Overview

 

The “Schedules” folder has two sub-menus:

 

•Schedules: The “Schedules” sub-menu allows entry and definition of project “Schedules”.  A “Schedule” is the “title” of a group of “like” work.  “Schedules” maybe grouped by geographical location (e.g. Gurnet Roadworks), by individual structures (e.g. Blackwood Bridge) and/or by Discipline (e.g. Street Lighting).  Schedules displayed in the “Schedules section are also referred to as “Parent Schedules”
 

•Work Items:  The “Work Items” sub-menu allows entry and definition of “Work Items”.  “Work Items” are discrete work activities that have clearly defined measurable quantities and rates.  “Work Items” may be populated beneath each Schedule to provide a “Work breakdown Structure” which can be linked to individual Lots to provide clear Lot traceability, management of project quantities and Schedule Valuations for work completed to date.

 

 

The “Schedule” structure is User defined and should be set-up at the commencement of the project and before any lots are raised.  The “Schedule” structure should be selected to suit the Project and where possible be based around a pre-existing Work breakdown Structure.  Pre-existing Work Breakdown Structures may include those associated with the Head Contract (e.g. Schedule of Rates), the Bid Estimate (e.g. Direct Cost Summary) or the Project Cost Code Structure.  “Schedule” is a mandatory selection criteria within the Registers and will need to be defined before any Lots can be raised.  The use of “Work Items” is optional.
