8.1 Sample Section with Data Table
8.1.1 Technical Review Example
This section reviews the preparation and presentation of the project schedule for its technical
correctness and the completeness of its preparation as a critical path method based scheduling
tool that can be successfully used to model and monitor the project.
The schedule was generated and submitted in [software format] (example— Project
Management, Release 5.0). [Software] is customarily used and accepted for project scheduling in
the construction industry. A hard copy of the schedule and a written narrative titled “Basis of
Schedule Development” were also submitted.
There are two predominant calendars in use. The majority of the physical construction activities
are based on a five day work week with non‐work days for holidays and weather delays. The
design and other activities are on a calendar that is based on a five day work week with non‐
work days for holidays. Additional calendars are used in the schedule for other specific types of
activities. Following is a listing of all the calendars, and the activity usage of each:
