Develop a programme of works and a procurement programme
Overview
This standard is about reviewing a detailed schedule of works that contain the project needs and range of services required in order to develop a programme of works and procurement programme for the project. It is about estimating, planning, drafting and presenting work and procurement programmes in accordance with current organisational requirements which are equal to or exceed current statutory and legislative requirements.
This standard is for people working in the occupational area of construction contracting operations management and can be used by operatives, supervisors and managers
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
Develop a programme of works P1 review the detailed schedule of works that contains a complete statement of the project needs and the services which will be required for completeness P2 identify key dates and critical programme requirements P3 agree a format for the programme of works which is appropriate to the form of contract, type of work and scope P4 estimate the work content and durations P5 incorporate appropriate and realistic allowances to meet anticipated eventualities P6 develop the programme of works and confirm it is achievable to meet the project needs P7 conduct necessary checks and obtain approvals for the content and presentation of programmes P8 use agreed methods for the production and record keeping of programmes which are consistent with project quality assurance procedures P9 present the programme of works to stakeholders, resolve any conflicts and make agreed adjustments
P10 present information clearly and accurately and reach agreement using a style and approach which maintains goodwill and trust
P11 ensure registers and records are maintained which are complete, accurate, up-to-date and copies are retained
Develop a procurement programme P12 confirm the areas of work for which resources will need to be procured and identify potential sources for obtaining them P13 identify lead times for ordering and receiving essential resources to meet the programme of works P14 analyse the critical path for the procurement and use of resources, building in sufficient float to optimise the programme of works P15 develop a detailed procurement programme in an agreed format which meets project requirements P16 identify any conflicts in the procurement programme, recommend feasible alternative programme logic and make agreed adjustments P17 confirm the procurement programme is consistent with the requirements of the overall project programme and relevant stakeholders P18 present information clearly and accurately and reach agreement using a style and approach which maintains goodwill and trus
