The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring
• To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality required.
![Page 3: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Planning Objectives
• Analyse• Anticipate• Schedule resources• Co-ordination and control • Feedback.
![Page 4: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Analyse
• This entails envisaging how the job will be done, in what order and with what resources
• The total job is then reduced to a number of manageable activities.
![Page 5: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anticipate
• This involves foreseeing any potential difficulties and making arrangements to overcome them.
![Page 6: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Schedule resources
• This will enable the best use to be made of all resources, – these being money, men, materials, machines and
management.
![Page 7: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Co-ordination and Control
• For any project to be successful it must be co-ordinated and controlled in order to ensure that the right resources are available when they are required.
![Page 8: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Feedback
• Information and data on the project must be kept so that it can be used for future projects, thereby learning from the previous works.
![Page 9: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Types of Planning and Monitoring
• Factors to be considered:
![Page 10: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Design Information Planning
• looks at the stages of design: feasibility, sketch and detailed design.
• lays down the dates when information and drawings are required to be received by the Contractor from the design team.
![Page 11: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Site Activity Planning (Construction Programme)
• This shows when the activities for individual operations are scheduled to start and finish on site.
• Can include the programmed timings and the actual timings.
![Page 12: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Resource Planning
• Involves the allocation of the five m's of money, men, materials, machines and management to the activities on the programme.
• The resources available will either dictate the time scale for the project, or the time scale of the project will dictate the resources that are needed in order to complete by a certain date.
![Page 13: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Financial Cost Planning
• This should show the anticipated costs throughout the duration of the project
• It will show how much money is required and when it will be called upon in order to finance the construction costs
• It must also show actual costs to be compared to those that are anticipated, thereby showing if the project is within the allocated budget, i.e. Cash flows and S-curves.

Procedure
• Determine what is required to be done• Break down the complete job into separate
operations• Determine the ways that each of those
operations can be carried out• Select the most appropriate method
(alternatively produce a method statement for each method).
![Page 16: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Place them in the sequence that they are to occur
• Determine what, if any, plant is required for each operation
• Determine the operatives required to carry out each operation (Remember to include plant operator)
• Determine if any special requirements apply.

Method Statement
This is a detailed schedule that considers alternative proposals and makes recommendations. It considers time, costs and technique for each method of carrying out the work and the resources necessary to perform the major activities in the project.
![Page 18: Planning & Monitoring. The Purpose of Planning and Monitoring To ensure that the project is produced on time, within the cost constraints and at the quality](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110321/56649cf55503460f949c3f33/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Methods of Programming
• Bar or Gantt Chart • Critical Path (Networks). Known as Activity-
on-arrow • Precedence Diagrams. Known as Activity-on-
the-node.

Bar or Gantt Charts
This depicts each operation as a bar on a chart. The length of the bar shows the time that the operation is expected to take. It shows the starting time and the finishing time.
