    Dear Haresh,

    I would recommend the following:

    Construction Planning and Scheduling, 2e, Thomas E. Glavinich, This is published by the Associated General Contractor of America.

    Project Managmenet, A systems Approach to planning, scheduling and controlling, Harold Kerzner, 10e, published by Wiley.

    This is a good excercise. Let’s see what you prepare.

    With kind regards,

    Samer
