MAIN BODY
Task A
Gantt chart for the construction projects
Gantt charts are basically bar charts which help in providing visual view of the tasks which
are scheduled over time. It is helpful in planning the projects of all sizes and also proves to be the
most useful way to show that which work is scheduled for doing on specific day and time. These
make it easy for the project manager to evaluate the start and end dates of all the tasks which are
to be performed in the project.
The Gantt chart will be made for the construction project for residential purposes makes
much easy for planning, managing and communicating the construction schedule which
facilitates everyone who are working towards the same goals of the project. The project manager
schedule and assigns the work to the subcontractors and crew and the construction schedule is
shared with the stakeholders and clients so that they can be informed at each stage of the project.
The project management tools and the stages can be used for the project of construction for
the residential purposes by the XYZ building contractor. This project can be divided into 5
basic stages in which further include the sub-activities (Ismail, Srewil and Scherer, 2017). The
five phases are project initiation, project planning, execution, monitoring and closure.
