Abstract
To study and carry out a Project Planning & Management Methodology and apply to a specific Civil Construction project, a School Building complex. The Construction Project shall employ the latest and the best available Project Planning and Management package (eg. Primavera Project Management, one of the most sought after software package employed by a large group of Industries, world over).
The Project Planning and Management aims to ensure that Project deliverables (as per the Scope definition) are completed and delivered in time, within the stipulated (Budgeted) cost, and meets the stakeholders requirements and expectations. It also adopts methods, control processes in monitoring and implementation to reduce as best as possible any chances of failure at some stage or another. For the present study, the Planning Process for a Building Construction with some alternative schemes such as execution schedule, activities (tasks) relationships, resource allocation etc has been attempted to examine the consequence of overall implementation in terms of Scope, Time and Cost to the project. The Project Planning & management package offers window of opportunities to plan various alternatives and examine pro and cons of the project.
