Abstract
In this paper a procedure is presented which provides a method to quantify work progress on construction projects. The procedure employs two management concepts, the work breakdown structure and the earned value. Although the theoretical basis for the proposed procedure is not new to the industry, it provides professional construction managers and project managers with a practical implementation of these concepts. The procedure is also an excellent computer application in construction management that requires only minimum programming skills. Examples of the input data file and output reports from an actual project are provided for numerical illustration.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
