1.1. Overview of The Project:

The Project is a Mall which consist of one floor with completely concrete Skelton, my company signed the
contract of this project 12 months ago and currently the project is in progress, but in my opinion
I think the planner who made the scheduling did some mistakes and didn’t obtain the biggest profit from
this project,
So, after 6 Months from progressing the project, I insist to replan the project from scratch and try to make a
difference and show how to get the maximum profit from it.

1.2. Project Background:


The project located in 5th settlement, New Cairo, Egypt, it’s about 800 square meter it’s made to service the
residentials located in HYDE PARK as he has large retail complex and a variety of stores and restaurants

The project contract was signed in 1/6/2020 between Al-Magraby company for construction development
and our company
and supposed to start in 1/9/2020 but due to the covid-19 pandemic it’s stopped and our company started it
in 1/1/2021 and it’s still in progress till now

1.3. Boundaries of the Project

Hyde Park is conveniently and strategically located in the most thriving location in New Cairo,
overlooking, both, Road 90 and the New Ring Road. AUC is just around the corner and Cairo International
Airport is a short 20-minute drive away. Just like its residents, who seek to find inner peace in a constantly
moving world, Hyde Park is within proximity of the city's bustling streets, yet retains an aura of tranquility
for its homeowners to retire to at the end of the day.

1.7. Project Needs:
Normal Contract needs are usually said to be cost, time and quality.
They are often pictured as a triangle as shown in the Fig.

Fig 1.7.1 Project needs

The use of the triangle is intended to illustrate the conflicts between these three objectives. If the promoter
wants the lowest possible cost, then it will not be in the shortest time-scale and nor of the highest quality. If
it is the best quality, the time scale will not be the short and the cost will be high. If the shortest time scale
is wanted then similarly quality may suffer and cost will also have to be sacrificed. These statements are
really so obvious as to be virtual truisms.

1. Quality
Design-Bid-Build was very suitable for quality at this project. As it’s needed to get every thing as planned
and maybe the owner needs some changes during construction

2. Time
To complete the project on time, the owner used open tender as the awarding method and it is obvious
time is very important because it is a new city, needed to solve many problems like overpopulation and
overloads on network of electricity and transportation. So, the mall is highly need in the area which it
located at

3. Cost The owner selected the Unit Price contract which is very suitable for this project especially with this
open tender so he can know the whole project budget before starting.

Fig1.8.1 W.B.S

As we see in Fig 1.8.1 it’s a simple W.B.S because the project activates is standard and there is nothing new in this
project so we divide the project to 4 Smaller Pieces ( Sub-Structure, Ground Floor, Roof . Facades) and then we
divided Sub-Structure to 2 work Package ( Earth Works, Concrete Works )
And then we listed the activities for each work package shown in Fig 1.8.2

Fig1.8.2 List of Activities

Then I started to obtain the quantities for each activity from the B.O.Q list and also check it from the drawings to be
sure about the quantities which consequent many things like duration and cost
You cand find the quantitates in Fig1.8.3

Fig1.8.2 Activities Quantities Fig1.8.3 Resources

As shown in Fig 1.8.3 I started to collect the data which our company uses while planning and divided the resources
to 4 resources Material, Labors, Equipment or we can get a Sub-contractor who can bear the whole activity and give
us a price for each unit

And then from the No. of crew assumed and the corresponding productivity while we have the quantities for each
activity then we can obtain the optimum duration for each activity by the equation
𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑦
𝐷𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 𝑁𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑤 ×𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑦
And after obtaining the duration I started to crash every activity to obtain the minimum possible duration for each
activity by using more crews which surely will increase the productivity then the duration will decrease but the cost
will increase so the mission was to get the lowest duration with the lowest possible cost,

Fig2.2.1 Duration Crashing


For example, Excavation :
I obtain that to finish this activity, the crew should be formed from 2 Labor with cost 120 EGP, 1 Loader costs
1250, 1 Excavator costs 2200 EGP and 1 Truck costs 1000 EGP
The crew productivity will be 200 m3/day
So, we assumed we have 1 crew with budget total cost / day = 4690 EGP
We obtain the corresponding duration for this productivity and we found that this crew will finish the required
amount of excavation in 6 days with total cost = 4690 x 6 = 28140 EGP
This was the optimum duration for this activity then we start to crash it by increasing the No. of crew

