I could help you with this if I could see what you are dealing with, but it is waste of time just guessing otherwise.

Well I'm using a variety of programs our sub-contractor is using CCS but we are using MS Projects and Primavera P6.



But now my Director wants me to revise out program in MS Projects which is fairly a new challenge for me as I never needed to revise a program as my previous Projects always finished on time.







So I need to rollup their main tasks into ours which I find very difficult to do. I have added them into our program but to make logical sense of them is a battle to me. We are all ready running 46 days behind schedule so I'm hoping if we revise this Program the slippage would look a lot less which in terms it should.







Without this program we will be unable to claim for loss time and I fear my career might also have a negative impact on this reschedule/revised program. This program I did not create which is making it even more difficult for me to work out the logic.



This is my first time working with Civils I find it really challenging and intresting.







So I hope some 1 will be able to assist me on this.

Good Day Pieter

The first question I would need to ask is which Planning Software are you working? I may only be able to help if you are using CCS (Majority of my planning experience) however I do know that this is a fairly common operation in P3/P6.

The principal is fairly simple. Your subcontractors program would be referred to as a Team Plan or a Level 4 Program, showing allot of detail.

Your program should only really refer to their program on a Level 3 or Stage/Phase Plan. So in other words a "rolled up" version. These "rolled up" activities should focus on Subcontractor milestones.

Bear in mind it is always easier to simplify or roll up the plan before transferring/importing the program and that you should make a copy every step of the way in case you make a mistake (for the lack of a better word)!

Hope that helps.
