An active presentation and class discussion will answer the following questions: What basics of CPM scheduling must be understood to comprehend the CM/GC/owner’s CPM schedule? Why must mechanical contractors schedule their own work? What type of scheduling method should you use, and when? Why is a mechanical schedule such a critical piece of project documentation? Why should a mechanical schedule be “labor-loaded” to show planned labor usage? How does mechanical scheduling reduce risk?
Mechanical Scheduling: The Basics of Scheduling a Mechanical Project
Description
Duration: 1/2 Day
Instructor: Blake Wentz
Mechanical project managers cannot rely upon the General Contractor or the Construction Manager to properly schedule the mechanical work. Scheduling your own work provides more control and better documentation when projects, which are delayed by others, are forced to accelerate to meet the original completion date. Mechanical contractors who do little project scheduling often find themselves at the mercy of unrealistic CM/GC/owners’ schedules that lack mechanical detail activities. An active presentation and class discussion will answer the following questions: What basics of CPM scheduling must be understood to comprehend the CM/GC/owner’s CPM schedule? Why must mechanical contractors schedule their own work? What type of scheduling method should you use, and when? Why is a mechanical schedule such a critical piece of project documentation? Why should a mechanical schedule be “labor-loaded” to show planned labor usage? How does mechanical scheduling reduce risk? Blake will clearly explain to attendees why a mechanical schedule is absolutely mandatory on all projects and he will vigorously emphasize his belief that “If you have no schedule, you have no plan”.
