The process for creating a project schedule in architecture design is typically as follows:
1. Define project scope: The first step is to define the project scope. This involves setting objectives for the project and identifying constraints that may impact the schedule.
2. Identify project tasks: Once the project objectives are defined, the next step is to identify the tasks required to achieve those objectives. This would include tasks such as site analysis, concept design, construction documentation, and construction administration.
3. Determine task dependencies: After identifying the tasks, the next step is to determine the dependencies between tasks. This will help to identify which tasks must be completed before others can begin.
4. Estimate task duration: The project team must then estimate the duration for each task. This can be done using historical data or expert judgment.
5. Develop a project timeline: With the task dependencies and estimated durations in place, a project timeline can be developed. This will show the start and end dates for each task and the overall project duration.
6. Identify critical path: The critical path is the sequence of tasks that must be completed on time for the project to be completed as planned. This is identified by looking for the longest sequence of dependent tasks.
7. Allocate resources: The final step is to allocate the necessary resources to each task. This includes assigning staff, determining budgets, and identifying any other necessary resources.
Once all these steps are completed, the project schedule can be finalized and used to guide the project through its design and construction phases.
