I dont think there can be industry standard on such things. All the projects are different. Even within a project, a structure which is perfect for one Manager may not be good for the other. Thus this level does not mean anything. Start from absolute activites ( you may call it level 1). For your and others clarity and ease, group and subgroup them in whatever way until your requirements are met.
If someone comes to you asking for Level 3 or whatever level programme, ask him what he means.
I am posing a construction working-schedule assertion, one that will serve not only management or contracts people but a realistic schedule that every discipline manager, superintendent, supervisor, foreman, and leadmen will observe and implement in actual work.
this is not a question of standard, it is a question of wording. Only the level 1 - schedule is clearly specified. Out of this description people started to make expressions like level 2 and so on. It is a bad habbit to use level description higher than "1" and people using this description mostly do not know what they are talking about.

Hi All
CSI MasterFormat 2004 would be your answer for standarizing activities. It covers pretty much everything.

Hi Hannes,
Interesting opinion, thanks.
I am posing a construction working-schedule assertion, one that will serve not only management or contracts people but a realistic schedule that every discipline manager, superintendent, supervisor, foreman, and leadmen will observe and implement in actual work.
I hope to read more opinion from others.
Cheers,

Hello Rey
this is not a question of standard, it is a question of wording. Only the level 1 - schedule is clearly specified. Out of this description people started to make expressions like level 2 and so on. It is a bad habbit to use level description higher than "1" and people using this description mostly do not know what they are talking about.
