Abstract

Project team members need rapid analysis of changing project requirements and site specific conditions. When an analysis of the impact of changing requirements and site specific conditions on the construction sequence is conducted, then the Critical Path Method (CPM) is frequently employed. Current CPM systems do not, however, facilitate analysis based on changing project requirements and site specific conditions. This paper describes a framework for revaluating construction project durations based on project data and heuristic knowledge about activities. Five "generic" types of interaction between project data and activity durations and logic are described.
