## [[Risk Action Plan]] ### [[Risk Description|Description]] Due to [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]]'s reliance on centralized scheduling software disconnected from field foreman-level operations and limited in-house scheduling staff, there is a threat that the construction schedule may not be properly resource-loaded with crew counts, equipment, and subcontractor commitments, which may lead to unidentified resource conflicts, over-allocation of key trades, and schedule overruns when planned concurrent activities cannot actually be staffed simultaneously. > [!abstract]- Risk Analysis — Key Assumptions & Current Controls (click to expand) > > **Key Assumptions:** > - [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]]'s submitted baseline schedule contains activity durations that imply crew sizes consistent with the contract budget; however, the schedule as submitted does not contain resource-loading data confirming that those crews have been committed. > - The project's peak construction period (Months 8–14) requires simultaneous work by concrete, structural steel, mechanical, and electrical trades across three structure areas — resource conflicts at this peak are highly probable without coordinated resource planning. > - Key subcontractors (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation) have not yet provided resource-loaded schedules confirming their manpower commitments align with the prime schedule. > > **Current Controls:** [[Section 01 32 16.20 Construction Progress Schedule]] requires resource-loaded schedule submission; [[Bowser]] has issued a formal deficiency notice to [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]] requesting resource loading data. Monthly progress meetings include schedule review with [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]]'s project manager. > [!abstract]- Sources of Information & References (click to expand) > > **Sources:** > - [[Section 01 32 16.20 Construction Progress Schedule]] — Resource loading requirements, schedule update procedures, and contractor obligations for schedule maintenance. > > **Attachments:** > - None ### [[Risk Mitigation Strategy]] REDUCE — [[Bowser]] is requiring [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]] to submit a fully resource-loaded schedule update at the next monthly progress meeting, with crew counts and equipment resources assigned to all activities in the 90-day look-ahead window. Subcontractor resource commitments will be incorporated into the resource-loaded schedule as binding representations. [[Bowser]] will use the resource-loaded schedule to perform a conflict analysis identifying any dates where the total resource demand exceeds what can realistically be deployed on-site given access constraints and laydown area limitations, providing an early warning of sequencing changes needed before the peak construction period. ### Possible Additional Actions - Require [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]] to conduct monthly resource planning meetings with all major subcontractors, with minutes provided to [[Bowser]] as documentation of resource commitment and early warning of emerging gaps. - Implement a look-ahead scheduling requirement where [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]] submits a 3-week rolling look-ahead schedule at each weekly progress meeting, showing planned crew counts by trade area — this provides field-level visibility independent of the master schedule. ### Comments & Recommendations Resource loading gaps are one of the most common and consequential schedule risks on large construction projects — identifying conflicts before they materialize in the field is significantly less costly than recovering from concurrent trade stacking. [[Bowser]] should treat the resource-loaded schedule submission as a contractual deliverable and formally withhold progress payment approval if it is not provided as required by [[Section 01 32 16.20 Construction Progress Schedule]]. ### Status - [ ] [[2026-03-05]] ^status-2026-03-05 - 🟡 **Resource Loading Submission:** [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]] submitted a partially resource-loaded schedule update March 3 — concrete and structural steel activities are resource-loaded; mechanical and electrical subcontractor resources remain missing; [[Bowser]] issued a second deficiency notice requiring complete submission by March 20. - 📊 **Conflict Analysis:** Preliminary review of available resource data identified a potential crew conflict in Month 10 where concrete formwork crew is double-allocated between the filter building and the pump station; [[Bowser]] reviewing with [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]]'s scheduler to determine whether sequential phasing is feasible. - [ ] [[2025-09-20]] ^status-2025-09-20 - 🚫 **Schedule Deficiency:** Baseline schedule submitted by [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]] contains no resource loading data — activity durations imply 6–8 person crews in multiple areas simultaneously but no crew assignments are documented; formal deficiency notice issued September 20. - 📅 **Requirement Confirmed:** [[Bowser]] confirmed with [[BUILT RIGHT CONSTRUCTION]]'s project manager that resource loading is a contractual requirement per [[Section 01 32 16.20 Construction Progress Schedule]] and that failure to provide it will be treated as a schedule submittal deficiency.
