I am a Phd student. I would like to focus on the construction planning process. My objectives are:
1, List the formal tasks or considerations or decisions which the planners need to do during construciton planning (e.g, select construction method, planning site logistics, do site waste management plans, etc)----could you give some comments on what are the tasks?
2, List all the information requirement for doing those tasks (for example, what information are reqired for selection of construction method. for exmaple, we may need the drawings, the stutory and the subcontractors’ input etc.)
3, Develop a programme of planning which can do planning of plannning. I thinks this programme of planning can help the planing manager to manage the planning process and manage the whole planning team such as what tasks should be done, and what information are requred and where can get this information and when can get those information and what is the deadline to delivery planning deliverables (e..g when need to publish the work method statement?)
could you please give your comments? (e.g. do you think this research can help you? all the comments are welcome)

My understanding is in this forum, Planning means scheduling (time management)
the things you listed in 1) are not the main responsibity of a scheduler, althought some time scheduler can do these things. Scheduler will work close with designer/site engineer..... to develope the schedule. Planner is not the one to make decisions for these things,but can give valuabe suggestion/analysis to support the decision maker.
what information are required vary greatly depend on the stage of the project ( conceptual design, detail design, bidding, awarded...),and what side you are working for (client, contractor, consultant...). Sometime I did schedules with only a piece of layout drawing, sometime dozens of detail construction drawing. Most of the time just try to find whatever you can find to make the schedule as realistic as possible.
