The construction industry is significant in the development of the Malaysian economy towards fully developed nation. To implement construction project, a proper planning and scheduling is of vital important in order for the project to be executed and run smoothly. The best schedule is not the schedule showing the project completed in the shortest time period, it is the schedule that meets the primary objectives of the total project. Those primary objectives are to create a quality project, completed on time, within budget, and in a safe work environment.
