completion date and completion date

Morning,

Pretty new to the concepts of planned completion date/completion date and terminal float, so pls bear with me.

Should planned completion date and completion date be the same on an initial programme submitted for acceptance?

Thanks.

Generating an Early, Late, & Planned Curve in P6

In P3, users could produce an Early, Late, & Planned Curve.  P6 doesn't do this. 

I am able to produce an Early & Late Resource curve by copy/pasting the data from the resource assignments view into an excel spreadsheet, but I cannot produce a planned curve.

I am curious to know what others are doing to generate a planned curve from P6 without simply taking the average of the early & late units.
