Abstract
This research is focused on a model development of a segmented construction schedule that would be accessible at any time in any place in the world. Although a construction schedule directs the flow of construction by means of closely monitoring predicted activity, there is a knowledge gap to date as to how individual segments of scheduling information can be provided in an Construction Schedule Executive Summary through web-based technology and model development to any interested party. An Owner/Contractor would be concerned about the status of their project(s) at any point and at any time. The work herein addresses this gap through model development that can go inside of a web-based cost/resource loaded construction schedule and extract components (segments) that will be for the use of the Owner/Contractor. This is contingent upon the Project Superintendent and/or the Project Manager updating the progress at the end of the work day. The model will provide summary tasks to include; the activity, the cost of the activity, the resource, cost to a point of an activity, float, and whether an activity is on time, behind or ahead of schedule for the benefit of the Owner. A case study is presented to validate the model development that will be used to advance the current state-of-the-practice in construction scheduling and management.
