Critical Path Method Exercise Question With Solutions

The document provides three questions and solutions for calculating early start (ES) and early finish (EF) dates, late start (LS) and late finish (LF) dates, free float (FF) and total float (TF) for three construction project networks. The questions include precedence diagrams showing activities and their dependencies. The solutions show the calculations for the ES, EF, LS, LF, FF and TF for each network.
