Abstract | The progress characteristic curves of different activities in building construction are derived from the actual progress achieved in completed projects. used to analyse the For every activity, linear regression data. A mathematical expression which analysis is models the progress characteristic of each activity is obtained. These curves can be used as a guide for preliminary planning, monitoring and control of the progress of building projects. The planner can use this model for estimating the progress needed to meet a planned duration and in adjusting the activity duration while data on the actual progress are collected. The progress characteristics are incorporated into the bar chart. A bar chart model is presented which can be used as a guide for preliminary scheduling, cash flow analysis and allocation of resources. The progress characteristics for the project cash flow are also analysed, resulting in three model curves. These, then can be used as a guide to clients and interested parties for estimating the cash flow requirements. |
