Case Study: Construction Craig Construction: Home Improvement Project

Having completed the quality planning of the project, Nash wanted to set the expectations of schedule performance with Craig. He asked Craig, "What is the order in which you are planning to do the job?"

Craig answered, "Let's see?.?.?.?I will write down the activities for you."

Nash asked Craig to let him know the order in which the activities had to be completed. Craig took out paper and started writing down the activities with their durations. He wrote which of the activities would take precedence over the others.

Nash looked at the list and asked Craig, "So the only activities that can be done at the same time are the window installation and the roof and skylight installation?"
