Construction Project Planning and Scheduling
This text thoroughly covers the topic of the need and use of project planning and scheduling in the construction industry. It approaches the subject—and its related terminology and techniques—from a conceptual viewpoint that reinforces students' learning with increasingly difficult levels of analytical problems. The book includes development of work breakdown structures, precedence grids, precedence network node diagrams, analytical methods for network solutions, resource scheduling, leveling and allocation, time-cost tradeoffs, and project-scheduling simulation with PERT application.
