Abstract
In the Developing Countries (DC), it is often very difficult to gather sufficient financial resources to lead a project of construction until term. It is thus advisable to adopt a methodology of suitable planning in the construction industry. This paper is interested in the manner of programming the rare resources to achieve the goal of construction. We propose for that the Sub-Structure Chaining Diagram (SSCD), which is an approach consisting in breaking up the budget into sub-budgets, each one corresponding to a precise sub-structure. The programming of the sequences of construction will be dictated at the same time by technical constraints and the availability of resources.

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
