Construction Planning And Scheduling

Course Description (Construction Planning and Scheduling):

Construction Planning and Scheduling is a fundamental course that focuses on the systematic organization and timely execution of construction projects. It introduces students to the essential principles of project planning, work breakdown structures, and sequencing of activities required for efficient project delivery. The course covers widely used scheduling techniques such as Bar Charts, Critical Path Method (CPM), and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), enabling learners to estimate project duration and identify critical activities.

Students will gain practical knowledge in resource planning, including the allocation and optimization of labor, materials, and equipment to achieve cost-effective project execution. Emphasis is also placed on monitoring and controlling project progress through schedule updating, performance tracking, and the implementation of corrective measures when delays occur.

The course further highlights the importance of coordination among various stakeholders, risk management, and the use of modern project management tools and software in construction. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the skills required to prepare, analyze, and manage construction schedules effectively, ensuring projects are completed within the specified time and resource constraints. Thus the learners are able to know about the scheduling tecniques and how to manage risks by not avoiding any delays from the planning.
