Planning and scheduling is a primary technical skill all successful construction supervisors and project managers need to effectively engage and utilize their teams, resources, and manage the job.
Students will learn how to plan, prepare and update construction project schedules in this project management construction online course. We will study construction planning and will practice preparing a project plan.
Through the use of case studies, we will show you how to define construction activities, determine activity duration, and assemble the activities into a logical construction schedule. Also, we will learn to create and use bar charts and critical path schedules.
Methods for communication of the project plan will be applied in workshop-type activities. We will study the use of software in construction scheduling and investigate some of the popular scheduling programs currently in use. Other topics to be studied will include: assigning constraints, inputting resources, formatting options, sorting and filtering. Updating the schedule and the use of short interval production schedules will be stressed. Applying scheduling information to change orders, payment schedules and acceleration situations will be studied.
