Construction scheduling is the process of planning and organizing the various tasks involved in a construction project. It outlines when each task should start and finish, helping to ensure that the project is completed on time. This involves coordinating resources, such as labor and materials, and identifying any potential delays that could impact the timeline. Effective construction scheduling uses tools like Gantt charts and critical path method to visualize the project timeline. By breaking down the project into smaller tasks, project managers can monitor progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring that the construction stays on track and within budget.
