Abstract - The focus of this work is to study scheduling
The presented work reviewed the concepts of activity sequencing used in building construction, scheduling techniques used in Microsoft Project Planner, and the development of construction planning and scheduling. The study provides information about the project from the start to the end of construction, including what needs to be done before starting the project, during the construction, and after the completion of the project.
methods and construction systems for multistorey buildings, with the aim of applying Microsoft Project software to plan and schedule a hypothetical RCC residential G+7 building construction project. The study compares the traditional approach used by architects, engineers, and contractors with the modern software technique. Observations from the study indicate that Microsoft Project software is an effective tool for generating Gantt charts for construction project schedules. The software also offers the ability to determine the minimum duration of construction time through schedule crunching and project crashing methods. Overall, the study provides valuable information on the application of Microsoft Project software for planning and scheduling building construction projects. The use of this software can help to streamline the scheduling process, increase efficiency, and reduce costs associated with construction projects. It is important to note that while technology can be helpful in project planning and management, it is not a replacement for experienced professionals in the field who can provide insights and make informed decisions.
1.1 Microsoft Project: Microsoft Project is a comprehensive project management software solution that aids project managers in planning and executing their projects. It provides the tools to create a detailed project plan, including tasks, milestones, and deliverables. Once the plan is created, resources can be assigned to each task, and the progress of each task and the overall project can be tracked. In addition, Microsoft Project enables project managers to manage the project budget and workload, ensuring that the project is on track and within budget. The four primary functions of Microsoft Project are developing a project plan, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, and managing the project budget and workload.

1. INTRODUCTION
1] Shruti Singh, Shweta Is tape, Amruta Survey, Sahil Pandey, Avinash Singh, Sangram More MGMCET, Kamothe, University of Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, India Project Management is the application of knowledge, tools, techniques and skills to any project activities to meet the requirements of the project. Usually, many construction industries in India do not practice the use of project management properly. Poorly managed projects usually result in a huge amount to all stakeholders not just financially but also psychologically and emotionally as well as it also consumes a lot of time. This has greatly motivated us to carry out the working and functioning of a project using modern project management tool, one of which is MSP (Microsoft Project). This paper consists of planning and scheduling of various activities involved in a construction project using MSP. The presented work clearly gives the difference between carrying out the work using MSP and traditional planning techniques.
The construction industry faces various challenges related to time management, cost control, and project delays. These challenges can be minimized through proper project planning, which involves detailing the strategy that should be followed to complete the project within the defined time, budget, and quality specifications. Effective project planning facilitates communication among stakeholders, documents planning assumptions and decisions, and develops approved scope, cost, and schedule baselines. Construction project management is the science and art of managing all aspects of the project to achieve project mission objectives, specific time, budget cost, and predefined quality specifications. It involves working efficiently and effectively in a changing project environment while ensuring the safety and health of construction workers. The mission of creating a construction facility or services is achieved through predetermined performance objectives defined in terms of quality specifications, completion time, budget cost, and other specified constraints.
