SCHEDULING THE PROCESSING OF SHOP DRAWINGS To ensure an accurate scheduling process for all shop drawings and submittals, we create a comprehensive procurement schedule as a primary section to our overall CPM schedule. Each and every submittal and scheduling activity is clearly identified and assigned early start, late start, early finish and late finish dates and then made part of the critical path of the project. This section of our critical path schedule is monitored daily and updated as needed with minimum weekly updates and then distributed to our project subcontractors and suppliers. Additionally, prior to commencement of construction, we create a comprehensive shop drawing /submittal log with our proj- ect management software. This log is updated daily and reviewed at all weekly subcontractor and owner meetings. The status section of this log alerts all parties responsible for the next step in the submittal /shop drawing process and provides them COORDINATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCHEDULE INFORMATION FROM SUBCONTRACTORS As soon as Link receives Construction Documents, even at the earliest of phases, our subcontractors actively participate in the development of a preliminary schedule by providing duration and sequencing for their trade. 1Tbving worked with many of our subcontractors for so many years, they are willing, and often eager, to get involved in this process as they can make sure their scheduling issues are included. Link Construction Group verifies the initial schedule during the pre- construction phase. This schedule depicts the length of time each trade will take to complete its job, the overall length of the entire project, and any phasing requirements. It is used as the basis forthe development of the detailed schedule and as a tool to evaluate subcontractors during buy -out. To ensure cooperation, we require each subcontractor and supplier to submit a detailed schedule that conforms to our overall project schedule and addresses procurement of materials with long lead times. As Construction Documents develop, we further require our subcontractors to further refine their procurement and pro- duction schedules. We provide a preliminary schedule to each subcontractor and ask them to continue their input during a two month start up schedule period. Upon completion , the final construction schedule is then incorporated into each subcontractor's contract. Once individual subcontractors and suppliers scheduling information is complied, a comprehen- sive joint meeting is held (all prime subcontractors and suppliers) to review and refine our preliminary schedule. Once 100% Construction Documents are received, but before commencement of construction, our subcontractors and suppliers are required to submit their final sequencing, durations and level of detail schedule.
