Scheduling
PDF Scheduling is a very important part of any project. Levco’s Project Manager is the task master that eats, sleeps, and breathes Scheduling. So much goes into creating a realistic time line, the reality is that no matter what you produce it is merely a measuring instrument. At Levco we strive to under promise and over deliver. During a project there are so many variable involved in hitting the expected completion date that we try very hard to balance the needs of all the players to achieve a reasonable completion date. Over the years we have learned several valuable lessons.
Our time line
- The order that we do our work matters, there are unwritten rules about the order of work to be done (Like in the movie Ghost Busters don’t cross the streams or it will end life as we know it)
- Don’t schedule folks on top of each other ( Everyone needs some space to spread out and make a mess.
- Respect Mother Nature. Sure enough, weather can delay a project no matter how much you want to finish on time.
- Drying times are finite. Nothing good comes from rushing.
- Hunting season is not a good time to do much of anything that depends upon Sub-Contractors
- Shit happens, plumbing fixtures arrive broken in the box. Specialty items are on back order. Inventories are low these days. under ordering a few marble tiles from Brazil can wreck a schedule.
Levco has come up with a time line that helps everyone keep track of where we are and where we want to be. We now use the Client Portal to schedule but this primitive form of looking at a project was very useful.
