6. So what do all these buildings have in common???
Someone even 500 years ago

However as the building process have evolved so has
planning process.
But basic principles are the same.

7. A series of small tasks , steps or small projects.
Planning definition
Thinking ahead !
A large task or project is what?????
A series of small tasks , steps or small projects.
Our job is to take the finished project work backward and define what these steps or task are.

Instigation or predecessor What can I do after I have finished this task This becomes the instigator or successor of the next task REFINEMENTS OF THESE TWO What can I do concurrently whilst doing this task? Do I have to 100% complete a task before starting the next one?

9. The perfect situation
This is fine in a factory control situation but building construction is subject to many risks and constraints. So we need to adapt our requirements of effective construction planning to suit. What is the basic difference between Project work and factory work. Effective construction planning is a clear interpretation of the steps or tasks required to carry out the completed project in accordance with constraints of the site and within the requirements of the end user.

12. Summary learn this
Construction planning refers to understanding what has to be built, then establishing the right method, the right plant and the right labour force to carry out the works safely and to the quality required, in the most economical way to meet the site constraint and the client requirements
