Construction Scheduling & Submittal Management

Field execution demands constant synchronization between design updates, resource availability, and schedule commitments.

1. Construction Scheduling

  • Develop detailed activity-level schedules aligned with WBS and CPM.
  • Prepare look-ahead schedules (1–3 weeks) for field planning.
  • Track actual vs. planned progress through bar charts and dashboards.
  • Integrate subcontractor schedules into the master plan.

Tools: Primavera P6, MS Project, Orangescrum Planner, Excel Gantt charts.

2. Submittal Management

Submittals include drawings, samples, method statements, and material data that require approval before execution.
