The main purpose of resources allocation is to rearrange the activities of network in such a manner that the project can be completed with available resources, with minimum increase in cost and without delaying the completion period.
RESOURCE SMOOTHING Done – shifting of activities by their available floats, so that a uniform demand for the resources are generated.
Project Time – not change in any case
This document defines different types of construction contracts and summarizes their key aspects. It discusses lump sum, unit price, cost plus, and other contract types. For each type it provides an overview of how payment is determined, as well as advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of owners and contractors. The goal of different contract types is to appropriately allocate risk between owners and contractors for a given project scope, schedule and budget.
Types of Contract in Construction ManagementShahin MB
This document describes several types of construction contracts: lump-sum, cost plus fixed fee, cost plus bid fee, guaranteed maximum, negotiated, unit-price, design-build, and turn-key. Lump-sum contracts establish a fixed total price upfront, while cost plus contracts reimburse the contractor's costs plus a fixed or percentage-based fee. Guaranteed maximum contracts set a ceiling on costs. Negotiated, unit-price, design-build, and turn-key contracts vary in responsibilities and payment structures.
The document discusses the concepts of estimating, costing, technical sanction, administrative approval and budgetary provision as they relate to construction projects. It defines estimating as working out the approximate cost of a work by calculating quantities and costs, while costing determines the actual cost using measurement and abstract sheets. Technical sanction involves formal acceptance of the proposal and preliminary plans by competent authorities, and administrative approval provides budgetary provision for projects according to the 5-year plan after review.
This document discusses the four types of resources (4Ms) required for construction projects - Money, Materials, Machinery, and Manpower. It provides details on each type of resource, including how money is managed, the different types of materials used, factors to consider when selecting machinery, and types of labor. Productivity standards for workers and establishing workers' production norms are also covered. The minimum wage laws and other relevant acts for the construction industry are outlined. Finally, common earthmoving equipment used for construction projects is classified and described.

The document discusses various types of construction contracts and tendering processes. It defines a tender as an invitation from an owner to contractors to execute work at a specified cost and time. There are different types of tenders including open, sealed, limited, and single tenders. Key aspects of the tendering process include tender forms, documents, notices, evaluation criteria, acceptance procedures, contract documents, deposits, and measurements. Different types of construction contracts are also summarized such as lump-sum, item rate, percentage rate, cost plus, and turn-key contracts.
A lump sum contract is a legal agreement where a contractor agrees to complete an entire project for a fixed, pre-agreed price. The key aspects are that the focus is on completing the whole project, not individual tasks, and the client knows the total cost upfront. The main advantages are minimal risk and costs for the client, and predictable cash flows and overhead costs. The main disadvantages are it is not suitable for complicated or changing projects, and the contractor faces high risk if costs are underestimated. It differs from a cost plus contract, where the client pays all costs plus fees, and from a unit price contract, which covers multiple lump sum contracts for a multi-stage project.

This document discusses project time management for construction projects. It covers defining and sequencing activities, estimating activity durations and resources, developing a schedule, and schedule control. Key aspects include identifying specific schedule activities and their dependencies; estimating time, resources, and durations for each activity; analyzing the activity sequences and constraints to create a project schedule; and controlling changes to the schedule. The goal is to ensure timely completion of the project through effective planning, scheduling, tracking, and control of the time management processes.
This presentation summarizes the Line of Balance (LOB) project scheduling technique. LOB was developed in the 1940s/50s for repetitive construction projects like highways, pipelines, and buildings. It uses a simple diagram to show the location and timing of work crews for each task. The key steps are: 1) creating a logic diagram of tasks, 2) estimating task durations, 3) selecting a buffer time, and 4) calculating targets to meet deadlines. LOB helps optimize resource usage and identifies potential issues. It provides clear visibility into work progress and allows easy schedule updating for repetitive projects.
This document discusses different types of well foundations used in construction. It describes three main types: open caissons, which have open tops and bottoms; pneumatic caissons, which use air pressure; and box caissons, which are closed at the bottom. It provides details on each type, including advantages and disadvantages. Open caissons can be built to greater depths but inspection of the bottom is not possible. Pneumatic caissons allow work under water but require complex machinery. Box caissons have a lower construction cost but the foundation base cannot be inspected.
Well foundations, also known as caissons, are deep foundations used to transfer structural loads through unstable soil layers to more competent soil or bedrock. They are constructed by sinking a watertight retaining structure (caisson) into the ground and then filling it with concrete. Key components include the cutting edge, well curb, bottom plug, steining, top plug, and well cap. Construction involves excavating inside the caisson while applying an air pressure differential to counter soil and groundwater pressures (pneumatic caisson). Workers are at risk of decompression sickness if pressure changes are not controlled slowly.

