Hi Samer
Thank you for your valued input. I assume you are working on the FIDIC - ICE format where an engineer approves the programme.
I respond to your concept of a rolling programme which idicates different levels of detail.
I prefer the "bottom up" method of programming where - at the very beginning - I start with the very lowest level of detail - a single trade in a location where they can work alone for no more than 10 working days. (usually known as level 4 detail)
I then build this up to locations - level 3 - zones or blocks - level 2 and project - level 1.
When there are changes with time - ie a subcontrator order - you are adding details to an already constructed programme.
I do not set out to programme a trade or subcontract in one activity and then try to link down to following trades using lead lag links.
Best regards
Mike Testro.
Hi Mike,
When awarded a Contract, you are requested to submit a "Program of Works" to complete the scope as per Shop drawings and BOQ within a period between 14-21 days. This is reviewed by the Engineer and commented on.
One way to write a Program is to use the "Rolling Wave Method"; that is, you continuously add details to the program with time.
When you have more than one Contractor working at site, you will need a "Master Schedule" to control and monitor then and coordinate their activities.
Toward the end of the project, most of the time, you will have a "Program to Complete". This is a detailed program of the remaining activities that remain in order to handover the project.
Enjoy your programs.

Hi James
The very first programme submitted before construction starts is the one to use for progress monitoring.
What it is called is not really important.
Contract - Master - Baseline etc.
Depending on the form of contract it may need changing from time to time as circumstances change.
Best regards
