Construction Method The structural method that used is : finishing the structural part for the floor and then starting on the above floor structural work, and in the same time starting with finishing works for the previous floor.

Work Breakdown Structure

Bill of Quantity Preparation Calculations were made depending on Drawings to find the quantities and tabulating it.

Activity List The activity list entered in the (Primavera) program and it’s dependency also were managed on this program. The dependency of the activities were constructed according to our method of construction.

Activities Durations The activity duration depends on the productivity of labors and machines. [Duration = quantity budgeted for activity \ productivity]. At this project the productivity taken from site engineers and contractors.

Cost Results Total cost of project calculated using Primavera project is (386,622.5€) The profit percentage is 10% (since project like this depend on labor so the risk is high) The over head percentage is 5% The actual cost of project was (340,000€)

Duration Results The total duration of the project as planed in this case study is 325 working days. actual work in the project was 365 working days.

Some reasons of the difference of the time and cost Material procurement Problems of finance for the project Political reasons Winter weather (rainy days)

S-Curve cost control of this project made By using (S-Curve), by comparing the actual cost with the plan cost of the project. For this project the S-Curve is done by plotting cumulative cost with time as shown.

Weather Risks Average rainy days of the last three years from msn weather data (for Nablus city),and depending on this calculation is done. 35 working days (40 calendar days) added to the end of project depending on rainy days and the beginning and finishing of the activities affected by rainfall.
