Do it smart: i believe that if you think 10 minutes on something before you do, it will save hours of work and rework. Therefore while we are doing the activity list and digging through the bill of quantities we will create our work breakdown structure wbs and cost loading (cost loading will help us to create the project cash flow and manpower histograms later on).

 

Do it professional: most of the planning engineers ( i was on of them) create the time schedule from general information about the project or from the drawings only, I believe that the most important document to create a time schedule is the bill of quantities B.O.Q along with the project drawings to know and understand the contents of the project.
