Abstract

The project evaluation and review technique (PERT) and critical path method (CPM) were applied in a building construction company. Different activities involved in the house construction project were described. The earliest events, latest commencement and completion of activities were determined using Forward and Backward pass computations in CPM. Critical paths were determined using both CPM and PERT. Based on the analysis, it was shown that the completion of the house project using CPM was almost the same with that of PERT such that the difference between both techniques was only one day.
