Hi Fazeel,
You have learnt the basic principles, now walk out there and kick ass
Hi Shivaji,
I agree with Alex, I think the problem is that youve developed a programme based only on the drawings you had, but there are numerous things that you should have considered in in doing so.. (e.g. production capacity of resources, methods you will use, contract milestones & etc..) drawing is only one thing to consider in planning coz this will provide you with the quantity needed to complete the works. As to when will the schedule needs to be change, It depends on the circumstances.. let say you have a variation order you can revise the schedule if the changes will have an impact to your programme, or perhaps you may have a contractual issues that could also affect the programme.
Kind regards,
Christian
Hi Shiva, The programme needs to reflect the way the work is to be executed, however contractual milestones need to be included and maintained wherever possible. At the end of the day, the programme (schedule) is a tool to monitor the work and forecast any potential delays and as a method of tracking that progess achieved is sufficient to maintain the schedule.
To be of any use the construction team has to buy into (agree) the schedule and therefore the programme needs to reflect the way they wish to execute the work. Any clashes with contractual dates etc can thus be highlighted.
