I’m running a big project and I need to find a way to organize my tasks and progress.
It’s hard to keep my head wrapped around all the aspects of this particular job.
I have good apprentices, but not anyone I can really give too much responsibility to. So I’ve been drawing out little segments of the job for them to work on. Like literally drawing each pipe in the rack, where it goes, where it needs j boxes, etc.
I have notebooks with lists of things for each print. One for lighting, one for power, data, fire, security, speakers, different floors, etc.
I keep track of what I need to do and then cross it off when it’s done.
I have tons of prints with my artwork all over them as I try to keep track of racks and home runs and general progress.
I’m sure there is a more efficient, easier way to plan things out and keep track of them.
Is there some software that I should be using?
I’ve been running work for about 8 years. My old school notebook method works fine on smaller jobs, but it doesn’t cut it on the bigger, more complex projects.
Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!
