Perhaps you have heard of resource-loaded schedules. What exactly are they? And how can they impact your project?

A Resource Loaded Schedule defines how resources should be allocated and consumed throughout a project’s timeline. You can also use it to check if resource allocation rules are correctly followed and used efficiently.

An RPMS Resource Loaded Schedule delivers benefits to all parties.

Since the schedule is the basis for the entire plan, the project manager can then lock the baseline, and execution can begin faster than traditionally possible.

Using our Resource Loaded Schedule, each subcontractor is aware of the scope, work plan, target schedule and compensation method.

Resource loading provides a useful tool for assessing a subcontractor’s performance at any time.

A Resource Loaded Schedule provides you as a contractor with updated manpower data on every task your subcontractor is assigned to complete at each stage of your project.

A Resource Loaded Schedule reduces the risk of unexpected delays. It can serve as a way to resolve construction-related problems before they become insurmountable.

As progress input comes in from each subcontractor every month, the data you get from your resource loading schedule acts as an accurate snapshot of the project in terms of work achieved.

The data generates accurate cash flow predictions, allowing you to keep close track of how your funds are spent.

You can review costs across all subcontractors’ work, minimising front loading and distorted cost assignments.

It also allows subcontractors to cost-load submittals, fabrication and delivery, allowing them to get paid when the payable work occurs.

The initial time and investment spent in resource loading systems ensure the likelihood of a successful project.
