Analysis should include evaluating a construction schedule for the following:
- Start and completion date for each of the following phases:
- Site survey
- Site plans created (i.e., existing topography, home plans added)
- Site preparation (e.g., cleaning, demolition, fill/excavation, erosion and sediment control)
- Site excavation
- Footings
- Foundation
- Utilities installed (underground/overhead)
- Framing (e.g., windows, walls, doors)
- Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) rough-ins
- Exterior finishes (e.g., roofing, siding)
- Interior finishes (e.g., insulation, drywall, painting, trim, cabinets, flooring)
- Site completion
- Materials, equipment, and lead times
- Resources (e.g., manpower)
- Weather
- Inspections.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What is a construction schedule? Why is it important?
- What contractors are needed from planning to completion?
- What possible complications could occur due to poor scheduling?
