• There are many technology tools and platforms
  that you can use to streamline construction projec
  t scheduling.
• These tools eliminate the need to develop new
  workflows from scratch.

top 5 construction scheduling methods for projects

• Critical Path Method (CPM)
•  Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)
• Line of Balance (LOB)
• Q Scheduling
• Resource-Oriented Scheduling

Critical Path Method (CPM)

• The most commonly used construction scheduling
  method in large construction projects is the
  Critical Path Method.
• The method focuses on the principle that the
  completion of certain activities depends on a few
  critical resources or constraints.
• Project managers use CPM to create a graphical
  view of the project and calculate the amount of
  time and resources needed for completing each of
  the activities.
• Moreover, it outlines critical activities that
  must be given the utmost priority to complete the
  project on time.

 Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT)

• The most visually accessible construction
  scheduling method is PERT.
• The diagram creates a visual depiction of the
  essential project activities and the order in
  which an organization needs to complete them.
  Every step outlines the use of resources or time
  or both.

Line of Balance (LOB)

• Line of Balance is a management control process
  focusing on repetitive iterations. It helps in
  marking where projects lose their way.
• Moreover, it assists in identifying the areas
  where deviations occur, along with the secondary
  effects that grow or accumulate from them.

 Q Scheduling

• This is a quantitative scheduling method. It
  utilizes bar charts to define quantities of
  materials needed at different locations and
  different stages during the project.
• Furthermore, it encompasses a hierarchical
  component, through which managers and workers can
  find the materials they require at the different
  stages, place orders appropriately, complete
  tasks in sequence, and prevent interference in
  others tasks.

8
Resource-Oriented Scheduling

• The focus of this construction scheduling method
  is the projects resources and their efficient
  utilization. Fewer resources increase the chances
  of delays as many teams are eyeing the available
  resources.
• In the absence of a smart approach deciding which
  team receives the resources and when a
  construction company can feel confused and
  indecisive about their ability to assign
  priority.
