How to Improve Progress Tracking in Construction Projects
Project Managers must keep track of their construction projects to finish them on time. A successful project finishes on time and within the allocated budget. The project management team needs extra effort to complete a project successfully. Let's discuss various techniques that can be helpful for project managers to improve progress tracking in construction projects. Boost your efficiency with a construction project scheduler from Leopard Projects Control. Optimize your progress tracking today. 1. Use Technology The best method for efficient project tracking is to use software for tracking progress. Some popular software includes Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, and Smartsheet. A [...]
Tips for Keeping Construction Projects on Schedule
One of the most critical concerns for any Project Manager is the timely delivery of the project. The clients always prefer the construction project to be delivered as quickly as possible. The revenue will be generated from the project after it is handed over to the client. The delay in construction projects often results in heavy penalties. A successful project means that the project has accomplished its technical performance, maintained its schedule, and remained within budgetary costs. In this article, we would like to enlighten you with some tips that might help you keep your construction project on schedule [...]
CPM Scheduling in Construction
The Critical Path Method (CPM) is the most commonly used technique for construction scheduling. The critical path refers to the longest stretch of the activities. The duration of the critical path method represents the time required to complete a construction project. The critical path method helps to decide the following things: The duration to complete an activity The dependencies between the activities The tasks required to complete the project Why is CPM scheduling important? The use of CPM scheduling is essential in construction projects. CPM schedules will help you identify the activities required to complete the project. It will [...]
Benefits of Using Scan-to-BIM in Construction
The construction industry has started to benefit from technology to improve the construction process. One of the methods is to use scanners to convert the physical space to a digital model called BIM that contains all the information related to that facility. If you are unfamiliar with the term BIM, it is defined by the National BIM Standard Project Committee as: “Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics of a facility. A BIM is a shared knowledge resource for information about a facility forming a reliable basis for decisions during its life-cycle.” What is [...]
Reducing Construction Costs through Integrated Project Delivery in Construction
The construction market is very demanding and the project delivery methods have evolved from the traditional ones to risk-sharing forms, such as IPD (Integrated Project Delivery). In a traditional construction method, each party tries to avoid the risk and transfer it to the other party. It results in losses in the form of project delays and extra costs. Let’s consider a construction project where the designer has proposed helical piers for the foundation construction of a multistory apartment. Later on, when the contractor is involved, he determines that some of the cost of helical piers could be saved if rammed [...]
Primavera P6 Constraint Types
During the construction process, many real-life issues control an activity's start or completion date. These issues are dealt with by the constraint feature of Primavera P6. Constraints are applied to the activities when relationships do not provide the required results and are often a result of external dependencies. Objectives The main objective of applying constraints is to observe real-world aspects of the project more precisely. Duration restrictions are used to observe project requirements that can't be drafted into network logic. Constraints are recommended to apply after scheduling the whole project because they can override the logic and must be [...]
