Relationships and the Critical Path. Confused

Hello!

I am new to planning (6 weeks). It is my first job in the construction industry also.

I have been taken on as a planning engineer for a small-medium sized main contractor in the UK. I am the only planner currently and I have taken over from an experienced guy who was here for years.

New to Planning. Reading material suggestions anyone?

Hi everyone.

I recently got my first job as a trainee planning engineer for a medium sized main contractor in the UK. I am mainly producing tender programmes using ASTA, I am mostly guesstimating at the minuite and making sure i stick to the overall dates which the client request.

The thing is my actualy construction knowledge is limited, so I have no real clue of what tasks are involved in say a refurbishment or a new build leisure centre or of the durations and order these tasks come in.
