When shortening a project's duration, activity crashing, fast-tracking and substitution are the
three most commonly employed compression techniques. Crashing generally involves …

In this research study, the investigation of building details on the construction project cost
and duration using artificial neural networks (ANNs) which possesses the ability to …

The impact of (adverse) weather is a common cause of delays, legal claims and economic
losses in construction projects. Research has recently been carried out aimed at …

Abstract Earned Value Management (EVM) is a well-known project management technique
for monitoring project progress. Over the last 15 years, many promising EVM metrics have …

Earned value management (EVM) is a classical project monitoring technique that is widely
used in construction projects. Due to its simplicity, this technique suffers from limitations due …

The influence of unforeseen, extreme weather in construction works usually impacts
productivity, causes significant project delays and constitutes a frequent source of …

The unique nature of construction projects can mean that construction activities often suffer
from duration and cost variability. Because this variability is unplanned, it can present a …

Fast-tracking a project involves carrying out sequential activities in parallel, partially
overriding their original order of precedence, to reduce the overall project duration. The …

Classical scheduling techniques are well-known to underestimate the average project
duration, yet they remain widely used in practice due to their simplicity. In this paper, the new …

Abstract In Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA), activity sensitivity metrics measure the importance
of activities in a project schedule. Highly sensitive activities are those more likely to increase …
