MPNH Floor Extension

Construction Schedule

A schedule and a description of the approach for completing the project is provided below. The schedule includes a description of the approach and plan for executing the work in terms of how the site will be organized, how work will flow through the site, and how material will be managed. The schedule will clearly indicate all activities, durations, sequencing relationships, early and late dates, total and free float, and the critical path.

The complete assembly of the floor extension is planned to take 6 weeks to complete, with five, eight hour working days (Monday to Friday) per week. The project can start any time of the year, but it would be ideal for the work to be done during the spring or summer time, due to there being less delay from harsh weather conditions during that time. Also, at the start of each work day, a safety meeting will be held so that all personnel on site can perform their work safely. The detailed schedule with the duration of each phase is explained below.
