  • Abstract:
    The market for commercial, industrial, and institutional building renovations has grown significantly in recent years. To meet the challenges of this increasingly important part of the construction industry, a new four‐phase Disturbance Scheduling Technique is presented. It is an adaptation of the Critical Path Method (CPM) which resolves current shortcomings by integrating construction activities with ongoing building operations. An algorithm is applied to modify logic network diagrams and account for construction constraints peculiar to the renovation process. A demonstration on an actual project yields very positive results in accomplishing both better synchronization with facility operations and significant time savings.