A Review on Thin-shell Structures: Advances and TrendsA Makwana
This paper provides a review of research advances and trends in the area of thin shell structures. The art of building thin-shell structures has been with us since ancient times. In practical civil engineering, the necessity of covering large column free open areas with shell surfaces is often an issue. Over the course of time, this shell form became very popular to engineers due to a number of advantages it offers, and started drawing the attention of a number of researchers. A thin shell is a term not in itself as readily understandable by the layman as the terms dome or vault would be. It is in a sense a word coined on the basis of its structural connotations, as exhibited in the artifacts it creates. There are many interesting aspects of the use of shells in engineering, but one alone stands out as being of paramount importance: it is the structural aspect. At the beginning of this century, under the influence of the art movement and the dominance of industrialized building materials, any remnants of curvilinear architecture were mercilessly banished. Within that period avant-garde art emphatically proclaimed a total repudiation of the traditions and classical revivals that in architecture were symbolized mostly by arches and vaults. Ready-to-use rectilinear steel beams and columns and easy-to build rectilinear concrete forms struck a lethal blow to the curvilinear approach in architecture. Rectilinearity became synonymous with rationality, while curvilinearity came to symbolize decadence. Remember, for instance, the negative stigma given to the baroque for its assumed pomposity in glorifying curves. In practical terms such an attitude in design is clearly manifested in the present cityscapes that are totally free of arches, domes, shells, and any other form that is not rectilinear. With today‟s almost unlimited computer technology and the knowledge that can be gained from understanding the domes and vaults built both in the past and present, it is hoped that this research work on the review aspects of curvilinear forms will contribute to further exploration and encourage the application of thin shells by the engineers and architects to whom it is addressed. Masonry domes, concrete shells, and large steel contemporary domes are presented in historical terms as case studies and in conceptual terms from the architectural and structural point of view.
Soft Computing: Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Block using Chi-Square Test throu...A Makwana
This document summarizes a research study on the use of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks in construction projects in India.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE RISING IMPORTANCE OF MODULAR CONSTRUCTION ADOPTIO...A Makwana
In recent times, the trend of modular construction adoption is increasing very fast due to
availability of latest tools and technology, efficient technical manpower and skilled labour
why mainly focus of this area is taken into
consideration through management approach with the help of Relative Importance Index
technique. Modular construction is one type of construction in which modular units are
produced in factory and then delivered to site and assembled as large volumetric
components. The modular units can be produced in any form; it may be service units such as
toilets, lifts, parts of rooms and complete rooms. The existing modular construction approach
is based on survey in Rajkot city. For survey work, Questionnaires is designed and distribute
to Consultants and Contractors. After data collection, rank has been given to the selected

