Project Management Analysis for a Multi-storey building using Analytical data and Primavera - A Comparison

Abstract In India, the construction sector ranks as the second largest industry. Planning, scheduling, controlling, and tracking the projects are necessary for managing construction projects because they frequently have time and cost overruns for a variety of reasons. Project monitoring processes may not be carried out effectively even with well-established principles and policies because of practical problems that arise or exist in the project. To overcome these issues software like Microsoft Project Management (MSP), Primavera, etc…are helpful. In this project, a multi-storey building is selected which is a residential building (G+3) with a total built-up area of 1487 Sqft located at HMT Society, Old Post Office Road, Jeedimetla. A plan is drafted in AUTO-CAD software, the detailed cost estimation of the building is prepared in a Microsoft Excel sheet and manual scheduling is prepared based on the site-monitored data. Its total cost is INR 75,00,000.00/-. All the major stages like creating an EPS, WBS, linking of activities according to their relationships and availability of resources, and determination of critical Path are clearly shown in the report. Finally, manual scheduling data is analyzed in Primavera P6 software, which clearly shows us the Gantt Chart and activity relationships report to analyze the project. It is found that there is a feasible way to use the data in these tools rather than Manual scheduling.
