Sarah,



Have a look at the Society of Construction Law’s Protocol on Delay and Disruption, it will give you an insight as to why proper planning and programming is important.

Sarah,



"Scheduling Manual" from www.rsmeans.com is an excellent reference for project planning/controls, as it explains the subject in detail with sample projects.



You can inquire them if this book is still on prints.
