Aims and Objectives To discuss how to resolve the delays in the critical path activites of the school project, without affecting the target completion date of the project. To focus on the use of effective monitoring and control techniques To provide recommendations as how to maximise learning within and between projects. When looking at the monitoring and control techniques on a construction project, it is important to point out that there are a number of them. However, this report looks at various cost control techniques that are used on a construction project because cost control is absolutely vital aswel as time and quality. This report also looks at other types of monitoring and control techniques, such as the Precedence diagram method and Crtitical path method.
