Component

Contract time is defined as the maximum time allowed for a contract to be completed; meaning all the work that was outlined by the contract should be complete. Issues arise when projects have time left over after the project is done or when they need more time to be completed. Some of the factors that can delay the project are weather conditions, the material not being delivered on time, the workers trying to learn how to perform a certain activity or limitations from the state or agencies involved in the project. Estimating the duration of a construction project has become a challenge for engineers because of all the different elements involved in the process. This literature review goes into an extensive research of various state transportation agencies and their scheduling systems, as well as the factors affecting the production rate calculations. This paper will help understand how the scheduling in highway projects has progressed over time and what still needs to be done in order to schedule successful projects properly.

This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AFH10 Standing Committee on Construction Management.
