▪ Brief Overview
▪ Legal Bases
▪ Definition of Terms
▪ Uses and Purpose of Construction Schedules
▪ Preparation Procedures
▪ Original Construction Schedules
▪ Revised Construction Schedules
Brief Overview

This training/workshop highlights the importance of construction


schedules in DPWH projects and aims to streamline and unify
the approach, understanding, and appreciation of both the
original and revised construction schedules.

The focus is to orient DPWH Engineers on how to effectively


and efficiently review/evaluate construction schedules set
submitted to DPWH.

DPWH Quality Policy:


… delivered right on time through close monitoring of
project implementation …
Brief Overview

Work Schedule : Time Control

Time Control, in relation to DPWH infrastructure contracts, is governed by construction


schedules set consisting of an activity network diagram, bar chart with S-curve, manpower
deployment, and equipment utilization schedules - each are distinct and offers different
information which are vital to project management.

Construction schedule management includes the preparation of both original and


revised scheduling tools which are considered living documents necessary throughout the
duration of the project implementation.
Brief Overview

Project Cost: Cost Control

Cost control commences during the pre-construction stage of projects — from


professionally prepared plans which yield properly acquired data, computed and
evaluated for the determination of work and pay item quantities, down to the well-
studied Detailed Unit Price Analysis (DUPA), which constitute the first part of
Cost Control.

Construction schedule management’s role in cost control is in its revisions due


to change orders, and progress billings (advance or delayed accomplishments).

Definition of Terms

Schedule
A plan of procedure for a proposed objective, characterized
by sequence and duration of activities

Sequence
It is the order of preference or occurrence of work activities
for a proposed objective

Construction Schedule
The arrangement of construction work activities in sequence
required by construction logic
Definition of Terms

Construction Logic
It is an acceptable line of reasoning in construction purview

Milestone
It is an important point in a project schedule that project
managers use as a checkpoint. It may include completion of a
major deliverable, critical activity or a merging point in
construction schedule
Definition of Terms
Activity network diagram
This shows work activities in accomplishing a project or a project component. Likewise,
this shows the critical path which is the basis of contract time/duration estimate, a
useful guide/tool in the project site as it shows job sequence, significant events, and
predictions.

Bar Chart
It is a simple visual diagram that aids in sequencing activities by representing each
activity in the form of horizontal bars which are laid out in a time-scaled chart. This
illustrates scheduled completion of a project, e.g., bars drawn horizontally and parallel
to the timeline representing project activities, the completed portions are usually
shaded/darkened, to depict item completion

S-Curve
The S-curve, means schedule curve, is a graphical representation of the cumulative
accomplishments of all activities within a project displayed over time. This is usually
superimposed on the Bar Chart.
Definition of Terms

Cash flow
The cash flow displays the physical and financial scheduled accomplishments of the
project. It is a series of scheduled payments that is required in order to perform the
project in accordance with the schedule of activities.

Manpower deployment schedule


It is the summation of all the necessary manpower per category for a time period,
usually in months, based on the sequencing of activities.

Equipment utilization schedule


It is the summation of all the necessary equipment with its capacities for a time period,
usually in months, based on the sequencing of activities
Uses and Purposes of Schedules
What are the uses/purposes of a Construction Schedules Set?

▪ Determining the shortest possible time to complete a project.


Uses and Purposes of Schedules
What are the uses/purposes of a Construction Schedules Set?

▪ Monitoring of scheduled activity on a day-to-day basis.

▪ Monitoring of manpower and equipment resource needs to surely align with


construction activities to be performed and financial capabilities of the consultant/
contractor.

▪ Ensuring that the cash outflow conforms with the activity requirements.

▪ Customize construction activity outputs within the locality’s climatic norms,


celebrated traditions, etc.
Uses and Purposes of Schedules
What are the uses/purposes of a Construction Schedules Set?

▪ Ensuring thru timely schedule revision for a renewed projected completion date that
must be within a reasonable period, prior to contract expiration date (due to contract
claims, e.g., change order, work suspensions, time extensions, etc.)

▪ Provide sufficient information to the project manager in making decisions as to what


applicable trade-offs to adopt based on the actual work progress, or otherwise to
anticipate payment of Liquidated Damages.
Preparation Procedures

When to prepare? Who prepares?


