CONSTRUCTION PLANNING AND SCHEDULING: A CASE …

1 CONSTRUCTION PLANNING AND SCHEDULING: A CASE STUDY OF "CADANGAN MEMBJNA DAN MENYIAPKAN KEJLL1 YYAH SAINS UNTUK UNIVERSITI ISLAM ANTARABANGSA MALAYSIA" MOHD KHALIL BIN ABDUL KADJR A final year project report submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan dan Teknologi Malaysia NOVEMBER, 2006 ABSTRACT CONSTRUCTION PLANNING and scheduling is one of the important tool in a CONSTRUCTION project. Every CONSTRUCTION project involve with a lot of activities which need to be planned and schedule properly to ensure the completion of the project.

2 Therefore the study on CONSTRUCTION PLANNING and scheduling must be conduct to provide knowledge on this topic and (a view on how it is be implement theoretically and in the real case of CONSTRUCTION project). This study reviewed on the concept of sequence of work for building CONSTRUCTION project, scheduling technique used in the primavera project planner and the development of CONSTRUCTION PLANNING and scheduling on building CONSTRUCTION of science faculty International Islamic University Malaysia (hUM). From the study is found that the sequence of work for building CONSTRUCTION project can be divided in to four main categories which is substructure work, superstructure work, architectural work and mechanical and electrical work.

3 The study also found that the precedence diagramming method PDM is a scheduling technique used in the primavera project planner and the total duration for the HUM project after developed using the primavera project planner is 695 ABSTRAK Perancangan dan penjadualan pembinaan adalah salah satu daripada pengetahuan yang amat penting dalam sesuatu Projek pembinaan. Setiap projek pembinaan akan melibatkan banyak aktiviti-aktiviti yang akan dijalankan yang sudah tentunya memerlukan perancangan dan penjadualan pembinaan yang betul bagi memastikan projek tersebut dapat disiapkan dengan mengikut jadual.

4 Oleh sebab itu satu kajian ke atas perancanggan dan penjadualan pembinaan harus dijalankan kerana ianya akan dapat memberikan serba sedikit pengetahuan tentang topik mi dan memberikan gambaran bagaimana ianya dipraktikkan secara teori di dalam situasi pembinaan sebenar. Kajian mi menyentuh tentang konsep turutan kerja untuk projek pembinaan bangunan, teknik penjadualan yang digunakan di dalam perisian primavera dan penghasilan perancanggan dan penjadualan untuk projek pembinaan bangunan bagi kulliyyah sains Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia.

5 Daripada kajian boleh disimpulkan untuk turutan kerja bagi pembinaan bangunan boleh di bahagikan kepada empat kerja utama iaitu kerja-kerja untuk struktur bawah, kerja untuk struktur atas, kerja-kerja arkitek dan kerja-kerja mekanikal dan elektnkal. Dan kajian juga didapati bahawa kaedah gambarajah duluan adalah kaedah penjadualan yang diguna pakai dalam perisian primavera dan jumlah masa bagi projek pembinaan bagunan untuk kulliyyah sains Universiti Islam Antarabangsa adalah 695 OF CONTENTS CHAPTER TITLEPAGE TITLE1 DECLARATION DEDICATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ABSTRACT ABSTRAK TABLE OF CONTENTSvii LIST OF TABLESxi LIST OF FIGURESXii LIST OF APPENDICES xiiiCHAPTER 1 IN FRODUCTION General 1 Problem Statement 3 Objective of Study 4 Importance of Study 5 Scope of Study 6 vii CHAPTER

10 The basic human need have not changed over time even though the process and environment in which designer or constructor operate have becoming increasingly more complicated. Rapidly escalating technology has made possible structure and processes unimaginable even from generation to generation. By referring back to the flow of the global development industries it will see that developing country like Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and India are still spending a lot of money in development of a new project like housing, building office, shopping mall etc.
