BLDG2023 Tutorial Answer

The document provides a precedence diagram and network calculations for a project with 11 activities (A to J). It includes: 1) The precedence diagram showing the logical relationships and durations of each activity. 2) Calculations of the earliest start and finish dates, latest start and finish dates, and total float for each activity. 3) An explanation that total float is calculated as the late finish date minus the early finish date or late start date minus the early start date. Free float is the minimum of the early start date of following activities minus the early finish date.
