The document outlines a 5-level program hierarchy for planning and executing construction projects. Level 1 is a 1-page schematic summary of the overall execution strategy. Level 2 is a selective summary report updated monthly. Level 3 is the integrated master program, a cross-functional strategic program demonstrating execution strategies, milestones, critical paths and resources. Level 4 are functional execution programs set by Level 3, updated monthly. Level 5 are 4-week construction execution programs to coordinate daily construction activities on site.

EXECUTION PROGRAMS
LEVEL 1 – SCHEMATIC SUMMARY PROGRAM
PROGRAM TYPE: Schematic Program
REQUIRED: Tender Final Review; At Project Baseline
Establishment; Updated for Quarterly Contract Review
PROGRAM PURPOSE: Key high level document to
communicate overall project execution strategy and
critical / near critical paths as captured in the L3 IMP
PROGRAM RELATIONSHIP: Dependent on Level 3
program
RESPONSIBILITY: Planner
FORMAT: 1 Page, project specific, schematic with
annotations
TYPICALLY DEVELOPED BY: Planner
LEVEL 3 – INTEGRATED MASTER PROGRAM
PROGRAM TYPE: Integrated Master Program
REQUIRED: Tender Final Review; At Project Baseline Establishment; Updated for Monthly Contract Review
PROGRAM PURPOSE: Cross functional strategic program to project completion. Demonstrates execution strategies
, key milestones, critical paths(s) and project wide resource requirements.
PROGRAM RELATIONSHIP: Underpins forecast final cost. Sets framework for Level 4 and Level 5
RESPONSIBILITY: Planner
FORMAT: Bar Charts using Primavera P6 and Key Production Measure S-Curves / Histograms generated using
Primavera P6 / MS Excel
TYPICALLY DEVELOPED BY: Planner in consultation with functional leads (e.g. Design, Procurement,
Construction).
LEVEL 5 – EXECUTION PROGRAMS
PROGRAM TYPE Functional Execution Program
REQUIRED: Prior to commencement of associated works; Updated Weekly
PROGRAM PURPOSE: Short term planning to enable coordination of construction activities on
site.
PROGRAM RELATIONSHIP: Detailed L5 CEP to achieve L4 CEP targets. Planning parameters
set by L4 Execution Programs.
RESPONSIBILITY: SPE / Project Engineer
FORMAT: 4 Week Look Ahead (MS-Excel)
TYPICALLY DEVELOPED BY: Project Engineer(s), Site Engineer(s), Design Team Leader(s)
LEVEL 4 – EXECUTION PROGRAMS
PROGRAM TYPE: Functional Execution Program
REQUIRED: Prior to commencement of associated works; Updated Monthly
PROGRAM PURPOSE: Package / Area level planning to support the coordination and delivery of
logistics (e.g. Approvals, design, procurement, materials, labour, etc) to enable field execution of
construction
PROGRAM RELATIONSHIP: Planning parameters set by L3 IMP. May incorporate more aggressive
targets.
RESPONSIBILITY: Execution Teams; FORMAT: Primavera P6 / MSP
TYPICALLY DEVELOPED BY: Functional leads (e.g. Design, Procurement, Construction), with
support from Planner as required.
