- Abstract:
Contractors are required by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to submit a progress schedule identifying the controlling path of activities for a construction project. During the 2000 construction season, MDOT allowed contractors to submit a progress schedule with overlapping or concurrent controlling operations. Prior to this, only one activity at a time could be controlling on the progress schedule. This paper reports on the results of a research project where the focus was to examine the accuracy of the progress schedules, which only list controlling items. Eight construction projects were studied and a determination of progress schedule accuracy was made. This was done to determine if there was an increase in accuracy of the schedules when concurrent controlling operations were used. Included in the eight projects were four without concurrent controlling activities and four with concurrent controlling activities. A comparison based upon similar projects with and without concurrent activities was made. Additionally, 22 projects were analyzed, all without concurrent controlling activities, to determine the accuracy of progress schedules for two types of projects. The comparison revealed that, in three of the four cases, the accuracy of progress schedules increased with the allowance of concurrent controlling activities. The 22 projects revealed that the accuracy of progress schedules varied considerably. It was also determined that contractors overestimated the duration of activities included in progress schedules.
