Project Scheduling
Using Primavera Project Scheduling
Matador Construction Services specializes in a utilization of Primavera by Orical. We also periodically use Microsoft project. Many of our clients require ulilizing primavera as part of the contract documents. Often times, these schedules need to be a complete CPM as well as Cost and Resource Loaded. With over 30 years of scheduling expertise involving the use of primavera, we can achieve virtually anything our client needs.
Baseline Schedule Development
With our 30 years experience, mostly in the field, as a project manager and as a superintendent, we have the unique ability to develop a complete baseline schedule off of a set of contract documents. Therefor, we can expeditiously create a baseline schedule for our clients in the most busiest time of the project.
Project Updating
Project updating is often the most overlooked aspect on a construction project. We believe that every project should have consistently a monthly progress update. This is where Matador brings true value to each and every project. We begin the update process with an update worksheet template for each project team to fill in the status of that months activities. This is then implemented into a baseline schedule update file, and most importantly, we discuss this update with each client every month. Including progress on the job, any slippages, or any disturbing float trends along the way. After this is done, Matador generates all the required reports including a monthly project progress narrative.
Impact From Change Orders & Time Impact Analysis
One of the most overlooked aspects of the scheduling process is illustrating the impacts of change order and their role in the schedule updating process. Lets face it, every project has changes to it, and Matador brings years of experience in illustrating the impacts of changes and delays on the project. We specialize in delay analysis and time impact and communicate with our clients to advise them on a regular basis. Furthermore, we represent our clients in discussions with their clients regarding the impact of changes to the job. This is the value that Matador brings to each and every project.
How Primavera Makes A Difference
Ensuring each construction phase is fully completed before advancing onto the next is crucial, regardless of the size or scale of the project at hand. Additionally, placing emphasis on coordinating building material procurement, directing the labor force, and managing the contracting outfit that has been commissioned to affect the actual development portion of the project are essential steps aimed at success.
Incorporating Primavera in the management of a developmental project or large-scale construction venture ensures pivotal milestones are met and pre-set timeframes are adhered to throughout the entirety of the development enterprise.
Spurring production & productivity whilst boosting ROI is often best achieved by maximizing the budgetary allotment through prudent, yet efficient, spending and maintaining clear-cut contingencies against unforeseen setbacks.
Primavera fulfills many critical budgetary capacities by encouraging expenditure restraint in regards to material procurement, talent acquisition, resource allocation, and an imbalance of cost-versus-yield.
There are very few instances that can derail the progress of a development project or construction venture as resoundingly as dealing with the challenges caused by project stagnation. With Primavera, such concerns are rendered moot.
Considering no two development ventures or construction projects are inherently the same in terms of size, scale, or general ambition, it’s perfectly reasonable to adopt a management system (like Primavera) that fosters versatility and diversity.
It’s always ideal when the progress of a given construction project or property development effort never falters or reaches an impasse, however, maintaining progress can prove challenging without the guidance of Primavera.
When a situation causes a developmental project to become delayed or outright inhibited, it’s important to promote proactivity towards correction as opposed to maintaining a position of passivity or disinclination towards redress.
While the blame game is one that seldom yields the most desired results (especially when a large construction project is involved) in terms of resolution, emphasizing accountability can and will prevent potential issues in the future.
One of the most common ailments that plague many development efforts is the inevitable impediments surrounding project organization - or lack thereof. With Primavera, the fundamentals of proper project organization are paramount.
As with any project involving large-scale development, upholding clear and informative communication is absolutely essential to the project’s eventual success; regardless of how grand the build is or how far along the project is.
