| Abstract | Construction contracts require the performance of work having a definite starting and completing point. They involve important commitments of four resources. They are men, material, machine, and money, which can be accomplished by numberous combinations of methods , sequencing, and resource availabilities; and are obtained under competitive conditions that required sound decisions for profitable results. Under such conditions, project planning, scheduling and control are of major importance . In practice, a construction project is so complex that the work items and various relationships between the work items should be recorded and be able to be presented or conveyed to other parties involved . Therefore, some type of 'paper model' of t he project is usually developed in the formulation of a planning or scheduling, to communicate results of the planning and scheduling to others, and to serve as a basis for evaluating progress and controlling the work. A model, known as 'Lead-Lag Precedence Technique ', which found to be particularly useful for overlapping activities is introduced. The technique simplifies the network diagramming consider ably and it allows an activity to be divided into sever a l sub-activities according to the need of the real life. The technique proves to be a better, more comprehend and more realistic simulation to the complex projects in our modern world . |
