Dear All,
Please tell me about the requirements of doing planning of a construction projects. I mean if we have to do planning of a construction project (lets say Hospital project) what documents or input we need at this stage to start planning from scratch?
And how much time it takes to complete planning for the whole project and who/how many people's are involved in this during planning phase?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Planning from scratch? It depends on who you are or what you represent. Example: Owner, Engineer or Architect, Project / Construction Manager, Construction Contractor, Sub-contractor. Each one have a unique role or responsibilities. Hence, having their own schedules as well, into which may form or comprise the whole project. Inputs from everyone (stakeholders) are vital to formulate the overall program of works. How much time or how many people needed to complete a certain project? Again, it depends from the inputs of the stakeholders.
Documents: contracts, design specifications and drawings, any similar past project information (as built schedule, lessons learnt etc)
Time taken: you are always planning the project, keeping up with the changes to scope, the progress being achieved, and improving the outcomes.
Who; everyone! The biggest mistake in planning is to not involve the wider project community and end up with "the planners schedule"
