CONSTRUCTION PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT OF A (G+2) RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Abstract

Construction management plays a vital role in any large-scale building activity all over the
world. There is need of many alternative building materials since the conventional materials are supplied
and also cause degradation of the environment. In this work, we have done construction management in
residential framed structure using project planning and management software primavera. Proper planning
and scheduling is very important in construction projects to reduce and control delays in the project.
Substantial amounts of time, money, resources are wasted every year in construction industry due to
improper planning and scheduling. The planning process for a building construction with some alternative
schemes such as execution schedule, activities relationship, resource allocation etc. has been attempted to
examine the consequence of overall implementation scope and time to the project. Detailed Estimation has
been done to determine the material, man power, money required for the completion of this residential
building. In this project, Primavera software helps in planning, scheduling, resource allocation and time
management to ensure timely completion of project within estimated budget when compared to
conventional methods of management of projects.