Pre-construction (procurement) Implementing Office (bar chart)

Prior to contract award (original) Contractor (evaluated by IO)

Prior to billing (revised) Contractor (evaluated by IO)

What tools to be used?


Any convenient computer application such as: MS Excel, AutoCAD, etc.

soon: MS Project (upon institutionalization)


Preparation Procedures

As Project Managers, your duty is to:

(1) review/evaluate the original construction schedules submitted by the consultants/contractors


prior to contract award.

(2) check contractor’s adherence to the latest schedule-of-record. (for Project Engineers, Project
Inspectors, Resident Engineers, etc.)

(3) review/evaluate the revised construction schedules submitted by the consultants/contractors,


incorporating approved claims, prior to billing.

Work Breakdown WBS is an iterative tool that project managers use to progressively dissect a project
Structure into smaller and more manageable parts.

In DPWH practice, the pay item list enumerated in the contract of a project may be
Define considered as the WBS. However, in larger and more complex projects, items of work
Activities may be grouped into components (sub-projects, station limits, floor levels, etc.) where
each component can be independently managed.

Work Breakdown While the WBS is considered the foundation of constructions schedules, activities are
Structure considered as its building blocks.

An activity is a distinct, scheduled portion of work performed during the project. Since
Define activities are representative of the work to be performed, they should be in a verb-noun
Activities format.

Works Estimate the duration and necessary resources

Work Breakdown Duration is the total number of work periods required to complete a scheduled
Structure activity, usually expressed in Calendar Days.

Resources includes manpower, equipment, space, and other things that are needed
Define to accomplish a particular activity.
Activities
In construction, assigning resources usually comes hand in hand with estimating
Sequence activity durations since productivity is resource based. The basis for productivity
Activities output is the assigned resources utilized to perform a specific activity, including other
considerations that affects the productivity output e.g., climatic norm predictions,
celebrated traditions, etc.

Original Construction Schedules
Resources dictate how much time a specific activity can be performed. This concept is very much evident in
construction projects where physical accomplishments depend primarily on the manpower and equipment
capacities designated to perform a particular activity.

Resource Charts are made together with all other construction scheduling tools in order to properly address
resource over or under allocations.

Over-allocation Under-allocation

Resource over-allocation is the incorporation of too Resource under-allocation is the lack or insufficiency
much resource, whether manpower or equipment, in a of such resources assigned to perform an activity.

which lowers the efficiency of that resource. construction projects since resources are assigned to
perform tasks over time that is beyond its capacities.
Discussion Question no. 7

If the project experienced unforeseen contract


changes, and the contractor applied for
contract claims which were eventually approved
by the authority, what should you advise the
contractor regarding its Construction
Schedules?
REVISED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
REVISION TECHNIQUES AND MODES OF REVISION
Reasons for Revision

▪ Work Suspension (with corresponding Time Extension),


total or partial that affected the critical path of the Network
Diagram

▪ Variation Order with additional Contract Time which was


approved incidentally with the changes in quantities in the
case of change order

▪ Lawful instructions of the head of the implementing


office and accepted by the contractor
Reasons for Revision
▪ Variation Order with New Work Items (extra work order)
and changes in quantities of the original work items even
without additional contract time

▪ Change in plans/schemes that requires additional or


subtractive contract time

▪ Additional Contract Time due to Delay in Payment of


Progress Billing i.e., Beyond the reglementary period work
slowdown due to bad peace and order condition
Reasons for Revision

▪ In addition, a good indication to revise a construction schedule


is when a significant variance between the original
construction schedule or previously approved construction
schedule (which will serve as our baseline) and actual project
performance has been observed.

Essentially, revision can be ordered in times of significant variance or slippage to be able to produce a crash
schedule and identify which activities must be prioritized and which resources must be reinforced so that
the schedule might recover, or whether it is still realistic to expect project completion at the set date.
Revision Techniques

Construction schedule revisions must be


undertaken with utmost understanding of the
original construction schedule in order to
recognize how a change in one area might
impact another or perhaps the entire project
itself.
Discussion Question no. 8

In revising the Construction Schedules for


ongoing projects, do you agree that revision
should commence from the contract effectivity?

