Schedule Updating
1. Schedule durations and sequences often vary
from actual durations and sequences
– Subcontractors might use different methods
– Force Majeure events delay the project
– Etc
2. Participants would like to know how the
project is progressing
– Owners – When can I move in? How much should I
pay this month? What milestones have been met?
– Designers – When do I release drawings
– Subcontractors – when do I come on to the site?
Usefulness of frequent schedule
updating
• Current state of the project is always
known
• Updates provide a valuable record of
project status at a given time
– Can document changes, responsibilities and
delays throughout the project
– Useful during claims proceedings
• Schedule is a document that can be
followed
More on updates
• Schedules should be updated periodically
– Especially if a major event such as a logic
change occurs
• Updates should show
– New start and completion dates
– Completed activities
– Percentage progress on activities
