  • Abstract:
    The path float use in the network is an effective method used to cope with various uncertainties existing within the construction. However, the current path float calculating method may bring misleading information to the managers on site and then cause project duration risk in the construction. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method, which calculates the noncritical path float in the program evaluation and review technique (PERT), to copy with the uncertainties within the network implementation, and to reduce the misleading information. An example network was analyzed with the new method, the results showed the consistent path float under required completion probability and required duration. The new path float concept will bring useful planning information to the managers and the planners in the construction.
