Using Finish Start links is the correct procedure for the construction industry so please continue with that method.
Other schedulers use Start Start links with a lead lag but this is a lazy approach - I have had many a debate in PP on this topic so maybe another will start up.
There is no place for a Finish Finish link unless you have to close out a SS link creating a "ladder" sequence.
A ladder is fine for a manufacturing but not much use in construction.
There is no point in Start Finish link in any programme although I have seen it used once when a construction director was using them to create an As Late As Possible sequence. When I showed him the ALAP button he changed his ways.
The only place for a FS Lead Lag is to allow for drying out or curing when the time lag must be in calendar days.
