by Jimmie Hinze (Author)

Construction planning and scheduling, Fourth Edition offers broad coverage of all major scheduling subjects.

This comprehensive resource is designed for construction management, planning and scheduling.

Construction planning and scheduling follows a logical progression, introducing precedence diagramming early and following with chapters on activity durations, resource allocations, network schedules, and more.

It reflects current trends in scheduling (short-interval scheduling, computer scheduling, linear scheduling etc.) and includes chapters on arrow diagramming and PERT.

With an eye on application, it includes a unique discussion of contract provisions related to scheduling and incorporates a sample project throughout.

Many textbooks have been published on construction scheduling. Many provide excellent information on a variety of scheduling subjects.

Unfortunately, they are often limited in their scope, often omitting scheduling subjects that might be of particular interest to the reader.

Construction planning and scheduling is written to provide broad coverage on all major scheduling subjects.

There are many approaches to providing scheduling information. Some of these are described briefly in Chapter 1.

Construction planning and scheduling is written with a major emphasis on precedence diagramming, with only the last chapter addressing arrow diagramming.

Chapter 3 explains the fundamentals of precedence diagrams. Regardless of the scheduling technique used, successfully using scheduling information begins with accurate time estimates for activity durations, as discussed in Chapter 4.
