BIM 360 Glue: Building Coordination Time into Your Project Schedule
BIM 360 Glue: Building Coordination Time into Your Project
Schedule
Champion
and Pursuit Team
Steps Involved:
STEP 1: Begin
with Step 7 (Setting Up the Correct Coordination Phasing for Your Project)
STEP 2: What’s
your start date for coordination? Did
the PM and or Superintendent already include durations for your
coordination? This is important to know
what you have to work with
STEP 3: Work
with the Scheduler to place coordination phasing into the baseline schedule
STEP 4: Based on the Coordination Phasing,
incorporate each of the 5 stages per phase into the baseline schedule
STEP 5: A
good baseline is 3 weeks per Stage
- Detail
– Week 1
- Coordinate
– Week 2
- Finalize
Stage – Week 3
STEP 6: Week 3 in some cases can overlap with Week 1 of the next Stage
Why this step is important:
1. By breaking out the coordination schedule by
phase to stages provide the project team with a great perspective on how long
it will really take for coordination.
2. This ultimately leads to fabrication and
layout, critical to follow in the schedule.
Do's:
1. Get Feedback from the subcontractors as
necessary. Be sure they buy into the coordination schedule early.
2. Be sure to provide coordination schedule as
early as you can, this drives MEP rough in.
3. Be detailed with your schedule, helps staying
on target.
Don’ts:
1. Create
a generic schedule
