It will resolve different issues of the project using Gantt chart, networkdiagram and other tools. PART 1For developing the campus building, contractor needs to construct six building; LearningResources center, University management offices, International Business School, Science andTechnology center, The Student Village and Student and Sports center. 1 a) Identification of the critical path and determine the latest date work should commence on siteCritical path can be defined as a sequence of the different stages for determining theminimum time for completing the whole project. It is also represents the longest path for theproject. It can be presented by the network diagram (Dey, Clegg and Bennett, 2010). Criticalpath for the current project is as under:1 | P a g e
