Definition of Project Duration
2018 CMGP
Project Duration is the total time that it takes to complete a
project that is usually expressed in terms of working time
units (hours, days, weeks, months and years). The duration
depends on the availability and capacity of the resources.
Computation of Project Duration
Basis used to compute the project duration:
2018 CMGP
1. Assessment of the person who will conduct the activity

Unworkable Days.
Derivation of Project Duration
Unworkable Days
2018 CMGP
- Sundays - usually 4 or 5 days per month
- Holidays - regular holidays
- Pre-Determined Unworkable Days - rainy/unworkable days
considered unfavorable for the prosecution of works at the site
Derivation of Project Duration
Sample Derivation of Duration based on DPWH DO No. 44 s. 2012
Calendar Days = [(given reference amount x reference duration per km. of road) ÷

estimated amount per km. of road ] + [duration of mob./demob. on the given reference
amount]

Derivation of Project Duration
Sample Derivation of Duration incorporating Duration Reduction Factor in
the formula shown in DPWH DO No. 44 s. 2012
2018 CMGP
Duration Reduction Factor is applied due to infusion of additional resources as the scope
of work becomes bigger.
Calendar Days = [(given reference amount x reference duration per km. of road) ÷
estimated amount per km. of road X Duration Reduction Factor ] + [duration of
mob./demob. on the given reference amount]

Based on DPWH DO No. 44 s. 2012
2018 CMGP
For projects costing more than P150 Million
- No standard duration was established
- Computation shall be based on the PERT/CPM schedule,
considering the use of optimum additional resources
Preparation of Construction Schedule
Scheduling
2018 CMGP
Is a listing of a project's milestones, activities, and
deliverables, usually with intended start and finish dates.
Those items are often estimated by other information
included in the project schedule of resource allocation,
budget, task duration, and linkages of dependencies and
scheduled events.
Preparation of Construction Schedule
PERT-CPM
2018 CMGP
Is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and
coordinate tasks within a project. It is basically a method to
analyze the tasks involved in completing a given project, especially
the time needed to complete each task, and to identify the
minimum time needed to complete the total project.
The critical path method (CPM) of scheduling is the most common
format used worldwide in the construction industry.

S-Curve and Bar Chart
Is a graphical report which2018
displays
CMGP the cumulative progress of a
project.
The purpose of a construction s-curve is to make sure that the
project is tracking according to what was planned, so that it
finishes on time and on budget.
S-Curve and Bar Chart
The reason for an S-curve being called an 'S-curve' is because the
shape/line of the graph typically
2018 CMGP resembles an S shape when
plotted. This is because projects are 'slow to start', ramps up with
all types of activity during the middle part of project delivery, and
slows towards the end.
