Cost & Resource Loading in Primavera P6 | Complete Step-by-Step Tutorial
A baseline without resources isn't a real plan. It's just a set of dates with no idea of the labor, materials, or cost behind them.
That's why it is recommended to calculate your cost and resource needs.
By calculating total mandays and man-hours per activity in Excel, then loading them as resources and cost in Primavera P6, you can turn activity requirements into a fully resourced, cost-loaded baseline.
👉 Treat resource loading as an essential part of planning, not an afterthought.
It saves time, gives you a realistic baseline, and turns your schedule into a true project control tool.
