Frequently Asked Questions

What is construction work planning?
Construction work planning is the process utilized in capital project management to lay out how the work will be managed and executed. This begins as early as design and procurement and continues through the operation of contractors and subcontractors.
What are construction rules of credit?
Construction rules of credit is a method of progressing construction tasks or materials through weighted steps. Each step is assigned a percent value for the units as a way to partially progress work at a more detailed level than the control budget may allow. An example would be partially claiming a single unit of pipe by completing each step of unload/sort, fit up, weld and quality check.
Why would you measure project performance percent complete?
The project performance percent complete is a key variable used in calculating Earned Value. It specifies what percentage of the activities that are planned have been completed, therefore providing the driver for what cost, quantity or labor units have been earned to date.
What is a construction daily plan?
A construction daily plan combines three key field data points, time, quantities, and daily logs, into a single streamlined process. The plan communicates activities to complete, the amount of time planned for each, and additional key talking points for the crew to know as they approach their day. By capturing each data point throughout the shift, the daily plan becomes an operational record of what happened that day for each crew on the project.
How does construction daily planning differ from workface planning?
The added element of quantity tracking is what differentiates construction daily planning. While workface planning focuses on analyzing, forecasting and planning workforce supply and demand, construction daily planning takes this to the next level by integrating the project quantities that need to be completed into the analysis. This then becomes the driving force behind the forecasting of workforce moving forward.
How do you measure construction progress?
There are many ways to measure construction progress, but they all generally come back to calculating units completed. Whether those units are construction task focused, cost focused, schedule focused, or built through weighted rules of credit is up to the project or client. In many cases, a hybrid approach will be used based on the scope and critical nature of the work.
What is a timesheet in construction?
A construction timesheet is the method for recording and tracking the amount of time craft workers spend on the project. Typically, timesheets include the hours worked for each craft, coded to specific budget or task items for the project. In some cases, additional information such as quantities completed for the coded tasks and compliance questions are also captured on the timesheet.
What are the benefits of combining construction planning and execution?
By integrating the construction planning and execution in a single solution, detailed crew plans are delivered in sequence at the location of the operation. As the crew tracks each task, immediate insights into performance and productivity provide the analysis needed to continue or adjust the plan for optimal performance.
Who is involved in tracking construction time and quantities?
The responsibility for tracking time and quantities on construction projects can vary, but there is generally a level of approval. As time and quantities are entered, whether by individual craft or by the foreman for the crew, an approval workflow is initiated to review and validate submitted hours and quantities. In some cases, the client may be involved in the flow by signing off on the time and materials of each work ticket.

InEight Plan and InEight Progress made us totally rethink how we did daily work plans, quantity claiming and time collection. The technology streamlined the process, eliminated data entry and paperwork and kept our guys out in the field instead of behind a desk.
