Two Stage Tendering / Design Programmes

Dear Scarllet,



You are correct, the Site survey + soil report are done before the design stage commence, and the approval by the authorities after the design drawings are complete.



We must add the Financing stage before the commencement of construction. Without finance, the project does not move forward and stays on the shelves.



With kind regards,



Samer

Hello James,



It is a must to provide a window for Authorities approval in design programmes.



In some geographical area, Authorities Approval is a "pain in the ass" for client, designer,



Thank you,

Scarlett

I would doubt there is a detailed construction programme developed at this stage, more likely a an indicative period of construction.



For this stage you are looking to breakdown the scheme into is various trade/work packages. Understand the deliverables required to enable you to go to tender and get prices back, whilst taking into account the early trade packages and your start on site date

Hi James



Everything leads back from your detailed construction programme.



This is the way I do it.



Set up a series of hammocks for each work package and filter on the trades within the programme and add them to the approriate hammock.



Now set up the cascade for procurement from design complete to offload on site - this is linked to the start of the package hammock - I know you can’t link directly to the hammock but if you put it under a summary bar you can link to that.



Set all your procurement to ALAP and then it will follow any changes in the work packages.



Now set up the design cascades for each work package including Lead design > Design co-ordination > Review and issue etc.



Again link the last design task to the start of procurement all set ALAP.



There may be some feed back from procurement to design approval but that is best left in the procurement section.



As the meerkat says - seemples.



Best regards



Mike Testro.

Dear James,



What kind of a project are you going to work on? Are you working for a Construction Management firm that wants to tender the design services then monitor the design works?



We need to understand the deliverables inorder to provide advice on the Schedule activities.



With kind regards,



Samer
