Step 8 — Review Resources

Resource unavailability times (restricted days or hours of work)

consideration of long lead-time procurement of specialist resources or consultants

Are overseas resources required? will these resources be working remotely and will there be sufficient supervision/management?

specialist resources – are they in short supply and high demand, for;

what are key client resources that may impact essential documentation reviews and onsite inspections (design review/approval/inspections)

what are the controlling resources/labour – eg structure crews (formworkers, reinforcement fixers) can be considered as controlling resources

before trying to plan the best utilisation of resources – determine what resources are available 

check the availability and experience of local resources/contractors, particularly for controlling resources

are local resources already over committed

do local (regional/remote location) resources have the same productivity as metropolitan resources

is there sufficient local supervision staff available

do resources/supervision need to be imported to a remote location

is the choice of installation/assembly method influenced by: 

consider installation methods that reduce labour congestion 

Testing & Commissioning by specialist contractors/consultants

will resources be on a work/time off roster eg. Fly in Fly out. Additional resources will be required to maintain work crew sizes and production rates 

Consider whether schedule logic will be resource driven

consider local Industrial Relations requirements
