Hi,
I have a project where I have split the fit out of a floor area into a number of different sections call them area 1,2,3 & 4.
Area 1 has UFH and so whilst this is being layed and screeded will restrict access to the other areas which come off it. Each of these areas may be at a different stage of fit out when area 1 UFH is to start.
I know I could link the activities all into and out of the UFH so that a gap/exclusion period is created however as its not specifically the activites that are constained but the period I want to exclude whilst UFH I was wondering if anyone could think of a way of applying constraints/exceptions to the activities so that there is a period of time excluded for areas 2, 3 & 4 that correlates to the UFH install in the other area. I would ideally like this to work through a reschedule and progress updates.
So for example if at planned stage area 1 ufh was starting and area 2 ceilings were due to start, area 2 ceilings would be pushed back to start following UFH install to area 1.
If however at progress period 1 the UFH was delayed in area 1, this would mean the ceilings in zone 2 could progress and the follow on activity say final fix to ceilings would be the item that was delayed due to access restrictions and the programme would account for this.
I thought about creating seperate calendars for the areas with exceptions whilst the UFH was carried out but this wouldnt withstand progress updates and reschedules.
Any help wouild be appreciated.
Regards
Chris
