    The document discusses construction planning and management. It explains that planning involves understanding what needs to be built, establishing the construction method, determining required plant, equipment and labor. A critical path shows the longest sequence of activities to project completion. Deviations from the critical path can delay completion. Effective construction management through monitoring the program, subcontractors, equipment, materials, finances and schedule helps ensure a project is completed on time, on budget and to the required quality.

    CRITICAL PATH:
    • Project’s duration is calculated through the accumulative
    activities’ duration
    • Non-critical path activities have “float” meaning that it can start
    at a certain date and be finished before or on the time frame
    planned
    • If a non-critical path activity is delayed, it will not necessarily
    have an influence on the project duration if it is finished before
    the planned date
    • Should all the float within the non-critical path activity be used
    however and is then delayed, it will have an effect on the
    project duration and now becomes a critical path activity
    Programme provides management with:
    1. An analysis of the most efficient
    sequence of operations
    2. The means by which progress can be
    recorded against the projected
    3. With a tool to highlight areas which
    need attention in the long and short
    term
    4. With a method of communication to
    subordinates in the field – sub-
    contractors/suppliers/specialists etc.
