CENTER 4th FLOOR REMODEL
April 22, 2002 Update
THERE'S NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOOD PLANNING.
Bond project managers are currently putting their heads together in order to produce the most efficient construction schedule possible for the Center 4th Floor Remodel. Construction schedules are really the organization of work by its nature and time elements in a sequential manner from the start to the finish of a project. The sequence is not random but occurs in a predetermined manner dictated by the nature of construction. For example, you must clear and level the site before you pour foundations. Furthermore, you must also know that the site prep takes a particular number of days to occur and the pouring of foundations another specific amount of time. The nature and time of each element of construction is then plotted on a horizontal bar graph spanning the days and months of the year. In this way, project managers are able to have an overall view of the project and yet see the individual detail at any given time. In addition to the nature and time elements of the remodel, bond project managers are also deliberating about some unique aspects of work on the Center 4th floor that directly influences the schedule. For example, the managers are devising both a safe and effective way to transport materials on and off the floor and the most practical way to place the huge air handler units on top of the building. The tentative schedule shows construction commencing in September of this year, shortly after completion of relocation activities. Currently, the architects and engineers are at the 50% mark in the preparation of the construction documents.
Questions and comments about any bond construction activity may be directed to 463-5027 or e-mailed to bond@lanecc.edu. All communication received will be regularly reviewed by the Bond Project Management Team.
