- Abstract:
Network analysis techniques have been used for planning purposes in the construction industry for over a decade. They have been used with various degrees of success by the client to control the progress of his job; by the architect (or consultant) to plan the design phase of the project; and finally by the contractor to prepare his pre-tender and contract programmes. This study is concerned about the factors which contribute to higher success in the use of network analysis techniques in contracting organizations.
