Please complete Case Study 10.1: Project Scheduling at Blanque Check Construction on page 360 of the textbook, and answer the three questions at the end.

Project Network (Blackburn, 2002).

Steps	Activity	Activity Description
Step 1	Vendor selection	The vendor are selected in this very first phase
Step 2	Contract signing	Contracts with the selected vendors are made
Step 3	Requirement gathering	Requirements gathering is done in this activity
Step 4	Requirement analysis	Gathered requirements are analyzed
Step 5	Planning scope	Scope of the project is planned
Step 6	Planning budget	Budget available for the project is defined here
Step 7	Planning time	Time required to complete the project is planned
Step 8	Design	Design of the product is worked upon
Step 9	Implementation	Design is implemented
Step 10	Development	Development of the product starts
Step 11	Prototype testing	Prototype of the product is made for testing
Step 12	Engineering	Engineering related to the product is carried here as in this case it is civil engineering for the construction of properties
Step 13	Subcontract signing	Subcontracts to different local contractors are made in order to divide the work load
Step 14	Quality testing	The quality of the product is tested in this activity
Step 15	Environmental Testing	The buildings made are tested in accordance with the suitability to natural environment
Step 16	Addressing shortcomings	Discovered shortcomings are removed
Step 17	Final Testing	Final testing of the product is carried in this activity prior to the release
Step 18	Release	The tested product is delivered to the client
Step 19	Maintenance	The maintenance work of the product is performed in accordance with the time constraints defined in the contract
Step 20	Project termination	The project is closed officially

Question No. 2

Expert Opinion for Calculation of Duration Estimation for the Project Activities

This approach can be used by contacting different estate experts that have the idea of that particular market in which the construction will take place. The opinion of such people can matter a lot in the project and such experts should also be made to give opinions that are well aware to the construction projects in that site.

Past History for Calculation of Duration Estimation for the Project Activities

The past history can also provide sufficient data regarding the duration estimates for the project activities as it can efficiently predict the duration of future activities on the basis of the pattern found in past projects (Saunders, 1990).

Mathematical Calculation for Calculation of Duration Estimation for the Project Activities

The mathematical calculations are also an effective tool for the duration estimates. The time limits can be utilized in the mathematical equations to predict the duration of various activities accurately.

Question No. 3

Joe should consider following issues before choosing between the methods of AON and AOA:

The feasibility of construction projects in that particular area
Analysis of available resources like time and money
Analysis of past projects
Estimating available workforce
Demands and needs of the client

Part 3

Network Activity Chart (Andronov, 2013)

The expected duration of the project is 7 weeks.

Part 4

Project Activity Network

Critical Path and other Paths through the Network (ARSHAM, 1999)

The critical path through the network is C–G–H that has the longest resulting value of 14.

The other paths like B-D-F and D-F-H can be identified as subcritical with the values of 12 for both.
