Abstract - The main goal of this paper is the representation
controlling of a construction project is successful completion of every single task in the construction work. Constraint can be defined as anything such as technical sequencing, temporal/spatial limitations, and safety/quality concerns which restrict or prevent the project from achieving its goal. In its field complex construction projects such as industries, large substructure works like underground works and building projects like airports, campuses, hospitals etc. are all subjected to various adverse impacts on overall execution of project. Before the clearer topology constraints of interdependencies and material connectivity between various customs, other constraints should be satisfied before the work progresses in the field. They exist in every working environment even though every project will have at least one constraint which represents relationship between any process and a particular object, which prevents the project from achieving its goal. They may cause undesirable results or may not be contributory in the achievement of the goal. Constraints should be managed or the impact must either be reduced or eliminated.
of comparative survey of constraint’s theory and critical chain project management’s applications, which is well established according to the critical path method for the programme planned and scheduled in MS project software for the construction of project with commercial essence. The theory of constraints renders the ways to achieve the control over effective duration concept. CCPM is one of the applications of TOC to the management of project which outlines the core restriction as activities in the form of chain with length of project with the usage of buffer management whose objective is the give strict plan of construction that guards contrary to suspicions and cut down the impending impact on changes of construction by management of buffers effectively in planning, scheduling, and controlling to accomplish tasks without wasting time. Henceforth TOC, gives way for the awareness of constraints that are faced at the time of construction in order to reach the high performance and also helps to reduce the time taken to construct the project undertaken by following the five procedures of TOC with applications of CCPM and buffer management. The impact of the above said concept has to be well understood so that it can be appropriately adopted in forth coming projects for better provision on time in relation to its efficiency.
Constraints are generally classified into two main classes, one as Internal and the other as External. Constraints that are under the rheostat and are present inside the system are known as internal constraints. This indicates whenever there is more demand in the market and the system is unable to fulfill it, so required actions has to be taken to overcome this constraints. External constraints are lesser under control and are outside the system. This clearly means that the system capacity slacks to achieve the so called external constraints and their deeds undertaken will somewhat decrease undesirable effects instead of constraint elimination. Constraints with advanced impact are the root issues and lower impact constraints are with relatively lower impact which relates to environment factors on buildings project performance. Theory of Constraints is applied to critical chain method which offers advanced methodology to handle the connected hazard and uncertainty. In the way to minimize the possibilities of risk and the occurring uncertainty buffer management used, and it also gives away the report stating the ratio of impacts. Now a days just the scheduling does not lead to accuracy, to defeat this problem the latest schedules like CCPM or buffer management is used. Hence by the documentation of this method, we clearly

1. INTRODUCTION As we all know that we face many constraints in every working environment and with the more complexity in construction project, we need to be much sure about the planning and scheduling in construction management. If resources required are limited, it is very difficult for the schedule planning and controlling in a construction project. Sometimes we may not know that constraints exist and we lean to ignore those constraints and concentrate more on completion of project goal. Even if any organization is small or big, does stand alone or multiple projects, many of the projects are difficult to control and manage due to uncertainty and different commitments like date or budget. Most of the projects stop before they get completed which wastes the money, time and effort given for the project. Generally, the main objective of planning, scheduling and
