Construction planning and integrated time-cost control of construction projects are discussed. Various scheduling techniques, such as the critical path method (CPM), the program evaluation and review technique (PERT), are covered. Manpower loading and costs’ correlation to the schedule, and control and accurate project progress reporting are covered. Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools and Project Scheduling software tools (e.g., Microsoft Project 2010) are extensively used in the course project. Hands-on experiences of using BIM tools for construction planning and scheduling, as well as project progress and performance evaluation is required.
