Stage 1Sequence the Operations
1. Look at significant elements or stages of construction.
2. Based on the project documentation (BIM Model, Drawings, Bill of Quantities, Specifications) identify the main activities and think about a rough schedule.

3. Prepare a phasing diagram where appropriate.
Understand the link between the sequences of operations to be undertaken and the practicalities on site.
4. Do not have too many activities to begin with - 20 or 30 max.
5. Do not worry about minor details at this stage.
