Synopsis
This text adopts a methodical approach to the process of planning
and control exercised by the contractor during the pre-tender,
pre-contract and construction phases of projects through the
application of various planning techniques to a number of case
studies in both building and civil engineering. To develop a
fundamental understanding of the factors which influence the
successful management of time on projects, the book explores the
implications of new forces that are changing the way the
construction industry operates, including the "Latham"
culture and new health and safety legislation, such as the
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. A number of
planning applications are explained, including linked bar charts,
networks and precedence diagrams, together with techniques used
for repetitive projects, such as line of balance and time-chainage
diagrams. The text also incorporates examples of budgetary control
and cost-value reconciliation procedures.
