What is your scheduling framework/approach?
Here's mine:
A construction programme is your methodology expressed through time.
The Gantt chart is only the output. The actual work is deciding how the team will deliver the project:
- Break the scope into activities with clear owners.
- Sequence the work from the required milestones.
- Calculate durations using quantities and realistic production rates.
- Identify the critical path and low-float activities.
- Optimise the work that can actually change the completion date.
Crashing critical-path work usually costs more. Fast-tracking it introduces more risk. Doing either to non-critical work will not bring the completion date forward.
Do I think a planner should build the programme alone and hand it to the site team? No. The people delivering the project need to help build the methodology and commit to it.
This is my attempt to explain it
