4D SIMULATION IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The trend of new technologies in the construction industry has now revolved beyond mere scheduling and planning tools. With more quest for certainty, cost-effectiveness, and timeliness, there are innovations that aid onsite and off-site delivery; amidst such innovations is 4D Simulation. Wondering what visual scheduling looks like in managing a construction project? That's exactly one of the core values of 4D simulations. Its basic principle is integrating a 3D building model into the project schedule. While giving visual representation/project sequences to project stakeholders, the 4D Simulation is an efficient tool that aids in effectively optimizing and comprehending the construction process.

SETTING UP PROJECT BUDGET COST IN MS PROJECT
The concept of project management and its control has a wide range of terms and conditions when applied to project delivery. The scope consists of time, quality, and budget and is well known for its interoperability and dependency. Budget costing amidst this scope is important to consider if effective time and quality are to be achieved on a project. Project management bodies such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the Association of Project Management (APM) have advocated for effective budget costing. In its guide, PMI showcases the process through which a cost management strategy determines budget updates for an [...]
INTRODUCTION TO PRIMAVERA P6 RELATIONSHIPS
To develop the project schedule, the project manager or the scheduler starts introducing project-specific data, such as activities, milestones, and activity durations, into the scheduling tool, Primavera P6 in this case, describing : The work to be done (What) The required resources to do the work (Who & What) Activity sequence, activity starts, finishes (When), and The optimum way or the defined sequence to do the work (How) WHAT IS AN ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP? A relationship in Primavera P6 is the logical connection between project activities and milestones. After defining project activities, the project manager or the scheduler studies the activity [...]
Primavera P6 Duration Types
Primavera P6 is a software solution created to manage projects from conception to closure. It covers the project cycle along with project control, CPM methodologies, resource management, risk management, and cost management. When the knowledge areas are applied at the same time in the schedule, the interaction between time and resources/cost is handled in P6 through different configurations and different procedures, and methodologies that might vary depending on the use case for different projects or industries. One important configuration is the Duration Type. The duration type is a configuration related to the activities in the schedule. Each activity can have [...]
DURATION TYPES IN PRIMAVERA P6 SCHEDULING
Types of Duration is an important feature of the Primavera P6 scheduling that can alter the setting of the schedule once an additional resource is introduced in an activity of a project. The duration Type feature of P6 aids in the management of activity resources assignments. The following terms can help to comprehend Duration Type in P6: Duration: Total number of days an activity would take before reaching completion. Units/Time: This is associated with efforts given to a resource of activity in a day in terms of hours. Work/Units: It is a total effort in terms of hours required by [...]
