MS Project manage several calendars but the hours per day/week no

[MS Project dosn´t permit several schedul]

Project doesn´t permit modify the number of hours per day/week. It´s a
limitant to schedule a project where are several companies that work
diferents schedule.
Example in a project:
- The civil designs are developed daily from Monday to Friday 8 hours per day.
- The civil construction is developed daily 9 hours per day.
Thanks

Project allows you to assign different calendars at the task and resource
levels.
Tools/Change Working Time....

Create a new calandar and then assign that callendar to tasks as appropriate

 

[Steve House]

The 'hours per day' and 'hours per week' numbers on the Calendar Options
page are conversion factors serving only to allow you to enter durations in
your preferred convenient units and they don't affect calculations or
calendars in any way. Durations are ALWAYS stored and tracked in minutes
(actually 1/10 minute 'ticks') and whenever you enter a duration of X days
it is converted to minutes based on X * 'hours per day' setting * 60 minutes
per hour. So if the word 'day' means some different number of hours to a
contractor or to a particular department than it does to the rest of your
company, simply do the conversion in your head rather than having Project do
it for you and enter the required hours in the duration column.
