Use Project Documents to Create an Effective Construction Schedule
There are several different components which are used to create an effective construction schedule. You will need to be able to compile these into useful formats that can easily be read by everyone on your project team; by contractors, vendors, and suppliers; and by the project sponsors and stakeholders. To start, you should gather all of your documentation related to the project showing every single activity, including delivery of equipment, raw materials, tools, and the work tasks to be completed.
As you are mapping out the construction schedule, you need to be thinking about the critical path method (CPM). The CPM is an essential piece of the schedule which shows you the anticipated duration needed to complete all work, from start to finish. If you improperly map out the critical path, there can be problems later on once work has begun.
It is worth your time to have a professional construction planner, like us, here at HSE Contractors, review your completed schedule. With our expertise and knowledge in a wide range of construction projects, we are able to review all of your documentation and ensure you have remembered to include every detail on your schedule. In addition, our team identifies any key issues or problems with your schedule, such as inaccurate dependencies, missing tasks, incorrect task duration times, and more.
