Kayson is a leading engineering and construction company with more than 4 decades of experience in 5 Divisions (housing and building, railway transportation systems, water and wastewater, oil, gas, industry, and civil). Exemplary exporter of technical and engineering services for 11 years in more than 10 countries and ranked 99 in the top 250 international and ranked 8 in multi-Unit residential contractors.

This project is under construction with a gross floor area of 18,000 square meters and 80% progress, including structure, architecture, mechanical, and electrical, using the top-down method and P&C project delivery system.

Responsibilities

• Preparing the necessary initial activities to start the project and the organizational chart of the project.
• Reviewing contracts, specifications, project data and other technical documents to define the project's scope, create work breakdown structure (WBS), define deliverables, work packages, resource planning and levelling, and define milestones based on the project's goals.
• Setting up cost breakdown structure (CBS), determining projects budget and cash flows.
• Developing a robust and detailed database for recording all actual activities of construction (PMIS) and a high level of accuracy and data validation process.
• Visiting the project's site on a regular basis for tracking the physical actual progress based on a pre-defined project measurement system.
• Updating the schedule on a weekly basis for analysing the updated critical path and identifying issues before they occur.
• Analysing the project's delays and reviewing the contractors' claims.
• Preparing various look ahead schedules (weekly/monthly), providing critical path analysis, and trend forecasts.
• Forecasting project finish date using both CPM and EVM.
• Worked closely with the project manager and assisted with tracking, reporting, and communicating progress.
• Providing training and a procedure to contractors' schedulers to prepare the schedule and update the project schedule.
• Holding regular project control meetings with other project team members and contractors to track the project's progress and identify the project's issues and risks.
• Tracking project risks (threat/opportunity) and preparing an accurate response plan.
• Designing, and producing daily, weekly, monthly, and stakeholders-oriented reports and presentations for stakeholders' meetings.
• Producing integrated and comprehensive delay report.
• Preparing a 4D time model to better understand the project construction method.
• Managing, mentoring, and supervising the project planning and controlling team of 3 people.

Achievements

• By analysing the status and forecasting the future based on the trends, I helped the manager and team reduce the project's duration by increasing the workforce, shifting work, improving construction methods, and managing interdependencies for material delivery.
• Creating a regular and accurate structure to select contractors, provide procurement based on the schedule and minimize the lack of critical materials in the project due to having a comprehensive monthly execution plan.
• Accepted all claims for an extension by preparing a strong and reliable delay analysis report by preparing an optimal schedule and tracking and recording change and delay events in a detailed database.
• Reducing the project's financial loss by 5% with the claim extension accepted.
• Effective and increasing collaboration by introducing BIM technologies in the project and mitigating construction costs due to rework, clashes, misunderstanding, material take-off, and lack of information flow.
• Creating a professional and reliable image of the owner by implementing BIM technology in the planning and scheduling (4D time model).
• Received the highest quality and efficiency score from the PMO of the company's head office.
• Promoted a planning mindset within the project team.

Responsibilities

• Developing work breakdown structure (WBS), cost breakdown structure (CBS), and project measurement system (PMS).
• Collaborated with the project team to plan, schedule and estimate project activity times, sequencing those activities from concept to completion.
• Preparing and developing a detailed schedule and updating for analysing the progress status.
• Tracking the progress of all activities and comparing them with their baseline values.
• Design and prepare the project's progress report on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
• Preparing a look-ahead schedule that reflects the priority activities to be executed.
• Preparing project cash flow and balancing the budget.
• Identification and evaluation of risk and impacts to the project.
• Collaborating with the project manager in preparing and updating project details for budgeting, forecasting and actual data reporting and subsequent reconciliation of costs.

• Preparing presentations, organising and participating in a meeting with stakeholders.

Achievements

• Developed a task-oriented and realistic schedule for better managing work packages and resource allocation.
• Reducing the preparing daily, weekly, and monthly report time by 70% with the develop a detailed database for recording all actual activities of construction.
• Reduced project end time (4 months) by preparing a detailed delay analysis report and eliminating the financial impacts associated with delay.
• Introducing new virtual constructed methods in the project planning and controlling and shifting their mindset.
• Received the highest quality and efficiency score from the PMO of the company's head office.
• Promoted to a senior planner due to my work ethic and high level of performance.
