Title : Requirements Identification for 4 D Constraint-based Construction Planning and Control System

Author(s): Eknarin Sriprasert and Nashwan Dawood Institution(s): Centre for Construction Innovation Research, University of Teesside E-mail(s): s-e.sriprasert@tees.ac.uk, n.n.dawood@tees.ac.uk Abstract: Construction planning and control are identified among the top potential areas needing improvements. A traditional technique known as the Critical Path Method (CPM) has been widely criticised in terms of its inability to cope with nonprecedence constraints, difficulty to evaluate and communicate interdependencies, and inadequacy for work-face productions. Attempting to treat these deficiencies, substantial research efforts have resulted in a wide range of advancements including design of new planning and control methodologies and development of sophisticated computerised applications. However, these efforts have not effectively overcome all of the above CPM drawbacks and, therefore, have not yet provided a solution to the industry.
