Short Term Planning Procedures and Progress Recording

Abstract

Short term planning encompasses all programming and planning procedures undertaken during the progress of work on site.This includes the preparation of stage programmes every four to six weeks. Stage programmes enable the master programme to be broken down into greater detail and more manageable proportions and takes into account current resources and information avail­able from the architect and consulting engineer. Weekly planning by the site foreman enables the requirements of the stage programming to be analysed into further detail and directly involves site management decision making. This enables subcontractors and suppliers to be closely integrated into the planning process.
