PHASING AND SCHEDULE
TGSV incorporates scheduling/phasing as part of our cost review; as time is money for
everyone. We ensure that our trades are involved in this process, so they have a sense of
accountability and ownership in the schedule. The same goes for the Owner/end user.
Understanding their needs and what they envision the impact to their facility will be during
construction is key to minimizing interruptions to the construction process; and also ensures
that the proper phasing/logistics are included in the project schedule and cost. Below please
find the different Scheduling Forms that will be utilized by our Team throughout the course of
our services for both internal and external communication. The reports are as follows:
1. Primavera Project Planner Critical Path Construction Schedule: This report
monitors the progress of each detailed procurement and construction activity. It provides the
scheduled start date, finish date, duration, float, phase and area of each activity; plus, it provides
the list of activities which are on the “critical path” of the project. As the report is updated with
the actual progress of the project, it advises which activities are ahead of schedule, on schedule
or behind schedule, and automatically updates which activities that are on the “critical path” of
the project. The generation of the schedule is based on two keys items. First, we will create a
baseline schedule that is derived from our 20 years of construction experience and archived
schedules. Second, this baseline schedule is issued to all trade contractors at a pre-
construction meeting and each line item is reviewed with the respective trades to ensure that
the durations are correct, the linking of all successor and predecessor activities is coordinated
to avoid any delays, and that the subcontractors are vested in the creation of the schedule. This
schedule is updated on a monthly basis and issued to all parties to monument and manage the
construction progress. Additionally, at our weekly project meetings a two-week look is reviewed
to ensure that the upcoming activities are being properly planned and managed on a weekly
basis.
2. Primavera Project Planner Cost Loading of Construction Schedule: Through our
Teams extensive resume of government contracts we have gained the capability and
experience in cost and resource loading schedules with the Primavera Project Planner system.
This helps ensure that the costs being expended on the project are in line with the actual
progress of the work being performed. This allows Owners to project the cash flow of a project
as it progresses.
