    Hello Abhay,

    Nice to see you here. Following is my recommended list to check any schedule:

    1- Project Start, Finish and any Contractual Milestone Dates.

    2- Project WBS; how it is constructed. For example, there should be separate sections for General Requirements, Engineering (Including Shop Drawings and Materials), Construction, Testing and Handing over.

    3- The relationship between the Engineering (Shop drawings approvals / Materials Delivery) and the relevant construction activities.

    4- The relationships between the Civil, Finishes, and MEP activities.

    5- The Duration of the activities, is it reasonable?

    6- The cost loading and cost calculations for the activities.

    7- The resource loading and resources calculations for the activities.

    8- Total Float for the activities.

    9- Open ends and predecessor /successor

    10- Used Calendar and project working days / holidays.

    11- Run the program on the contractual data date to be sure that all calculations are updated.

     

    So, what could go wrong (common mistakes) :

    1- Project Start Data, Finish date, Contractual Milestones does not match the contract.

    2- The date of Shop Drawings approval is after the date of starting first relevant activity.

    3- The date of materials delivery is after the date of starting first relevant activity.

    4- Start the Block Works immediately after the above slab casting without allowing for scaffolding removal duration.

    5- Finish the MEP works in the ceiling after the start date of the suspended ceiling.

    6- Work on ceiling the floors for the same area at the same time.

    7- Start final finishes at early stage of the project.

    8- Late start of the testing and commissioning.

    9- Having negative or high floats.

    10- Budget cost is not matching the contract value cost.

    11- Resources chart is not leveled (big variances in the required working hours among weeks/months)

     

    Best Regards,

    Hany
