Allowance for Max Lag?

Dear Shahul,

Planning Phase: The lags are used to reflect actual requirements at site.

Scheduling: The software nowadays are flexible to a large extent.

Basically, you need to write up your schedule to avoid the lag and use simple relationship.

With kind regards,

94. Non-overlapping Lag Relationships. This check entails looking for lags or Leads greater in duration than the Activity Duration. Lags and leads typically are used to allow related activities to overlap in time. When the lag is larger than the activity duration, this overlap condition no longer exists and the reason for using the SS or FF relationship disappears. If the lag used is too great, the activities will no longer overlap in time. This may be an entry error. Otherwise, I suggest that you convert to a different relationship that better describes the intended relationship. Suggest that you investigate converting to a standard FS relationship.

Many thanks Rafael and Samer

In connection to the same clarification, is there any rule of thumb for max total float allowance for a pro-gramme of works ?
