governed by two vital components; cost and time. The main aim of project management is to complete the project within specified time, cost and scope along with assured quality. Adopting conventional execution practices, it is difficult to constantly measure the progress of work, evaluate plans, track the cost and time as well as adopt corrective measures wherever required. Planning effectively by systematic application of project management skills and techniques has become the need of the hour in order to overcome the problems faced by adopting conventional construction execution practices. There are various tools and techniques available for optimizing the construction procedure to prevent cost and time overruns. The monitoring tools adopted during construction plays a significant role for thriving completion of project on time and within estimated budget. In this study, an effort is made to estimate the overall cost and time required to execute a multi-storeyed residential building by use of conventional construction execution practices and by adopting project management techniques to compare the results for justification. Keywords: Project Management, Microsoft Project (MSP), conventional construction execution, cost optimization, time optimization and resource optimization;
1. INTRODUCTION Project management involves the application of various knowledge areas, tools and skills along with numerous techniques to congregate project requirements like duration and cost. The factors that affect project management are: 1.
Project cost: Projects must be within the planned budget.
2.
Project time: Project must be delivered on specified time.
3.
Project scope: Project must be within précised scope

requirement without affecting the quality, budget, précised scope and should be completed and delivered on specified time.
1.1 Project Management in construction A project generally starts at the right pace but as it proceed, activities gets off the schedule due to various tribulations like; improper planning, uncertainties, non delivery of resources on time, execution delays, environmental factors and so on, which directly impacts on cost. Thus, application of project management in construction aims to accomplish the precise goals by virtue of perfect planning, scheduling, executing, monitoring as well as controlling time, finances and utilizing all resources effectively. It is an interconnected group of processes which directs the project team to accomplish a successful project within specified cost as well as time.
1.2 Project Management Software Project management can be implemented to projects achieved via software like Microsoft Project and Primavera, which are applications developed to help manage projects and other works effectively. The applications are able to perform the following: a) Develop and schedule a plan b) Create an appropriate standard base calendar or based upon usage working calendar c) Assigning relationships between scheduled activities d) Define resources required for the project e) Helps to level and smooth out the resources between activities f) Helps to update and track work progress regularly g) Performs earned value analysis h) Allows to incorporate revisions and reanalyzes the data ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal
