Optimization of Time and Cost of a Residential Building (G+24) Using Primavera P6

Abstract

Resource management or the practice of planning, scheduling, and assigning people, money, and technology to a project is very important. In this current world, construction projects are massive and come with lots of complications. Thus, general schedule control techniques are useful in optimizing resource scheduling and project duration. Primavera P6 is one such software that is used for planning, managing, and executing project work. It is designed to handle large and small projects in several diverse industries such as construction, manufacturing, energy, and IT. Compared to conventional methods, this tool has been highly effective for project managers. Practically, work delays occur due to various uncertainties. Hence by software techniques, one can apply resource dependencies, reschedule the project, and fast-tracking critical activities which delay the duration. The main aim of the study is to optimize the time and cost of a residential building through planning and scheduling, allocation of needed resources, budgeting and tracking by using the Primavera P6 tool. In conclusion, it is important to realize that through crashing and resource leveling the time and cost will be optimized and hence in this paper there will be changes to the schedule between the expected and optimized progress. Based on that, the schedule needs to be changed to complete the paper.
