Resource modeling in Project 2007

[kevinarthur_99]

I have been working with project over the summer and I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. In my field you often have mason, carpenter etc working by the amount of work they complete and not by the hours they work. For example a carpenter may have a wooden wall to erect and he will be paid per foot squared (ft²) of wall he erected or a mason would be paid per foot cubed (ft³) of concrete placed. Usually I treat the carpenter or mason as a material resources and this works well and allows me to map these task against the resources and its cost. But I think this is not the only way to map these resources. Are there any other ways to map these resources and task. I appreciated all your help. Thanks!

You can use Microsoft Office Project 2007 to create a model of your project. This model reflects the reality of your project. You enter your tasks, resources, assignments, and other project-related information into Project 2007. You can then organize and manage the copious and very detailed bits of project information that otherwise can be quite overwhelming. For more information check here.
