How to use it

  1. List the número of tasks of the project (según the desglose EDT or plan of project)
  2. Assign the duración mean estimated per task considerando the complejidad and recursos disponibles
  3. Estimate the percentage of paralelismo: tasks that can ejecutarse simultáneamente (30% is típico in construcción)
  4. Calculate the días laborabl is total considerando the solape of tasks paralelas
  5. Convert a weeks laborabl is (÷5 días/week) and añade a 15% to contingenci is (climatología, retrasos of supplies)
  6. Compare with the term contractual to Verify the viabilidad of the cronograma

Common mistakes

  • ⚠️ Planning all the tasks in serie: the construcción allows many solap is (installations while secan soleras, etc.)
  • ⚠️ Not adding margin of contingencies: retrasos per lluvia, missing of materials or averías of machinery are usual
  • ⚠️ Forget the tiempos of curado of the hormigón (7-28 días según elemento estructural) in the secuencia of tasks
  • ⚠️ Not considering the periodos of vacaciones, festivos local is and días of climatología adversa según the zone
  • ⚠️ Confusing días laborabl is with días naturales: the term of ejecución suele referirse a días laborables

Worked example

Calculate project duration for 5 tasks with dependencies.

Results: {dias_total} días laborables, {weeks} weeks, {semanas_con_imprevistos} weeks with 15 % of contingencies.
