Scheduling
is
graphical
representation which shows the phasing rate of

construction activities with the starting
and
completion dates and the sequential relationship

among the various activities or operations in a project
so that that the work can be carried out in an orderly
and effective manner.
Preparation of Construction schedules

Project is divided into number of operations sequences of operations and their relationship
The quantity of work involved in each operation has
to be calculated.
Time required for completion of the project and
different activities are to be calculated quantity of
work and rate of performing each work.
Uses of scheduling
It gives the quantity of work involved, labour,
materials and equipment for each stage of work.
The actual progress of the work can be checked.
The project can be carried out in an systematic
manner using scheduling.
Advantages of scheduling
It gives clear idea about the required men, materials
and equipment at different stages of work.
Starting time of each work is known, proper
arrangements and requirements can be done prior to
the starting of the work.
Resource utilisation is optimised.
Actual progress is monitored with actual plan.
Advantages of scheduling
Inter-relationship of various activities at different
stages are known.
Total duration of the complete project is known.
Classification of scheduling
