EXECUTION PLAN & SCHEDULE
SCHEDULING METHODS & TOOLS
The RO schedule philosophy begins with the end in mind. The project team will work proactively to ensure that the shared goal of opening on time stays priority. RO’s development of a detailed program schedule includes critical path items such as document delivery dates, IKEA reviews, regulatory authority review periods, drawing package estimate preparation as well as detailed construction activities
REPORTS
Our team will use Oracle Primavera P6 Scheduling to develop the schedule. The project team works to structure a best fit for IKEA and project needs, tailoring the technology plan around what brings the project value. We create a 2-week lookahead schedule, a 3-week lookahead schedule, a month lookahead, and the master schedule. Scheduling reports are updated weekly and distributed monthly. In addition, the RO team has regulatory reviews every week with an updated schedule. These meetings are held at the jobsite office or trailer with the trade partners onsite.
RECOVERY
If required, RO will request additional manpower, equipment, materials and overtime work, if necessary, to make our milestone dates. These milestone deadlines will prevent massive acceleration efforts at the end of the project. Pull planning sessions will be used on an as needed basis to develop recovery schedules with the trade partners onsite to achieve each of the intermediate milestone dates.
PULL PLANNING TECHNIQUES
Our team will use Pull Planning techniques (LEAN) to build backwards to identify opportunities for acceleration or simultaneous activities to optimize the construction timeline. The Project Manager will be responsible for maintaining the project schedule and will lead developing a critical path method format. We seek input from trade partners, manufacturers and vendors to create a holistic schedule with realistic information. Based on team and trade partner feedback, we identify potential challenges and create proactive solutions based on clearly understanding critical path items and dependencies within the scheduled work activities.

EXPERIENCE & STRATEGIES WITH CARBON REDUCTION
Below are some capabilities, experience, and strategies for reporting and reducing embodied carbon:
1. PROPER SCHEDULING :
A well-planned construction schedule ensures that resources like materials, equipment, and labor are used efficiently.
2. EFFICIENT RESOURCE ALLOCATION:
Prevents overordering of materials and minimizes waste, reducing the carbon emissions associated with material production, transportation, and disposal.
3. IMPLEMENT PULL PLANNING:
Use pull planning techniques to schedule work based on the project progress and customer demand to ensure work is completed when needed (reducing waiting times and delays).
4. MINIMIZED ONSITE DELAYS:
Effective scheduling helps avoid delays in the construction process, which can lead to extended periods of equipment operation and energy consumption. Completing tasks on time reduces the need for additional energy and resources, resulting in lower carbon emissions.
5. JUST-IN-TIME DELIVERY:
Proper scheduling allows for just-in-time delivery of materials, meaning that materials are delivered to the construction site precisely when they are needed. This reduces the need for onsite material storage, which can lead to material deterioration and additional transportation-related emissions.
6. REDUCED IDLE TIME FOR MACHINERY:
With proper scheduling, construction machinery and equipment can be allocated specific timeframes for operation, reducing idle time and unnecessary fuel consumption, thereby cutting carbon emissions.
7. SOLAR-POWERED TEMP FACILITIES / RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION
8. ENERGY MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT:
Track energy usage, optimize energy generation, and manage energy consumption effectively.
9. USING LED LIGHTS FOR CONSTRUCTION LIGHTING
10. SOLAR POWER GENERATOR TOOLS

Can be implemented in both the design and procurement phases to look at a project’s overall embodied carbon emissions, enabling the specification and procurement of the low-carbon options. It can be used to create the ROM of the project as well as the carbon footprint ROM.
Powered by Building Transparency, whose core mission is to provide the open access data and tools necessary to enable broad and swift action across the building industry in addressing embodied carbon’s role in climate change.
RETAIL FACILITY, ROCKWALL | RO PROPOSAL
MATERIAL PROCUREMENT
The below can reduce carbon through the following material procurement methods:
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
Guide the design process, opt for green building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method).
Use energy-efficient design principles, such as passive solar design and natural ventilation, to minimize the need for energy-intensive heating and cooling systems.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Choose eco-friendly and low-carbon materials that have a reduced environmental impact through their life cycle, from extraction to disposal (carbon and steel produce most embodied carbon emissions).
CARBONCURE
CarbonCure creates carbon removal technologies that introduce recycled CO2 into fresh concrete to reduce its carbon footprint. CO2 undergoes a chemical reaction when it transforms into a mineral, improving the concrete’s compressive strength, which then reduces the cement content in mix designs while maintaining strength requirements.
EXAMPLE: An average high-rise building built with CarbonCure would save ~1.5 million lbs of CO2 emissions.
REBAR ZERO
Electric arc furnace steel manufacturer.
Neutralizes the greenhouse gas emissions associated with production, fabrication, and delivery to the jobsite. Apply certification to product based on how it’s made.
TRANSPORTATION & INSTALLATION
If required, RO will work to optimize transportation routes and schedules to minimize fuel consumption and emissions during material delivery. We can also encourage using public transportation or shared vehicles for commuting to the construction site.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Implement a comprehensive waste management plan to reduce construction waste, promote recycling, and minimize landfill disposal.
Encourage the reuse of construction materials and pallets when possible.
CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES
Optimize construction schedules to minimize energy consumption and emissions. Use electrical or hybrid construction machinery and vehicles to reduce emissions on the construction site.
WATER CONSERVATION
Integrate water-efficient fixtures and systems to reduce water consumption during construction and building occupancy.
Collect rainwater for construction purposes or on-site irrigation.