DEMOLITION OF BUILDINGS: INTEGRATED NOVEL APPROACHA Makwana
Every civil engineering structure is designed for a certain life period generally 100 years. After that the existence of a structure is very dangerous and unstable, which may cause a severe impact and be a cause of many deaths. So removal of such structures with proper safety measures has got great importance. Before any demolition of any type is employed in an area, it is vital that the rescue phase has ended completely. The rescue teams must have given clear information to the contractors that their rescue phase is finished in the selected area, since any demolition work carried out may reveal survivors. Such situations are highly sensitive and must be respected. A major disaster has an economic effect on the local region since the loss of buildings, lifelines and infrastructure results in a slump in the local economy. It is therefore important to boost the economy by employing as much local expertise and workforce as possible. This creates a unity in rehabilitation in the community and results in a more stable recovery. Due to this scenario, the demolition work should be carried out by a consortium, especially set up to do the work rather than commissioning the work to individual companies. This consortium must be set up in regions of high seismic risk to ensure rapid formation after a disaster. This will combat the eventual competitiveness of the large financial investors in the community which could result in a monopoly controlled by certain individuals. It would therefore be preferable to have a local demolition joint-venture to generate the needed local income after a disaster. There will, however, be a certain need for outside managerial and consultancy aid, especially in the developing countries, and this must be acknowledged and respected. The cooperation with the outside aid must be extensive and at a high level in conjunction with the local representatives so as to maintain as much of the local culture and style as possible. The outside consultants must be cautious when introducing major resources, such as machinery, into the post-disaster phases since this may be seen as taking work away from local resources.
ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT: NEED OF CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRYA Makwana
Termites popularly known as white ants cause considerable damage to wood works,
furnishing etc. of buildings. The Latin name Isoptera means "equal wing" and refers to the
fact that the front set of wings on a reproductive termite is similar in size and shape to the hind
set. Termites are social and can form large nests or colonies, consisting of very different
looking individuals (castes). There are more than 2,500 different types of termites in the world.
In some country the loss caused due to termites is estimated to be as high as 10% of the capital
outlay of the building. Anti-termite treatment is therefore necessary so that damages are either
reduced or stopped together. Through regular inspections, a termite specialist can help
identify common hot spots for activity and warning signs for a termite infestation, plus share
tips to help keep termites at bay. Termites can fit through cracks as thin as an average business
card (1/32 inch) so proper maintenance is crucial to seal up any gaps around the foundation
and roof/eaves. To identify the termite and its uniqueness, the life cycle of termite is necessary
to understand. Anti- termites are used to combat the problem. There are combinations of
methods depending on what sort of damage is done by the termites. The treatment has to be
implemented at the time of construction for effective and permanent solution.
INTELLIGENT BUILDING NEW ERA OF TODAYS WORLDA Makwana
A building that uses both technology and process to create a facility that is safe,
healthy and comfortable and enables productivity and well-being of its occupants. With lots
of energy crisis in today‟s world now it‟s important for architects, engineers and construction
managers to make buildings which are energy efficient and intelligent by its functions and as
well as its usage, too. Technologies applied in intelligent buildings will improve the building
environment and functionality for occupants, while reducing operational costs. Smart or
clever buildings, perhaps focus on control systems, but intelligent buildings go far beyond
this. An intelligent building has an implicit logic that effectively evolves with changing user
requirements and technology, ensuring continued and improved intelligent operation,
maintenance and optimization. It exhibits key attributes of environmental sustainability to
benefit present and future generations. An intelligent building system concept recognizes that
the true cost of the building is not its cost of construction; it must include the operating and
maintenance costs over the structure‟s life span. Intelligent buildings yield cost reductions
over all these areas by optimizing energy use through automated control, communication and
management systems. They also guard against repair costs, employee time, productivity loss,
revenue loss and the loss of customers to competitors. Now a day, all heard of „sickbuilding‟
syndrome and the misery this can inflict in the workplace in terms of poor health
and lost production. The notion of the Intelligent Building is the modern civil engineer's Big
Idea in tackling these and other such deficiencies. The intelligent building can adapt itself to
maintain an optimized environment. An intelligent building must be smart enough to vary the
environment to suit the users and also to provide various means of communication or
network regardless of whether it is internal or external. At an even more fundamental level
intelligent buildings can cope with social and technological change and also are adaptable to
human needs. This paper provides a review of research era in the area of Intelligent Building
with case studies.

in such a way that the requirement of various
resources is more or less uniform all along the
project duration.
• The main purpose of resources allocation is to
rearrange the activities of network in such a
manner that the project can be completed with
available resources, with minimum increase in cost
and without delaying the completion period.
Prof. Ashish Makwana 3
4. RESOURCE ALLOCATION:
PROCEDURE
1. Prepare - Network, Time duration, Critical path
2. Time scaled version of Network
3. Determined - Cumulative requirements of various
resources
4. Prepare – Histograms
5. Resource levelling – done by delaying some of the
non-critical activities
Prof. Ashish Makwana 4
5. RESOURCE LEVELLING
• Carry out when – (i) demand for a particular
resources exceeds its availability
• (ii) Requirement of Masons and Labours both,
because it is very difficult to arrange this much
persons on a day to day basis
• Done – by delaying some of the non-critical
activities which have float / adjusting the start time
of non-critical activities
• Activity adjustment – during process, max.
requirement does not exceed the limit of available
resources
Prof. Ashish Makwana 5
6. RESOURCE SMOOTHING
• Done – shifting of activities by their available floats,
so that a uniform demand for the resources are
generated.
• Project Time – not change in any case
Prof. Ashish Makwana 6
7. SCHEDULING
• Meaning – Process of preparing the work plan to a
time frame indicating the start and completion of
each activity
• Preparation – labour, material, machinery, money
• Useful – Actual progress of each activity compared
to planned programmes for corrective actions and
then speed up the work
