Open each section to explore the planned learning activities.

Prepare the construction scope
  • Define a work breakdown and stable activity identifiers
  • Separate model objects into meaningful construction tasks
Link model and programme
  • Build and check a Navisworks TimeLiner pilot
  • Review missing, duplicate and misleading activity assignments
Develop the SYNCHRO workflow
  • Import a controlled schedule and map model resources
  • Review work zones, temporary tasks and installation sequence
Compare scenarios and report
  • Compare baseline and revised sequences against the same scope
  • State progress evidence, data date and remaining uncertainty

Before you start

A reviewed model, an activity list and basic quantity-takeoff knowledge.
