A running matrix log will then be utilized to track the items that have been incorporated into your project’s design. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULING MCM has an excellent reputation for completing work ahead of schedule. We have never incurred liquidated damages or been penalized for failure to complete a contract in our 30 years of doing business. As a dedicated practitioner of Critical Path Method scheduling and Earned Value Management, our record inspires such confidence that it is not unheard-of for our clients to schedule a major event a their new facility the very same day that construction is due to be completed. MCM uses Primavera P6 to define individual activity relationships, and also to establish and track the project’s Critical Path. The schedule will be cost loaded, and if required, will also include resource loading and subcontractor crew sizes. According to the tenets of Earned Value Management, we will track the ‘burn rate’ for each activity, and will at all times know the exact level of completeness for each individual task, as well as the project’s exact overall level of completion. P6 is capable of generating reports that are configured specifically to the project priorities. We will develop with the City a format appropriate for the reporting needs of this Recreation Center project. BASELINE/MASTER SCHEDULE Our Baseline Schedule is prepared in network form, which will graphically depict the interrelationship and duration of all project activities. Specifically, the following will be shown: ►Permitting Requirements ►Approvals from State and Municipal Authorities ►Project’s Fast Track Phasing ►Long Lead Materials and Equipment ►Major Construction Milestones ►The schedule will be reviewed with the City and our team, forming the basis for monitoring project progress. Once it has been internally peer-reviewed, the Baseline Schedule will be carried forward as the Master Schedule, and any updates will be documented as separate, subsequent files. Shop drawings will be ‘fast-tracked’ whenever possible. One or more MCM staff members will be dedicated exclusively to this task. ‘Processing Drawings’ will be a clearly-defined activity on this Baseline Schedule, and the processing of each individual drawing set will be separate and distinct activities on each subsequent embodiment of the Master Schedule. PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES At the Norman S. Edelcup Sunny Isles Beach K-8 project, due to delays from the utility companies for not removing and relocating existing utilities which encroached within the required work, this project commenced 30 days behind schedule. Because the time impact occurred at the commencement of the project, it allowed our team to utilize our Primavera scheduling software and resequence the project. Re-sequencing the critical items in tandem with the Client, while also working extended hours and weekends; MCM was able to deliver the project on time. MCM’s acceleration efforts and a strategic out of sequence schedule were key elements in the successful delivery of this project on time. Westland Hialeah Sr. High School – This project was located on a low lying 6 acre parcel of which 1 acre was designated a Federal Wetland. This required Federal permits and the purchase of environmental mitigation credits in Everglades National Park prior to commencing work on that acre. To circumvent this constraint, the MCM team isolated and began working around the delayed area. Our schedule had to establish the different areas which required eight separate permits to avoid the impact of the wetland issue. The schedule also had to consider the construction of four buildings on the site based on these permit approvals. MCM had to constantly monitor and revise the schedule whenever these fragmented permit approvals caused delays. Re- sequencing construction activities was done to mitigate the delays. The end result was a timely delivery of the complete project. SCHEDULING EXAMPLES
