Construction Project Management: Managing Time

Did you know the schedule plays a central role in construction project management? Developing an initial schedule is a powerful tool that you can use in managing various aspects of a project, including time, resources, production, and cost. This interactive online course concentrates on using the schedule to manage the time required to execute the construction processes. It begins by considering the project as a whole, determining how to shorten the overall project schedule, and looking at the cost trade‐offs of expediting the project. It then focuses on current or upcoming parts of the project with the objective of managing the project components more effectively.
