Project schedules should mirror the project, as the project takes place. Accurate project schedules, when updated and revised, reflect the actual progress of construction as performed in the field. Various methods for monitoring progress of construction are successful in their representation of actual construction as it takes place. Progress monitoring techniques clearly identify when we are behind schedule, yet it is less obvious to recognize when we are going to slip behind schedule. This research explores how schedule performance measurement mechanisms are used to recognize construction projects that may potentially slip behind schedule, as well as what type of early warning they provide in order to take corrective action. Such early warning systems help prevent situations where the contractor and/or owner are in denial for a number of months that a possible catastrophe of a project is going to finish on time. This research develops the intellectual framework for schedule control systems, based on a review of control systems in the construction industry. The framework forms the foundation for the development of a schedule control technique for forecasting schedule slippage — the Required Performance Method (RPM). The RPM forecasts the required performance needed for timely project completion, and is based on the contractor's ability to expand future work. The RPM is a paradigm shift from control based on scheduled completion date to control based on required performance. This shift enables forecasts to express concern in terms that are more tangible. Furthermore, the shift represents a focus on what needs to be done to achieve a target completion date, as opposed to the traditional focus on what has been done. The RPM is demonstrated through a case study, revealing its ability to forecast impending schedule slippage. / Master of Science

The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the capability and inclination of the aerospace and electronics industry contractors to abide by the general provisions of the Cost/Schedule Control Systems Criteria (C/SCSC).

The aim of the thesis is to solve selected parts of the construction technology project for the building of the multifunctional complex Rudiny II, Žilina - building block D. The content of the thesis is a technical report to the construction technology project, studies of the implementation of the main technological stages of the building. technological regulation for horizontal and vertical monolithic structures, quality control and testing plan for the production of vertical and horizontal monolithic structures, OSH plan. In the appendix of my diploma thesis I processed drawings of construction equipment, itemized budget of the building, object budget according to THU, time plan of construction, dimensions of construction machines, laying plan for system formwork on standardized floor of multifunctional house.

The subject of my diploma thesis is selected parts of the construction technology project of Tomas Bata University in Zlín. The content of the work is mainly elaborated technological regulation for making the monolithic ceiling shell of the main aula of the building, processing of the control and test plan and drawings of the ceiling shell. Next, I worked on the design of suitable transport routes to the construction site, the processing of the studies of the implementation of the main technological stages, the design and the processing of the drawings of the construction site, which varies in time depending on the progress of the technological stages, the design and assessment of the lifting mechanisms and machines, time and financial plan, the timetable for the rough construction and the main technological stages, budget of the rough construction, health and safety at work.

This master thesis deals with construction technology project of the residential building Rezidence na Plachtě. This building is in Hradec Králové. A technical report is prepared for the construction project, time and financial plan of the construction, a feasibility study of the main technological phases, proposal of the main building machines and mechanisms, schedule of the main object, technological regulations for the implementation of monolithic ceilings by means of a control and test plan. The budget of the main building was prepared as part of the other assignment, calculation according to THU and an economic balance sheet for RC ceiling above the 1st floor. Finally, an assessment of critical surface temperatures was performed.

This thesis describes the implementation of the proposed project, which concerns the reconstruction of the existing building of shopping center and restaurant. To built-in an atrium area, outdoor terraces and extension of the second storey superstructure of the building will be realized the project of the Retirement Home. This work contains a summary technical report, processing of technological regulations, report building equipment, design of the main building machines and mechanisms, assessment services, occupational health and safety plan, itemized budget and schedule subject to Retirement Home.

The diploma thesis deals with construction technological project of shopping centre Breda & Weinstein in Opava. The thesis handles technological prescriptions of cast-in-place reinforced concrete constructions and ventilated facade made of large format precast elements with graphical surface. There is machine assembly, design of site equipment, control and test plan and computation of time of formwork dismantle for the realization of reinforced concrete constructions. There is also time and financial plan, itemized budget with bill of quantities and construction schedule for earthwork, building foundations and cast-in-place constructions.

The diploma thesis deals with the construction project of the new building of the primary school in Bobrová. The main goal of the thesis is to propose a suitable implementation procedure in relation to the specific place of the site. The thesis deals with the time schedule of the main object, itemized budget, major building machines and mechanisms, project of site equipment, study of the construction realization, material resources plan, technical report, time schedule and financial plan of the main object and also with the situation of the construction. It focuses in detail on the stage of earthworks, including the reinforcement of the walls of the building pit using soil nailing. For this stage a technological regulation and a control and test plan have been developed.

The aim of the diploma thesis is to elaborate parts of the frozen food warehouse construction project in Dašice in the area of MD logistics as, resulting in the elaboration of a technical report on the building technology project, the coordination situation of the building with the broader relations of the transport routes, the time and financial plan of the construction in the plane of the buildings, implementation of the main technological stages of the main building, drawing of the building site equipment, design of the main building machines, detailed time schedule of the main building, budget line, technological regulation for implementation of foundation structures consisting of drilled pilot and supporting walls, quality control and test plan for the given stage , drawings of the earthworks equipment and the construction of the hall.
