ticHEWETT-KIER CONSTRUCTION, INC. GENERAL CONTRACTORS Near Critical Activity Schedule Typically, the schedule is filtered so that only those activities with five (5) days or less of float are reported. This enables Hewett-Kier Construction,Inc. to focus on those activities which are the most critical and have the most potential to delay the project. When negative float activities occur, they are addressed and appropriate action is taken to avoid delays to the overall project. Three-week Lookahead Schedule On a weekly basis, the project manager or project superintendent updates the schedule and provides a report as to the work to be performed over the following three weeks. This schedule,which is also printed by responsibility code, is presented by the project superintendent or project manager at the weekly coordination meeting so that the work to be performed over the immediate twenty-one day period can be addressed, coordinated and any problem areas resolved. By weekly focus on the next twenty-one day work period, Hewett-Kier Construction, Inc. maintains maximum control over the schedule and the work to be performed.
