  • Abstract:
    In this paper a procedure is presented which provides a method to quantify work progress on construction projects. The procedure employs two management concepts, the work breakdown structure and the earned value. Although the theoretical basis for the proposed procedure is not new to the industry, it provides professional construction managers and project managers with a practical implementation of these concepts. The procedure is also an excellent computer application in construction management that requires only minimum programming skills. Examples of the input data file and output reports from an actual project are provided for numerical illustration.
