 Construction PlanningJ. F. Woodward
Chapter 3 in Quantitative Methods in Construction Management and Design, 1975, pp 38-61 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract In the whole field of the construction industry the word ‘planning’ can have a number of different meanings. In the macro sense; such as in urban or regional planning, the subject concerns major decisions on what types of building shall be constructed and what their general form will be. Within the engineers’ terminology this may more truly be said to be a design phase. When the design of a building is complete and the drawings and other documents are passed to a contractor he will be concerned with his own aspect of planning, namely considerations of the methods and means he will use to execute the works already designed. This is the work traditionally carried out in the planning department of contractors’ organisations. The third use of the word ‘planning’ relates to the preparation of a time-schedule for the completion of the works whether by bar-chart or network methods, and is perhaps more truly referred to as programming.
