Productivity
Hi Guys,
I’m just posting to see if anyone can help with a query I have on productivity.
I work on an oil refinery for a large E&I contractor who hold the term contract here. Our duties are to perform all project works from installing new cables for substations to piping up new instruments. This means my programme is made up of hundreds of jobs that range from 6 hours up to 5000 hours.

Apartment Modifications Schedule
I am currently working as Client rep on a residential tower of high end apartments. The Contractor is expected to allow the Client to introduce apartment modifications during the construction phase in a random manner. ie: the Client can introduce changes to an apartment on the 1 st floor while the contractor has reached the 7th floor in concrete without abortive works. The contractor is proposing milestones for the Client to provide these apartment changes in batches of 10 apartments every 2 months. Accordingly the Contractor will proceed with his procurement and constrcution.

Civil Engineering
Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone would be able to explain some of the processes carried out in civil engineering.
I come from an electrical background so I have no knowledge of civils or any activities they carry out.
If i was to carry out the same exercise for the electrical industry I would explain the following:
1 - Installation of containment - Could be traywork, ladder rack, conduit, trunking, ducting etc - Basically anything that carries cables/pipework.

Planning Office or Site based
Afternoon Guys,
Just want to get your thoughts on whether you think a planner should be office or site based? I am use to a combination of the two depending on the project, but I ask as I have recieved two phone calls regarding possible openings and when I enquired regarding where is the position based in both instances the person said office and was supprised that I considered the role a combination of both site and office based working.
Your thoughts are welcomed.

Pre-Construction Activities
Hi All,
I am trying to complete a schedule that another planner has already started. Unfortunately, he hasn't linked his pre-construction activities together. For example, there are preparation for submittal activites with predecessor "effecvtive start date"; they all start at the same time.
My Question is, How can I link those activies in a way that I do not have them all start at the same time and not delay my construction activites. Should I look at the free float? please explain as I am new to planning.
Thanks
