Planning & Scheduling of Residential Building Using MS Project

This document discusses planning and scheduling of residential building projects using Microsoft Project software. It begins with an introduction to project management and an overview of Microsoft Project. The objectives are then outlined as studying scheduling techniques using critical path models, reducing total project duration compared to traditional methods, easing labor work, and reducing costs through proper resource allocation. Scheduling is identified as an important function to determine activity sequences and manage quality. Microsoft Project can assist with developing plans, assigning resources, tracking progress, managing budgets, and analyzing workloads. Overall, the document examines implementing Microsoft Project for planning, scheduling, monitoring and controlling construction projects.

Abstract: Every one of us is a manager of projects of our own life. From a house wife to an employee to money expert, from banker
to doctor, from engineer to manager from a teacher to a student, we all work on different tasks with deadlines. (without any concern
about / having nothing to do with ) our occupation, normal behaviors , or location in an organization, we all work on tasks that are
mixed and involve people who do not usually work together. The project may have a simple goals that does not require many people or
a great deal of money or it may be quite complex, calling for (many different kind of people or thing) skills and huge amount of useful
thing’s/valuable supplies. But the bottom line is that every one of us manages projects. Because of this the purpose of dealing with the
project should not be only execution but effective and (producing a lot of waste ) execution of project is extremely important. Which is
needed to be highlighted? Construction Firms in India, Construct the Projects in a Traditional ways, this sometimes proves Expensive
& tiring & Boring too. Traditional way also proves to be Time Using/ Eating/ Drinking, and Confusing. The presented work will
provide them an Opportunity to clearly watch/ notice/ celebrate/ obey the difference between the Microsoft Project (MSP) and the
Traditional Planning ways of doing thing. which speeds up Construction and also make the Project Cost Effective with Proper
Planning with the help of the case study on the single wing of project executed in Pune, Maharashtra, India. For finding out different
aspects that proves (producing a very little waste) planning & execution of the project, very different ways of doing things ) adopted
and to find out (education that fix something) measures, international journal papers were referred. Ways of doing thing. adopted
includes defining of problem statement, hinting about something bad the goals from the data collected in two part that is first ( or most
important ) data and Secondary , carefully studying the data and finally coming to the end/end result.

Nowadays, almost every construction industry in India is
experiencing delay problem. The problem occurs from
various reasons; the extensive sources are caused by the
construction activity which has been executed not according
to planning and scheduling efficiently decided before actual
execution of the project. Apparently, contractor will require
time extension to accomplish the project.

Following are the three base calendars that are defined

timing followed is 9 am to 6 pm. According to this
calendar, lunch timing will be from 12 noon to 1 pm.
This is the default base calendar used for the project, for
