Residential construction · Primavera P6

Bethel Estate
Residential Project

I developed an integrated construction programme covering schedule logic, procurement, resources, costs, baseline management, progress updating and variance analysis.

01 / Programme development

From construction scope
to executable plan.

I translated the project lifecycle into a structured Work Breakdown Structure, then defined activities, durations, milestones and logic. The objective was not simply to draw a Gantt chart, but to create a programme that could operate as a project-control tool.

02 / Logic & critical path

Dates driven by sequence,
not manual positioning.

Predecessor relationships reflect the construction method and connect procurement to installation. This makes critical-path and float analysis meaningful.

SUBSTRUCTURE SEQUENCEExcavate→Blind→Reinforce→Concrete→Drain→Backfill→Slab
“The schedule was driven by logic and dependencies—not simply by entering start and finish dates.”

03 / Procurement integration

Information and materials
before installation.

Engineering approvals and long-lead procurement were integrated with construction activities so the programme reflected real delivery constraints.

Baseline. Resource. Cost.
Update. Analyse.

The approved plan was preserved as a baseline. Labour, equipment and material resources were assigned to activities, supporting time-phased costs and meaningful comparison after progress updates.

09 / What the programme tells me

01

Schedule

When should the work happen?

Logic-linked activities establish the construction sequence and completion milestones.

02

Resources

What is required to deliver it?

Labour, equipment and materials are connected to the activities that consume them.

03

Cost

When will expenditure occur?

Resource and cost loading create a time-phased view of planned project expenditure.

04

Control

Are we still following the plan?

Baseline and variance analysis reveal movement and activities affecting performance.

10 / Project controls workflow

A connected control cycle.

My approach is to treat Primavera P6 as a project-control system, not simply a programme-drawing tool.

11 / Project outcome

From static schedule
to integrated control.

The final programme demonstrates my ability to take a construction scope and develop it into a structured controls model—connecting time, resources, cost, progress and variance to support informed decisions.
