can be subdivided further into crashing and fast tracking.
Crashing is a schedule compression technique in which extra
resources are added to reduce completion time of activity.
Initially the critical path should be analyzed and select the
desirable event for which crashing should be performed.
While using crash procedure it is important to have tab on
another path as it has risk that duration of any other path
may become critical. Examples for applying crash such as
increasing the resources, providing overtime shifts, inspiring
the team by financial/bonus rewards. Fast tracking is also a

on critical path by evaluating the schedule, however there is
increase on risk as events will be on parallel which were in
the sequence when planned in the beginning. It helps in
reducing the time to a certain limits it may lead to high risk
and undesirable outcome may be resulted.

4. DATA ANALYSIS

It is the project based on the G+2 residential building which

is being constructed in the kalaburagi city. All the necessary
data required have been extracted from the documents
provided by client and contractor for the purpose of
producing the schedule of activities based on the duration
which is involved in construction, providing necessary
resources to each one of them. Site is located in a congested
area so to practically make the construction is quite tough.
This house consists of 8 bed rooms, 3 halls and 6 bathrooms.
All the quantities have been taken from the BOQ provided.
Duration for each activity is given by contractor based on it
scheduling is done.

Reasons for above mentioned delay

1. Improper coordination between contractor and labour

leads to late start of excavation at original date.
2. There was a conflict as payment was not done caused
labours strike and effect schedule.
3. Bricks which were procured was not of desired quality,
hence it was returned and exchanged.
