Tender / Bid in early design

Based on major milestones, key deliverables, and by system 

Hard Logic, Constraints, Constructability, Management of traffic, safe access to work 

Based on project constraints, owner requirements, and baseline schedule (if available)

Can use course parameters like number of floors and floor area (commercial) 

Tender / Bid in advanced design

By division or system and Constructability 

Hard Logic, Constraints, Constructability, Management of traffic, safe access to work 

Based on project constraints, owner requirements, and baseline schedule (if available)

Can use course parameters like number of floors and floor area (commercial) 

Preconstruction

Based on area, levels, systems and scope packages 

Hard Logic, Constraints, Constructability, Management of traffic, safe access to work 

Based on project constraints, owner requirements, and baseline schedule (if available)

Can use quantities by system, level and/or element

Buyout 

Based on area, levels, systems and scope packages 

Hard Logic, Constraints, Constructability, Management of traffic, safe access to work 

Based on project constraints, owner requirements, and baseline schedule (if available)

Can use quantities by system, level and/or element. Static durations can be used for subcontracted scope 

Construction

Based on subcontractor coordination, field team input (pull plan) and constructability review 

Hard Logic, Constraints, Constructability, Management of traffic, safe access to work 

Based on project constraints, owner requirements, and baseline schedule (if available)

Can use quantities by system, level and/or element. Static durations can be used for subcontracted scope
