Three levels of schedules will be developed over the course of the project with
increasing amount of detail, as follows:

Level I Project Milestone Schedule The Level I schedule shall include the
most significant events in the project and planned dates for the
accomplishment of each. This will be developed at the beginning of the
project by the Project. Scheduler and maintained by the Project Controls
Engineer.
Summary Schedule The Summary Schedule (sometimes referred to as a
Level II schedule) is a time sequence network of summary activities and their
associated planned dates. It is developed by the Project Scheduler by
summarizing (i.e., rolling up) the Level III schedule and provides an overview
of all phases of the project for periodic corporate management. This Level II
schedule will be incorporated into the schedule maintained by the Project
Controls Engineer, which also tracks internal projects related to the
construction work.
Level III Control Schedule (CS) The Level III schedule will be prepared by
the Project Scheduler utilizing the precedence critical path method covering
all phases of the project and incorporating milestones and other key events
defined in the Level I schedule. Activities included in the CS cover the
permitting, conceptual and detailed design, procurement, construction, and
start-up. Interfaces between all activities are included which assures
integration of all phases of the project. The construction and start-up portions
of the CS will be developed in sufficient detail to logically complete the
project and to focus engineering and procurement with early need dates. The
CS will be utilized by the project team to monitor and analyze construction
and start-up activities and progress of the Engineering and sub Contractors.

3.2.2 Estimating

out work. It will be based on a well defined site plot plan, general arrangement
drawings, and preliminary drawings.
The project cost estimate will be updated with actual award procurements and
construction proposal pricing that are received as the project progresses. The number
of unknowns will be reduced and the accuracy of the estimate will therefore be
improved.
3.2.3

Budgeting

The budget estimate has been developed in conjunction with the Tender Drawings
and is based on the approved scope of work, and known constraints and site
conditions at the time of preparation.

Harmeet Singh (Regd. No. --------) PAGE 14

ASSIGNMENT: PGP IDM 11- PRINCIPLES % PRACTICES OF MANAGEMENT

The level of contingency applied to the estimate aligns with the assumed level of
project risk.
The project budget will be a controlled document.
3.2.4 Forecasting
The project will manage cost changes through Contract Change Orders. The purpose
of these documents will be to describe the change and impacts to the schedule and
cost.
Client need to approve the Contract Change Orders prior to the work being
performed. The Project Controls group will manage the process and maintain logs and
files for the changes. Forecasts of cost to complete will be derived from factoring the
changes into the project cost estimate and thus reported on a monthly basis.
3.2.5 Progress Assessment for Vendor Pay Requests
Project Schedule will be analyzed on a monthly basis and deviation and analysis
reports will be prepared by the Project Controls group with support from the project
team.
Other reports will be developed as required and tailored specifically for the projects
needs to assess actual progress by the subcontractors. Progress payments will be
made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the relevant contract.
3.2.6 Reporting
Monthly reports will be produced with a written summary prepared by the Project
Controls group that indicates float analysis, problem areas, trends, and risks for
Project Manager and project team to review. For critical activities that are trending 20
days or more behind, will be required to develop recovery plans to ensure the project
completion date is not impacted.
3.3.

Contract Management
3.3.1 Compliance plan
A compliance plan will be generated for each major contract to ensure each party has
achieved the agreed requirements. This plan will be reviewed by the Project
Controls Engineer periodically, or as required by milestones achievement on each
contract.

This list will be reviewed from time-to-time in a meetings
3.4.

Risk Management
Risk management for the project will be the responsibility of all Contractor project
management staff. It is expected that lessons learned from previous projects and
excellent planning will help avoid many of the risks present on this type of project.
Selection of appropriate expertise, based on knowledge and experience, will be
fundamental in addition to the requirement of good communications between the
Owner and each contractor.
Many types of risk exist for the project, including business, commercial, permitting,
contracting, etc. The most tangible is the risk of loss which may occur at any time, but
especially during procurement and construction of the project. This risk of loss is
covered through the various forms of property insurance carried by Contractor. For all
other forms of risk, full risk management plans will be developed to identify where
risks may exist, the cause of such risk, the effect, and a mitigation plan for those risks
which are considered either highly probably or costly.
