DRS (Design release schedule)

The project's design release schedule laid out like the design team's workbook: a Package Summary, one sheet per package and an All sheet, with the sheet tabs along the bottom. Every cell is worked out for you from the Aconex document register, the programme and the subcontractors' uploads — nothing is typed here.

You enter

Nothing on this page. The schedule is fed by the connections — the Aconex register export, the DRS workbook on SharePoint and the subcontractors' Smartsheet uploads — read every night, or now with Refresh.

Saral fills in

Each drawing's previous and current revision, its overall status (A / B / C, QA Accepted, Pending, Rejected, Not issued) and the dates it was issued, was due back and came back.
The client's current delay: the days past the review due date, until the status came back.
The planned next issue for a drawing returned B, C or rejected, and the design freeze from the programme task — with the days approval comes back after it.
The lead-time chain: call off from the design freeze plus mobilisation, start on site after manufacturing.
When the subcontractor last uploaded the drawing, what it was issued for and its revision, once Smartsheet is connected.
The Package Summary's counts per package — A, B, C, QA and pending, rejected, not issued, issued, listed, late reviews and design-freeze risks.

It produces

The schedule as an Excel workbook in the house layout, with live formulas — brought up to date first by Update & download.
One subcontractor's drawing register, per house, from the More menu.

What this page is for

The design manager's release schedule, without the copying. The workbook the team keeps by hand is rebuilt here from the systems the information already lives in, so the statuses, delays and freeze dates are always as at today.

Nothing is typed here

The page only reads. If a figure is wrong, it is wrong at its source — the Aconex register, the programme or the subcontractor's upload — and is corrected there. A project with no connected source shows a set-up note, never a sheet of zeros.

Where next

The design register, transmittals and RFIs are on Site & design; connections are set on the connections page; the programme's dates are on Programme.
