levels of schedule is as follows: 1. There are normally five levels. 2.

Levels are based on the level of management and the level of details it contains. 3. Level 1 gives overall picture of the project.This level provides activties at the highest level of WBS,which is usually at project level.The level contains major milestones, Overall duration activties of the project(start and finish of the project). These can be monitored at this level regularly. 4. Level 2 schedule involves summarized or single activities in high level WBS i.e Milestones,Submmittals,design, construction,testing and commissioning.In this level,it is usually shown that when each item starts and finish only, this level does not contains the details e.g.Design item will have start and finish only without any futher breakdown. 5. Level 3 is usually provides reasonable details for the Level 2 schedules. These schedules are used for regular monitoring by the people on the field. 6.Level 4 & 5 schedules provides the greater details than the Level 3 schedules and usually used by the people who actually to he work.These shedules are advisable as these provides no flexibility to the work being carried out and very difficult to be followed. Hi Kris. The answer is no. The differance between the Lvls is the detail LVL of the activity and not the sort / organise. For Me it Works Like this. You start of with a Lvl 1 Schedule. Normallay done at a Project OME LVL (+-30 %)This will be no logic based schedule just a quick calc for overall duration. Then when you do your DFS you will go to a Lvl 2 )+-15%) Schedule Still no Logic just a bit more detail. When you start project implementation you start at a LVL 3. (I normally define a lvl 3 a schedule with logic the reason why the schedule first get to logic at lvl 3 is because normally when you do the engineering at this phased the scope is defined sufficiant to do a schedule. Then a Contractor Schedule becomes my LVl 4 and the progress Mesurement method is the lvl 5. Well in short you should be able to take an activity in lvl 3 and the deatial of that is the next level. Example

LVl 1 1) Build a Building LVL 2 1.1) Engineering 1.2) Procurement 1.3) Construction LVL 3 1.1.1) Foundation Engineering 1.1.2) Etc 1.2.1) Purchase Rebar 1.2.2) Purchase concrete 1.2.3) Purchase Doors 1.2.4) Etc 1.3.1) Excavation 1.3.2) Cast Foundation 1.3.3) Etc LVL 4) 1.1.1.1) Soil Investigation 1.1.1.2) Rebar Calc 1.1.1.3) Rebar Schedule ETC

Level 1 is contractual milestone dates. Level 2. Contains EPC split into discplines. E - Civil, Structural, Piping, Process etc. P - Onshore and Offshore. C - Nearly same as E. Level 3. E - Engineering Control List incorporated. P - Breakdown of Items. C - Method of Statement of Erection. Level 4. Resource loading and actual working version. S-Curve and period performance.

LEVEL 1 would be the final product, such as Building etc..... LEVEL 2: Engineering, Procurement, Construction phases LEVEL 3: Disciplinewise break-down of the LEVEL 2, for example: Construction phase -> Foundation, Structural works,Architectural works, External works, M&E works, Testing&Commissioing etc

LEVEL 4: Further break-down of the LEVEL 3, for example: Architectural works-> Doors/windows, Blockwall, Wall Tile, Floor Tile, Ceiling, Pastering, Painting, etc...... LEVEL 2 or LEVEL 3: Summary of progress at this level required for client submission LEVEL 4: Summary of progress at this level for our own monitoring purpose(SubContractors works etc. where applicable) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 : : : : : Project Management & Strategy (Major Milestones) Project Control Level Cost Account & Work packages Measurable Items Work Steps
