The IGNITEX concept proposed by Profs. Rosenbluth, Weldon and Woodson along the lines of Prof. Coppi's idea for a compact thermonuclear experiment has the potential to produce and control ignited plasmas with relative simplicity and low cost. This paper discusses the design and construction methodologies that will be adopted for the construction of some of the key components of the facility for the fusion ignition experiment IGNITEX. A master schedule in the form of a bar chart derived from a CPM network developed for the IGNITEX project is presented. The level of detail in this paper is consistent with the degree of development of the IGNITEX design to date.