We assumed we have 2 crews but we found that if the one crew give productivity 200 m3/day by 100%
accomplishment the two crews won’t get a completion rate by 200% due to crowdedness and the lack of
supervisors and other considerations so we assumed that if we have 2 crew the productivity will increase by 70%
only
Then the productivity will be = 200 x 1.7 = 340 m3/day
This productivity will finish the required amount of work in 4 days with corresponding Total cost 37520 EGP
And then we tried 3 crews and assumed that the productivity will increase by 130 % more than if we use 1 crew
So, the productivity = 2.3 x 200 = 460 m3/day
This productivity will finish the required amount of work in 3 days with corresponding Total cost 42210 EGP
See Fig 2.1.5

Fig2.2.2 Excavation Crashing

Another example, Reinforced concrete for Skelton :

This activity authorized to sub-contractor and he gave us a price for each unit so we found that the cubic meter
costs 525 EGP not including materials also there is a cost for concrete pump of 40 EGP for cubic meter
So, the total cost not including materials = 525 x 270 + 40 x 270 = 152550 EGP

And for the materials we will need 24 Ton steel with 14,000 EGP for ton and 240 m3 of ready-mix R.C for 510
EGP for m3
So, the total materials cost = 24x14000+240x510 = 541200 EGP

The sub-contractor informs us that the productivity corresponding to the price he gave us equal 2 m3 per day
So, we estimated that he will take 135 days to finish the activity
With the same considerations like excavation, we assumed if he uses more man power worth 2 crews the
productivity will increase by 70% only
So, he will finish the activity in 68 days with total cost not including materials equal 153680 EGP
Then we tried 3 crew and obtain he will take 54 days with total cost not including materials equal 183060

And so on for all activities until we got 3 possible durations for each activity with corresponding 3 possible total
cost

Fig2.2.4 Backfilling Crashing

15 | P a g e
If we notice in Fig 2.2.4 for backfilling crashing, we will find that if we increase the crew to 2 or 3, we will obtain
the same total cost that happens because this is a numerical because of the quantity is small according to the rate of
productivity
So, in this situation and almost that happens in the activity which take small duration, there is no need to increase
the crews because those costs more and cause crowdedness in the location

After finish crashing all activities individually, I made a table showing for each activity the (Normal Duration) if
we use one crew with the corresponding cost which called (Normal Cost ) and the ( Crashed duration ) due to the
increasing of labors or equipment in the location and the corresponding cost which called ( Crashed Cost ) shown
in Fig 2.2.5

Fig2.2.5 Crash-ability & Cost Slope

And for each activity I calculated the number of days which every activity can be reduce into ( Crash-ability )
And estimated the cost corresponding for each day reduced ( Cost Slope ) as following
Crash-ability = Normal duration – Crashed duration
Cost Slope = Crash-ability / ( Crashed Cost – Normal Cost )

3.1. Project Scheduling with Normal durations

The previous scheduling for the project obtained that the project needs 17.5 months to be completed that
was with the same productivity I assumed and with the same normal duration, I tried to rescheduling with
the PDM method using the relations which can make more fast-tracking paths which will for sure reduce
the overall duration I used Primavera in all steps I mentioned before and also made a PDM diagram using
excel to make sure that everything is correct and obtain the relations between activities as Fig 3.1.1

Fig3.1.1 Activities relations with normal duration

As we see in fig 3.1.1 activity like R.C for Slab when I examine the drawings, I found that the columns will be constructed in
stages and there is expansion Joint between stages so I suggested to make an overlapping between R.C Column and R.C slab
as when the stage’s columns finish, we start the R.C Slab not to wait until we finish all the columns so the relations assumed
was SS +20

The same technique was assumed in Masonry works 25 Cm so the overall idea was to overlapping activity and not to wait
until the finish of the whole activity as the project will be constructed in stages

18 | P a g e
Fig3.1.2 P6 Scheduling with Normal duration

And when I made the scheduling I found that the project will finish in 445 days, about 15 months with 2

