Man-hour norms for construction and EPCM estimating
397 indicative man-hour norms (MH per unit) for oil and gas EPCM, engineering, power, buildings and general construction: welding, piping, steel, equipment, cable, instruments, insulation, painting and more.
Weighted progress measurement and S-curves for EPC projects
How to measure physical progress on EPC and EPCM projects: weightage from man-hours, earned man-hours, quantity-based percent complete, weighted overall progress and planned vs actual S-curves, with a worked example.
Critical path method explained
Learn the critical path method: forward and backward pass, early and late dates, total float, and FS, SS, FF, SF links with lag. Then calculate the critical path of your own schedule free online.
