  1. Request construction schedule from the Scheduling Department.
  2. Suppose the project is a hard bid with multiple general contractors. In that case, KAST typically only shares the anticipated construction schedule with a selected group of subcontractors with whom KAST has established relationships (foundation, shell, elevators, etc.).
  3. If the project is a negotiated project, the anticipated construction schedule should be sent to all trades.
  4. It would need the Operations and Subcontractor Input
  5. Preference is for schedules to be done by the KAST scheduling department.
  6. The Chief/VP meets with the Scheduling Dept weekly to review the projects we have schedules needed to confirm we are on track.
  7. The lead estimator should schedule a kick-off meeting with PX and the scheduler to ensure they are on the same page and establish expectations and due dates.
  8. Construction schedule discussion
    1. The schedule should be issued to subs (full detail) during the bidding phase. To do that, we need to get it finalized early. (See points #2 and #3 above)
    2. The following are anticipated schedule types:
      1. Rough Durations
        1. No further breakdown is available
      2. Detailed schedule
        1. Duration per floor for shell, finishes, MEP, etc. Sitework and skin are just overall durations, not specific activities (certain AHJs may require more detail, like WASD in Miami).
        2. This is the schedule that should go out to subs.
        3. The owner version would be the rolled-up version. The amount of rolling up will be dependent on the owner. Start by offering overall duration, then add milestones. Get with Operations and Chandler before agreeing to more.
        4. The owner contract version should identify key owner requirements that align with the 90-day start-up schedule.
      3. Contract Baseline schedule
        1. The detailed schedule was updated, and more details were provided after input from early buy subs.
        2. Preferably, it should be submitted to the owner for approval 60-90 days after contract signing, but sometimes sooner due to project-specific requirements (paid pre-con, owner demanding it, etc.).
        3. PMs may put condensed versions in subcontracts to focus on overall timelines and make the durations (units per day/week) more critical for their contract.
      4. 90-day start-up schedule
    3. Developed by PM/PX (with help from scheduler when needed) once the project seems likely to go to contract.
    4. It should be completed prior to the contract, and items should be added to the detailed schedule.
