delayed due to improper management and planning.
The project planners have to take care of timely
delivery by considering all the factors affecting the
project management. The construction projects are
to be planned according to available resources,
manpower, funding, permissions and assurance of
timely completion with better quality. Authors have
tried presenting the review of various means of
construction management and planning by the
literature survey carried out on the papers from
different countries and the opinions are concluded.

planning formulation refers to the definition or
description of a design problem in wide terms via the
synthesis of thoughts describing alternative facilities.
Evaluation refines the problem definition or description
by way of keeping apart crucial from peripheral records
and with the aid of pulling collectively the important
detail. Interpretation and prediction are commonly
required as a part of the evaluation. Search includes
accumulating a set of ability solutions for performing the
desired functions and fulfilling the user requirements.
Decision means that each of the potential solutions is
evaluated and in comparison to the alternatives until the
best solution is acquired. Specification is to explain the
selected solution in a form which includes sufficient
detail for implementation. Modification reefers’ to the
change in the solution or re-design if the solution is
determined to be wanting or if new statistics is
determined inside the process of design. As the project

the design procedure becomes greater formal. In
general, the actions of formulation, evaluation, search,
decision, specification and modification still hold,
however they represent particular steps with less
