1. Planning and Scheduling in Construction Management Overview of Project Formulation, Schedule Management, and Cost Optimization

2. Construction Project Formulation - Construction management: Planning, coordinating, and controlling a project from conception to completion. - Scope Management: Defining scope and controlling changes to it. - Types of Project Planning: Strategic, Tactical, and Operational. - Statutory & Regulatory Requirements: - Layout and building plan approvals - Contracts, Fire & Safety, Quality, Environmental standards - Commencement certificate, legal policies.

3. Schedule Management - Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - Bar Charts: Gantt charts for project timeline visualization. - Sequencing and Dependency: Establishing task order and relationships. - Network Diagrams: Visual representation of project activities and flows. - Activity Duration Estimation: Calculating time required for tasks. - Critical Path Method (CPM): Identifying the longest path to ensure timely project completion. - PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique): Estimating project duration considering uncertainties.

4. Cost Management in Scheduling - Creating Schedules: Breaking down tasks and assigning timelines. - Resource Assignment: Allocating labor, materials, and machinery to tasks. - Cost Estimation: Calculating direct and indirect costs. - Cost Tracking: Monitoring expenditures against budget. - Optimization: Balancing time, cost, and resources to avoid delays and overruns. - Case Studies: Real-life examples of successful cost and schedule management.
