MODULE EXERCISES CONSTRUCTION 2 Ans Key

This document contains a module of exercises on construction topics. There are 14 multiple choice questions related to construction networks, PERT analysis, concrete mixture calculations, critical path analysis, and cost/time tradeoffs for accelerated construction schedules. The questions assess understanding of key construction planning and management concepts like float, expected duration, variance, mixture proportions, critical paths, and cost-effective acceleration strategies. Contact information is provided for the author in Manila and Cebu, Philippines.
