CE-GY 8353 – Construction Scheduling – Spring 2025
Lab 3: Creating a P6 Schedule
Create a schedule using Primavera P6 for the activity list in Lab 1. Use your logic diagrams from Lab 1 to help with the logic in Lab 3. Use this opportunity to correct or improve any logic errors.
> You must use Primavera P6 for the assignment.
> Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the project.
> Add activity codes to the schedule for Phase and Responsibility.
> Create a 5-day calendar with holidays for the project at the “project” level. All activities should be placed on this calendar.
> Use a data date of March 1, 2025 for the schedule.
Lab Deliverables:
Submit all electronically on Brightspace (combined pdf file for items 1-4 below and item 5 as a separate file.)
1. A written narrative discussing a description of the project, approach to creating the schedule, the critical path and major milestones.
2. A printed Gantt chart showing all activities by WBS with appropriate columns.
3. A printed Gantt chart showing only the critical path with appropriate columns.
4. A printed Gantt chart showing the activity code columns.
5. A total float or logic report by project report for the project.
6. A schedule log.
7. Electronic copy of your schedule (.xer file).
Make sure your Gantt charts are formatted correctly so that the information is legible, and the columns are only one page wide. Chart titles must also be included.
You may discuss different approaches for the project with fellow classmates; however, each student must submit their own work product for this lab.
