3. Introduction
Countries around the world provide major preference to the
construction industry, but use of traditional practices and improper
planning causes several problems in construction, which may be in
the form of delay in project delivery, increased cost of construction,
poor quality in construction, increased risk of crisis, all these flaws in
construction calls for an effective project management and quality
control system .
In this present study Microsoft project 2013 is used for the purpose of
scheduling and quality control check list are introduced to monitor the
quality in construction .

4. PROJECT AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A project is an individual or collaborative enterprise involving
research, design that is carefully planned by the assigned team to
achieve a particular aim.
Project management is the effective management of all the resources
involved in a project such as skills, knowledge, tools and
techniques, cost, people, time, money and many more in order to
meet the needs and expectations of the stake holders.

6. PROJECT PLANNING
A construction project planning is the process of scheduling all the activities of the
project, and managing various resources involved in the project which may be in the
form of men, material, machinery, skill, knowledge, money etc, in order to complete
the project within the stipulated time period with the specified quality.
Steps in Project planning
Some of the steps involved in planning are as follows
 Scoping Stage
 Schedule development
 Execution stage
 Monitoring
 Rescheduling 6

9. LITERATURE REVIEW
Abishek and Pathak (2015)
 Analyzed the relation between the project completion time and the manpower
availability as inversely proportional, that is the completion time of the project can
be reduced by increasing the manpower.
 For this study, author considered a multi storey building construction named
“MahadevParisar at ShivajiNagar Bhopal”. The project attributes consists of G+6
floors residential apartments with 92 flats in it. With an available land area of 2.64
acres at shivajinagar Bhopal with the estimated duration of completion of 24 months,
but the project was delayed. In this paper author suggests, the delay was due to the
improper planning, scheduling, execution and controlling of the project.
 In this project MSP2013 is used as the project management tool, and two phase
methodology is adapted.
 As a result the estimated time of completion was exceeded from 693 days to 1424
days, the cost of manpower was exceeded from 2.5 crores to 3.1 crores . The
variance cost of 67 lakhs and the variance time of 731 days were found as a result of
application of scheduling.

 Analyzed the use of Microsoft project in comparing the construction of villas, in
this paper the author has considered a case study on a live project construction
called “Ramky Pearls” villas in Hyderabad.
 Time and material management is explained in order to increase the
effectiveness, efficiency and productivity of the project, need for the adoption of
an effective management system with a management tool, effects of
inappropriate time management, such as increased cost, loss of profit and
damage to the reputation are clearly stated.
 The project planning methodology adapted is CPM by using MSP, in this
methodology two types of construction practices are considered
Type 1: Construction of three villas one after the other
Type 2 : Construction of three villas simultaneously, and the data from both the
cases are collected on regular basis, the variation of time and cost on both the
methods are reported using the different report options available in MSP report.

 Found that construction industry is contributing heavy to the GDP
of a nation and also provides jobs to several people directly and
indirectly, as so many lives and industries are dependent on the
construction activities, construction quality control and assurance
becomes a major area of concerned.
 Quality control programs are conducted in accordance with the
specified code of practice, and it is made sure that these codes are
practiced in construction, in the form of checklist and quality norms
of the organization, quality assurance is to guarantee the quality in
construction to the clients, by conducting the quality control audits.
 The various construction materials that are considered for quality
control are stone, brick, cement, fine, aggregate, course aggregate,
steel, concrete .

14.  Project is carried out in two Phases
Phase I
For this Phase of the project, basic information required to execute
the project is collected, basic information includes
 Previous similar successful project schedule
 Site conditions , site survey report are thoroughly studied
 Expert advice on the project
 Labour availability at site
 Material inventory
 Machines used
14

15. METHODOLOGY
Phase II
This the phase of the project where actual project is executed
Schedule Development
 With the available data and expert judgment various activities
involved in the project are listed and the relationship between each
and every activities are defined.
 Start and end dates for the completion of each and every activities
are defined
15

16.  The resources available are allocated for each and every activity,
project calendar is set as per the companies working days and
working hours per day.
 The activities are represented by graphical representation called
Gantt chart, which clearly indicates the relation between the
activities in a easily understandable manner, MSP Gantt chart is as
shown in fig

19. SCHEDULE ESTIMATION
 The resource for the specific task can be allocated only by knowing
the quantity of the work to be performed or by knowing the quantity
of materials to be used for that particular activity.
 The quantity of materials to be used and the quantity of work to be
performed in order to complete a particular activity can be
calculated manually using long wall short wall method or grid line
method of estimation with the help of the hard copy of good for
construction drawing available.
19

20.  All the quantities can also be obtained by softcopy of
AutoCAD drawing approved and issued by the architects.
 The quantities that needs to be calculated are Excavation
quantity, concrete quantity, steel quantity, block work
quantity, plastering quantity, painting and many other
quantity of materials and work that take part in the project.
 All the quantities obtained are tabulated using another most
popular Microsoft software called MS Excel as shown in
Table .