After made the schedule with normal duration I reschedule the project with Crashed duration to obtain
the minimum possible completion duration of the project after crashing

Fig3.2.1 P6 Scheduling with Crashed Duration

After crashing I found that the project can be crashed again from 445 days to 246 days
As 246 days is the minimum possible completion duration of the project

3.3. Indirect Cost estimation

In order to start crashing the project and get the optimum duration with least cost we have to calculate
the indirect cost required for each day because as known while the time decreases the direct cost increase
because I hire more crews with more cost to finish the work in less time but the indirect cost decreases
because I will save the money which will spend daily so in order to estimate the total cost, we have to
obtain the indirect cost
And every day I decrees have a corresponding indirect cost to save, In Fig 3.3.1

Site Overhead Cost


Supervisers Salaries
Sallary/Month Total No. INPUT
Civil Engineer 6000 90000 1 Project Duration (Month)
Accountant 5000 75000 1 15
Office boy 3500 52500 1
Surveior 2500 37500 1
Electrical Engineer 5000 75000 1
Safty Engineer 4000 60000 1 Total Direct Cost
Electrical Technician 2500 37500 1 EGP 3,707,311
Guard 3500 52500 1
Total supervisory salaries 480000
Fig3.3.1 Supervisors Salaries

The project requires at least one civil engineer and one accountant and one office boy etc.
With the salary per month for each employee as given in Fig 3.3.1 so if we estimate the total supervisory
salaries in Month will be = 6000 +5000 +3500 +2500 +5000 +4000 + 2500 + 3500 = 32000 EGP

So, for the whole duration of the project equal = 32000 x 15 = 480000 EGP

Also, there is another indirect cost in the location not only salaries there is car rent and banner and fence
And many things which the contractor will buy to get the work done, see Fig 3.3.2

Fig3.3.2 On-Site Services

If we collect the whole expenses on the project which consider indirect cost will equal =
480000 + 38450 + 37500 = 555950 EGP

So, the total overhead equal 555,950 EGP with percent 15% of the whole project cost and this is suitable
Then the indirect cost per day = 555.950 / 445 days = 1250 EGP / Day

CHAPTER 4 | PROJECT CRASHING

23 | P a g e
4.1. Crashing Trials

I started to make trials to crash the project as I select the critical paths and crash the activities which have
the least cost in order to get the max. reduction in duration with the least possible cost
From Fig 2.2.5 from Crash-ability and cost slope I start to make the trials to obtain the minimum
completion duration (246 days) by the least cost and I did 12 trials

Fig4.1.1 Crashing Technique

Trial #1

We will Crash the least critical activity cost slope; Masonry work have a crash-ability equal 33 days with
Cost Slope 74 EGP
But if we crash activity (Masonry work) alone there won’t be any change because of the F.F relation
between it and activity (R.C for slab)
So,

24 | P a g e
We will Crash Masonry work by 33 days
Cost increases = 33 x74 = 2442 EGP Total Cost increased = 2442+12441= 14883 EGP
We will Crash R.C for Slab by 33 days The Project Duration will be 412 days
Cost increases = 33 x 377 = 12441 EGP

Note: I could stop trials after trial #7 because the cost slope for each day more expensive than indirect
cost but I want to reach to min possible completion duration which equal 246 days

Fig4.1.16 Optimum duration

33 | P a g e
From Fig 4.1.16 we Can obtain that the Optimum duration which corresponding the least
cost is 331 Days with Total Cost 4,178,696 EGP

So overall, after using PDM and the relation the Project reduced from 17.5 Month to 445
day (15 month) with the same total cost
And after using crashing technique the project duration decreases from 445 to 331
(By 114 days)
And the total cost decreases form 4,263,408 EGP to 4,178.696 EGP
(By 84,712 EGP )
Not only that because there was incentive for early start equal 100,000 EGP for every
month earlier that mean 3333 EGP for each day
With total incentive = 3333 x 114 = 379,962 EGP

So, the duration decreases by 114 days and I save 464,674 EGP
When I used crashing and fast-tracking techniques
