Dear PP Members,

In planning and scheduling practice, I would like to ask who is making the decision or estimation for expected finish dates?

Can a planning engineer decide or construction manager ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

An activity is estimated to start and finish based on logical sequences in the schedule in which the planner calculates the duration based on his Planning experience.

While the Construction Manager is experienced on the execution of works he knows how long (duration) it will take for an activity to be completed but can't predict the start or finish dates specially for thousands of activities in a schedule.
