What Are Provisional Sum Items in Construction Projects? In the construction industry, projects are often complex, involving numerous variables, some of which may not be fully defined at the beginning of the project. To accommodate such uncertainties, contractors and clients use certain financial tools to ensure projects stay on track without unnecessary delays. One such… Continue reading Provisional sum items in construction project.

What is prime cost items in construction project.
What is Prime Cost in Construction Projects? In the realm of construction, a project’s budget is one of its most vital aspects. A well-structured budget not only ensures the completion of the project within its financial constraints but also allows for the efficient allocation of resources. Among the various financial concepts in construction, “Prime Cost… Continue reading What is prime cost items in construction project.
Generate S Curve from Primavera P6.
An S-curve is a graphical representation of cumulative progress over time in a construction project. It is typically used to show the progress of key metrics like cost, resource usage, or physical progress in terms of percentage completion. In Primavera P6, you can generate an S-curve using physical weightage distribution by following a systematic process.… Continue reading Generate S Curve from Primavera P6.
Physical Weightage Percent Distribution in a Construction Project.
Introduction In construction projects, physical weightage percent distribution refers to the assignment of weightage or importance to various activities or components of the project based on their relative value or contribution to the total project. This weightage helps in tracking progress and determining the earned value of the project by measuring the completion of different… Continue reading Physical Weightage Percent Distribution in a Construction Project.
Difference between quality assurance and quality control in construction project.
In construction projects, quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) are two critical processes used to ensure that the project meets its quality standards and specifications. Though closely related, QA and QC serve different purposes and are applied at different stages of a construction project. Key Differences Between Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)… Continue reading Difference between quality assurance and quality control in construction project.
Commonly used basic terms and definitions in Project Planning.
1. Key Definitions Activity: An element of work performed during the course of a project. (Normally has duration, cost, and resource requirements.) Baseline: The original plan plus or minus approved changes. Arrow Diagram Method (ADM): A network diagramming technique in which activities are represented by arrows. The tail of the arrow represents the start and… Continue reading Commonly used basic terms and definitions in Project Planning.
Impacted Programme Definition and Purpose.
Definition of an Impacted Programme An Impacted Programme is a modified version of the original project schedule that incorporates the effects of identified delays, disruptions, or changes. It reflects how the project timeline has been affected by various impacts and is used to assess the extent of delays and their effects on the overall project… Continue reading Impacted Programme Definition and Purpose.
