In the complex realm of project management, Scheduling and Project Controls demand a myriad of tasks and developments, requiring substantial resources and expertise. If you are looking for more cost-efficient ways to meet your scheduling and project controls requirements, look no further –PM ERA is your dedicated partner, offering expertise in the following key areas:
Linear Scheduling is used in projects where work happens continuously or repeatedly along a linear path, interacting with fixed locations. Examples include tunnelling, highways, railways, pipelines, etc. The key tool for scheduling these projects is the ‘Time-Location’ chart –a two-axis chart where one axis shows the location between construction points, and the other axis displays the construction timeline. Each task is linked to both time and location.
The Time-Location chart is a helpful tool for validating linear project schedules and managing resources and crews efficiently. Time-Location charts are easy to understand, and a single page Time-Location chart report replaces hundreds of pages of Gantt charts.
PM ERA’s scheduling experts are skilled at creating linear schedules and Time-Location charts using TILOS and Turbo Chart. As Turbo Chart partner, PM ERA provides a cost-efficient solution for linear scheduling. Click here to learn more.
4D Scheduling is a smart way to plan projects. It combines the project schedule with a 3D model to add time as the fourth dimension, simulating how construction will happen over time. This technique lets you see the project visually, from planning to construction, helping you spot conflicts early and find solutions. It provides more details than the usual CPM schedule, showing out-of-sequence activities and team conflicts. Additionally, 4D Scheduling is great for doing “what-if” analyses and reviewing construction strategies on a big scale.
4D Scheduling gets even cooler when you add cost information, turning it into ‘5D’ scheduling for effective cost management. By integrating cost into the schedule, you not only see how the project unfolds over time but also track expenses. This ‘5D’ approach enhances your ability to plan, visualize, and manage both time and cost aspects of construction projects. PM ERA, as the exclusive Powerproject partner in Ontario, Canada, offers an advanced 4D/5D scheduling tool that seamlessly incorporates time & cost into the 3D model for comprehensive scheduling and project controls.
