Que faites-vous si le calendrier de votre projet de construction doit être rationalisé ?

To streamline a construction project schedule, I would first conduct a thorough review to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies. This involves analyzing critical path activities, resource allocation, and potential delays. Then, I would collaborate with the project team to implement strategies such as resequencing tasks, adjusting resource levels, or renegotiating deadlines with stakeholders. Continuous monitoring and communication are key to ensure the revised schedule remains on track. Additionally, leveraging technology like project management softwares can enhance efficiency and facilitate real-time adjustments. By proactively addressing schedule challenges, we can optimize project timelines and deliver results more effectively.

Assign tasks to right team members. Set deadlines. Track progress. Track time. Manage budgets. Collaborate with team members. Track resources.

Take the ownership and support team in a way that team feel the support rather than just paper work, always pah attention on feedback from site but more than 3 sources . Evaluate the feedback and take action accordingly. Actions like , planning , tracking, etc.

Assess the delays. Please note construction is at the end of the chain ⛓️💥 n a project. It cannot pass on the buck to anyone else. Delays pushed on to construction costs be 1- Late delivery of design and ‘released for construction’ documents are delayed. 2- Late delivery of materials and resources. 3- Design not construction friendly. Leading to extra works. 4-Inadequate and slow mobilisation of labour. The head of construction needs to keep working out different ideas and plans at the back of his mind so that, when needed, a particular plan may come in handy. At the beginning of a project, the head of the organisation calls for a meeting and tells,’there will be delays in engineering, procurement, but construction has to absorb all.

It’s important to set priorities from the planning stage and keep them focused throughout the project. Even if other or new priorities come up you can always add more during the process. That’s why it’s important to implement a priority assessment to ensure that you are giving the right priority to each activity. After the prioritization assessment, you can identify which activities could be performed simultaneously or the right order to achieve them.

While prioritising tasks, 1- site head should have a very clear picture in mind. Needs to be practical. 2- At times, decisions like not prioritising utilities and pushing process areas proves detrimental. 3- While prioritising, resources in hand and resources needed for change in priority should be available on hand. 4- Only changes that are must from the point of view of commissioning should be worked upon. ‘Good to have’ decisions and ideas can wait for later like a turnaround.

It's very essential that Chief planner keeps a close eye on resources like P&M, MHE's , availability of experienced Supervision and most important Skilled workforce to meet Catch up plans when there are slippages in project timelines. One must work backwards from agreed timelines to work out required targets in terms of productivity per manday and associated resources. All stakeholders need to buy in to this microplan and a focused approach in mobilising all that is required to meet deadlines need to worked upon. If delays are due to work front releases from Owners end, a frank discussion will help achieve above goals rather than any blame game. Cumulative efforts from all ends required to achieve common goal of project completion

Keeping in mind the situations on the ground, site head should bear in mind; 1- Site will be told to compensate the losses due to other departments. 2- He should be dynamic to have a team of experienced and talented people who can take decisions and deliver. 3- Any delay in decision making will result in delays. Hence, transparency and daily review meetings should be able to keep the project going on track. 4 At times with proper presentations, one can convince the management to spend a little extra on resources in order to reach the desired goals. For example: hiring of higher capacity cranes.can eliminate erection of tall/ heavy equipment in one piece. Also dressing of equipment on the ground helps. Same way, modularising.
