CMCON engineer and foremen perform routing on-site inspection, approval of shop drawings (showing detail construction methods for major activities), and request for {esti ond approval of conetucion materials, Situations In this project, two schedule categories have been requested by CMCON as listed: |. ESO ek 9 reo CHEN hin 1 oe aor nt er a ae 2. Ceetional ScheduleSectional schedules are required for the detailed site planning of the contract. They are. Prepared as the detalled work schedules for specific parts or paiticular areas of the work such a5 piling, concrete structure, etc. Itis important that their preparation ties with the master schedule. lule Responsibility: Other than the two above mentioned schedules, John requests threé mofe types of schedules to be applied during construction so that close monitoring of work activities can be accomplished. GD Weeidy Schedule: This schedule wil provide the ability to contol activities on a'short term basis and allow regular short term reviews of progress. Furthermore, it enables effective communication on a day-to-day basis over the span of a week. (O Subecntiactor Schedule: Al major subcontractors (eleccal, mechanical, et.,) are asked to submit their ‘etal schedule of work activities showing completion within the periods allowed by ABC to ensure the proper progress of the main contract QO | Procurem 3: Material procurement. schedules are developed to ensure that all critical materials will be on-site when needed. This type of schedule falls into two phases on site: first, material delivery schedules to meet the requirements of the master and sectional schedules; secondly, the monitoring ‘and control of deliveries together with ensuring that they are efficiently used. Questions: 1) Please give three most important reasons, why CMCON: request for master and sectional schedules? 2) What do you think about gveral yoms, explain briefly? 3) Please identify three major advantages and disadvantages of overall schedule programs? 4) Please predict two major incoming problems regarding the schedule development during the planning (pre- construction) stage.
