1. yes each SHOULD have its own activity regardless of the cost this needs to be done
2. You can add the major categories for the different labor plumber, hvac, electrician, Laborer, Iron worker etc.
or the other option is to jsut have 1 labor resource and use filters to filter the plumbing activities or the electrical activities to get the required manpower.
If there is one activity which is using same for each floor like fire fighting works and project is G+5. So in BOQ , there is total cost for this activity.
In this case i have to divide this activity by 6 and put in each floor?
Secondly, if I don’t differentiate labors for each activity , so don’t you think it will create resource overallocation error in program? I mean i add this labor to each activity?
1- You shoudl start with Material Resources. For each activity material Take off study needs to be done. Then you can ask the relevant team member to provide you trade wise cost at least so taht you can distribute at least toughly.
2-You shoudl be careful to separate Material and Labor Cost. MAterial Cost should be loaded into Procurement activities, Labor Cost should be loaded into Construction activities so on. This separation will enable you to calculate accurate progress inline with yoru cahsflow.
3- If you can handle 1st step, using productivity rates you can easily get the required man-hours which enables you to give required manpower with leveling options. You need to coordinate the numbers with relevant Cosntruction Managers. Labor Cost and BOQ Construction rates should be inline for accurate cost distribution. If not either you should get BOQ construction rates or manhour rates. 1st one will give bettter results to make inline with Interim Payments.
4-Making Resource dixtionary as detailed sometimes doesnot give good result. It doesnot matter who speciically work in simialr activiites unless different type of activities requires deifferent skilled manpower.

1. you will have to ask him that not us
2. load each activity with the total cost for each activity just create a resource called lump sum and put it there for each activity.
3. who estimated the project to begin with ask that person
4. you dont have to use name unless you want to. Laborer is a laborer it doen not matter if it is Bob or John doing it
