Abstract

Construction is a high-risk activity, which must be managed from procurement, through the design process and to the end of the construction stage. Thousands of tasks must be precisely controlled if a project is to run smoothly, on time and in budget. The completion of a construction project requires the judicious scheduling and allocation of available resources; Manpower, equipment and materials are important project resources that require close management attention. The project is carried out to have a comprehensive study about resource management and its optimization. The study is carried out based on the data collected through questionnaire survey. Resource leveling and resource leveling is carried out by checking over allocation of resources, thereby keeping the project “on time and under budget”.
