Description
 
Construction Planning and Scheduling, 3rd Edition, is a straightforward text presenting a comprehensive introduction to the techniques of construction scheduling as well as broad coverage of all major scheduling subjects.

Key features of the new edition include:
  • A detailed discussion of contract provisions and their relationship to construction scheduling.
  • Discussions of the effects of management decisions intended to benefit production on a construction schedule.
  • An extensive treatise on short-interval scheduling, also called "look ahead" schedules, a subject considered vital to project success.
  • An easy-to-understand explanation of the concept of linear scheduling.
Offering broad coverage of all major scheduling subjects, this book is a comprehensive resource designed for construction management, planning and scheduling. It follows a logical progression, introducing precedence diagramming early and following with chapters on activity durations, resource allocations, network schedules and more. It reflects current trends in scheduling (short-interval scheduling, computer scheduling, linear scheduling etc.) and includes chapters on arrow diagramming and PERT. With an eye on application, it includes a unique discussion of contract provisions related to scheduling and incorporates a sample project throughout.
