CPM Scheduling (Primavera P6)
CPM scheduling is the backbone of how your project is planned, measured, and controlled. Constructive develops schedules in Primavera P6 that are fully aligned with the contract, the drawings, and the way the work will actually be built. We start by breaking down the scope into logical work packages, sequencing them with realistic crew flows, and tying in procurement, submittals, and long-lead items so the schedule reflects the real constraints your team will face.
From there, we structure activity coding, calendars, and milestones so the schedule is easy to filter, easy to report from, and acceptable to the owner or construction manager. The result is not just a schedule that passes review, but a planning tool your superintendents, project managers, and subcontractors can use for look-ahead planning, progress tracking, and “what if” scenarios.
Throughout the project, we support updates and revisions, maintaining a clear baseline versus current view so you can see where you are gaining or losing time. This gives your team early visibility on risk to substantial completion, helps align manpower and procurement decisions, and provides a defensible foundation for any later discussions about delay or change.
1 pre-construction phase
A successful project starts with a solid foundation. At Constructive, we meticulously manage all aspects of the pre-construction phase to ensure smooth project execution. Through strategic planning, risk assessment, and effective stakeholder engagement, we set the groundwork for success.
Project Objectives: Define clear goals and deliverables.
Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies.
Resource Allocation: Optimize labor, equipment, and financial resources for efficiency.
Conceptual Design: Our architects and engineers collaborate to develop a design that aligns with the client’s vision and project requirements.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure designs meet local building codes, zoning regulations, and environmental standards to obtain necessary permits.
Value Engineering: Explore cost-effective alternatives without compromising quality by evaluating materials and construction methodologies.
Procurement Strategy: Determine the best procurement approach—whether traditional, design-build, or construction management.
Supplier & Contractor Selection: Conduct competitive bidding, evaluating potential partners based on cost, experience, and capability.
Contract Negotiation: Secure contracts with clear terms and conditions aligned with project objectives.
Identifying Stakeholders: Engage clients, authorities, suppliers, and community groups early in the process.
Engagement & Communication: Maintain transparent communication with all stakeholders to align expectations and address concerns.
Expectation Management: Strategize to balance stakeholder interests and project goals effectively.
2 construction phase
Our construction management approach focuses on progress tracking, resource optimization, and cost control to ensure a smooth and timely project delivery.
Scheduling: Develop a detailed project schedule using advanced project management tools to
track progress.
Progress Tracking: Monitor work completion against the schedule and take corrective action as needed.
Resource Allocation: Efficiently assign labor, materials, and equipment to prevent delays.
Time-Cost Management: Assess the financial impact of schedule changes to maintain budget control.
Budgeting: Establish a comprehensive budget covering all costs, including materials, labor, and contingencies.
Cost Tracking: Monitor expenditures and implement control measures to preventoverruns.
Change Orders: Document and manage scope changes to maintain financial accountability.
Cost Reporting: Provide stakeholders with detailed financial reports to ensure transparency.
Contract Administration: Ensure adherence to contractual agreements between all involved parties.
Documentation: Maintain organized records of contracts, change orders, and payment requests.
Dispute Resolution: Manage conflicts effectively through negotiation or mediation when necessary.
Payment Management: Implement structured payment processes tied to project milestones.
Quality Control: Continuously monitor work quality to meet project specifications and industry standards.
3 post construction phase
This final stage ensures a smooth transition from construction to operation, providing clients with a fully functional and defect-free facility.
Final Inspections: Conduct thorough testing to ensure systems function as intended.
Substantial Hand-Over & Beneficial Occupancy: Facilitate the official handover of the facility for full client operation.
Completion: Ensure all project deliverables are met.
Hand-Over: Transfer project responsibility to the client with full documentation.
Project Close-Out: Conduct final evaluations to confirm all requirements are satisfied.
Warranty Period: Continue providing support as per the agreed-upon terms.
