I would suggest you look into a Computer Maintenance Management System (CMMS). There are several vendors offering this type of software. We use a system called TMA which is tailored to Univeristy Maintenance but does many of the things you are looking for a software to do.
A work request is...
In P3 you can assign each activity a seperate calendar. You can have several calendars for many different senarios like shift work etc.
It appears that during the conversion all of your activities were assigned to a calendar that is in hours. You will need to either change that calendar to...
Ditto on what Ingy said.
I would like to add to his comments. Once you have the logic the way you want it you can use Activity Codes to sort/group your activities.
Question of the day. I would assume you will get many different opinions.
I personally prefer P3 only because I have the most experience with P3. I have not used MS Project in about 7-years so I guess it would not be fair to give you old information.
Excellent advice. You will run into disagreements. Just remember they are not personal. Everyone is trying to do their job.
Again excellent advice. The only wrong decision is no decision.
The one piece of advice I can add is that any good Superintendent will test you. Just hold your own...
The owner does end up with some loss. Only half of the HVAC was bid competitively. If the other half is paid for by change order then the owner ends up paying more.

I have been on several temporary asignments and in my experience there are several things that always hold true.
1. The assignment always seems to be for longer than they tell you.
2. If you didn't negotiate it before you went than there is no way you will be able to negotiate it after you...
I would look at each company and see what they have to offer in the future after this project. With the Contractor you will most likely be traveling from project to project and depending on the size of the company that can range from state to state.
I worked for 12 years for a very large...
I would include the reasons you are leaving in your letter. You want to document that you are leaving to finish your education and that you feel that it is not feasable for you to work full time and go to school which is the reason for your departure. Explain that you have set this goal for...
Why not just talk to the person. I would sit down with the person and talk about the issue that created the problem and try to understand what they are so upset about. Also, during the conversation try and see if you can get them to see your side. If your both reasonable about it than in most...