ANALYZING THE PDM NETWORK DIAGRAM
PRECEDENCE DIAGRAM METHOD (PDM)
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram
PDM Network Diagram
Many software applications nowadays transitioned to PDM in presenting the activity network diagrams due to its
advantages in simplicity in showing various dependencies that most projects require.

Finish-to-Start (F-S) Finish-to-Finish (F-F) Start-to-Start (S-S) Start-to-Finish (S-F)


a successor activity cannot a successor activity cannot a successor activity cannot a successor activity cannot
start until a predecessor finish until a predecessor start until a predecessor finish until a predecessor
activity has finished. activity has finished. activity has started. activity has started.

Dependency Determination

▪ Mandatory Dependency – legally/contractually required or inherent in the nature of


the work.

▪ Discretionary Dependency – referred to as preferred logic, preferential logic, or soft


logic; established based on knowledge of best practices within a particular application
area or some unusual aspect of the project where a specific sequence is desired, even
though there may be other acceptable sequences.
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram
Another feature of PDM is the integration of Lead and Lag which essentially simplifies the
presentation of an overlap and a gap, respectively

Lead (-) – the amount of time whereby a Lag (+) – the amount of time whereby a
successor activity can be advanced successor activity is required to be
with respect to a predecessor activity delayed with respect to a predecessor
activity.
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram

Developing the activity network diagrams would basically be to identify the critical
path of the project. In order to do so, the scheduler shall perform the “Two Pass
Method.”

Forward Pass Backward Pass

A CPM technique for calculating the early A CPM technique for calculating the late
start and early finish dates by working start and late finish dates by working
forward through the schedule model from backward through the schedule model from
the project start. the project end date.
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram

Forward Pass

If the calculations resulted to two (2) or


more possible values for Early Finish,
choose the bigger value (later value)

Backward Pass

If the calculations resulted to two (2) or


more possible values for Late Start,
choose the lower (earlier value)
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram

THINGS TO REMEMBER

▪ In PDM, the relationship between the predecessor


and successor activities can be better calculated
by using two or more of the four possible logical
relationships than by using only one relationship.

▪ In a PERT/CPM diagram, additional nodes and


dummy can be used to represent activities that
are concurrent. As shown in the figure.
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Calculation of the critical path requires consideration of the logical relationship of each activity.

▪ The critical path in PDM is continuous from the beginning to the end of the diagram. Just like in
PERT/CPM, the total float of an activity must be equal to zero to be considered critical. Usually
activities using F-S relationship without lag are critical.

Float (FL) = LS – ES or LF – EF

▪ In PDM, a scheduler should observe completeness and show all logical relationships among activities,
avoiding any unnecessary or redundant relationships. Too many arrows will complicate calculation of
task dates during the forward and backward passes. However, while avoiding redundancies, one must
be careful not to oversimplify the schedule
Analyzing the PDM Network Diagram

THINGS TO REMEMBER

In a comprehensive schedule, all activities, except the first and last nodes, should have at least one
preceding activity and at least one succeeding activity.

▪ Dangling activity refers to an activity that is open-ended where there are no activities connected either
on the left or right side. This activity also has no activity relationship originating either left or right side
and should be avoided as this is considered as poor scheduling practice.

▪ In a PDM diagram, more dangling activities may prevent a realistic critical path preventing the schedule
from accurately measuring the delays and any changes in the time frame

Most Common Findings/Observations
1. Construction Schedules (PERT/CPM and PDM Network, Bar Chart w/ S-Curve, Manpower Deployment
and Equipment Utilization Schedules) components do not conform with one another, e.g.,
▪ Bars of the Bar Chart do not agree with the corresponding activity lines in the Network Diagram
(PERT/CPM, PDM)
▪ Manpower complement, and equipment support do not conform with the activities in the Network
Diagram.
▪ Erroneous logic and sequence
▪ Inappropriate scale
▪ Wrong algorithm, wrong entry of new data, wrong pay item description, wrong format.

2. Revised Schedules include revision of the past periods or portions that were already accomplished
and reported

3. Procedural errors, e.g., inclusion of unsupported claims (i.e., unapproved variation orders, time
extensions, etc.)
