Q1: Discuss what resources are most critical for most of the construction projects and how to incorporate the information into the schedule?

There are many ways to make the schedule more effective and they are, Project deliverables, Tasks required to complete the deliverables, Dependencies between tasks, Resources required to complete each task, Task durations and project deadline, Budget of the project, and Planned time for each resource. As well, for incorporate the schedule by monitoring and controlling the schedule and estimate the duration of each of the activities.

Q2: Discuss one disadvantage that you see in using a linear schedule for a multilevel building project?

The disadvantage of having a linear schedule for a multilevel building is that it will require to re-develop the schedule all the time. It becomes extremely detailed that making the network difficult for the user to visualize and manage even. The exact originals of graphical techniques are not clear and they may have multiple original. As well, the limitation of linear scheduling method is that it assumes that production rates are linear

1. Discuss what resources are most critical for most of the construction projects and how to incorporate the information into the schedule?

To complete an activity, the CM needs to ensure 3 elements are provided in a timely manner:

Human resources – Meaning the corresponding qualified team needs to enter the site at the intended time.

Equipment – Either the appropriate team or the CM must procure the equipment that will facilitate . This not only refers to the power tools used for a job, but also refers to scaffolding, safety gear etc.

Materials – Meaning the actual construction materials used to build. This goes from steel and concrete to carpentry, flooring, and light fixtures.

2. Discuss one disadvantage that you see in using a linear schedule for a multilevel building project ?

While multilevel building projects are indeed quite predictable and repetitive, often they are filled with detailing. Other projects that typically employs Linear scheduling , such as highways and roads are heavy on structure but low on detailing such as interior finishes, carpentry etc.

This causes many smaller tasks that come from a multilevel building that need to be registered and accounted for on the linear schedule, making the schedule to become flooded with activities.

This can me it hard to understand and confusing to a team member. The information may not be as easy to access because of the formatting of the chart, as opposed to say a Gantt chart.

1. Discuss what the recourses are most critical for most of the construction projects and how to incorporate the information into the schedule?

Virtually all projects have limited capacity or resources. Therefore, the success of a project is tied to how well the resources are managed and how well the project is scheduled. The traditional methods of project scheduling have been either the Critical Path Method (CPM) or the Gantt Chart. However, Critical Path Analysis is limited in its assumption the project has infinite capacity. A new method of project scheduling has been proposed the incorporates finite capacity of labor. capital equipment, facilities, and material into its scheduling formula. Resource scheduling incorporates decisions about capacity into the scheduling process using two methods:

Time: constrained and resources constrained. Time-constrained scheduling uses time factors as its critical variable, while resources-constrained focuses on the limited capacity of resources, with emphasis on resolving capacity overload problems.
