    Subject Name: Construction Management
    Time: 10:30 AM to 01:00 PM Total Marks: 70
    Instructions:
    1. Attempt all questions.
    2. Make suitable assumptions wherever necessary.
    3. Figures to the right indicate full marks.

    Q.1 (a) Distinguish between Network diagram and Time grid diagram. Narrate 07
    advantages of time grid diagram.

    (b) What is network? Discuss various network rules. 07

    Q.2 (a) What do you understand by floats? Differentiate clearly between ‘total float’, 07
    ‘free float’, and ‘independent float’.

    (b) The data for the project is given in table. Prepare the network diagram with the 07
    estimated duration of various activates.

    field?

    Q.3 (a) What do you understand by ‘Cost slope’? Draw a typical cost-duration curve 07
    and show it on optimum duration and minimum project cost.
