Technical Program:
Determining Activity Durations in the Construction Schedule
Abstract:
AACE International Recommended
Practice No. 32R-04, Determining Activity Durations, is an introduction to the topics
necessary for this stage of the schedule development process. In this
presentation, Dr. Mubarak expands on those topics from a Construction Schedule
perspective, including areas that were not covered in the RP. These topics
include: the impact of resources on activity durations, the relationship
between the cost estimate and the schedule, and establishing allowances for time
contingency. His review of the methods used to establish activity durations for
construction schedules will address the following questions:
·
Who should determine the durations?
·
What is the owner’s responsibility?
·
Where does one find sources for production
rates?
·
How important is duration accuracy?
·
Should risk management techniques influence
the process?
