OPTIMAL PLANNING AND SCHEDULING OF HIGH RISE BUILDINGS

Objective: The research aims an empirical study on the application of MSP in every single aspect of a project from planning and scheduling phase. Irrespective of nature of work, location or norms in an organization, all the members work on tasks that are varied and involve people who do not usually work together but for the same objective. Methods: A project may have a simple goal that may not require many people or a great amount of capital or it may be complex to a certain extent, calling for various skills and excess of resources. But, the common line is that every human can manage projects. Due to this, the purpose of dealing with the project should not be only execution but the effective and efficient execution of a project is essential which is needed to be emphasized. Construction companies in India executes the project in a traditional way, this sometimes leads uneconomical and tedious too. The traditional method is time-consuming and bit confusion in execution. Findings: This paper will provide how to do planning and scheduling for a building which is a multi-storied (G+8) with Microsoft Project (MSP) software by observing the site conditions, labour productivity, and available resources with proper utilization of time and resources. Application: This approach can be projected to similar projects of the same size.
