Break the project into major tasks, tasks and activities. Give each one a duration, budget, workforce, engineer, materials and machinery — then track what actually happened.

What’s in Project Scheduling
Planning hierarchy
Structure the work the way your site team already thinks about it.
- Major Task → Task → Activity
- Duration and budget
- Workforce and responsible engineer
- Materials and machinery
Activity status
Each activity moves through three plain states. Dependent activities wait for quality control on the work before them.
- Not Started → In Process → Completed
- Dependent activities start only after QC passes
Planned vs actual
See where the project is ahead, behind or over budget, activity by activity.
- Planned vs actual progress
- Planned vs actual cost
- Quantity of work
- Material requirement calendar
NMR — daily labour costing
Record daily labour on nominal muster roll: male workers, female workers and masons. Cost is calculated as headcount × labour rate.
- Male workers, female workers, masons
- Headcount × labour rate
- NMR actual vs expense in MIS
Rules built into Project Scheduling.
Dependent activities cannot start until the previous QC passes
Actual cost is compared against the planned budget
Activity material plans raise requirements in Purchase
