Modelling Building Renovation Using PERT

Effective project management techniques are critical to managers and decision makers in handling projects in today’s competitive environment. It is required that with such techniques, managers can carry out projects and complete them within specified time and resource constraint. This research considers the application of Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). PERT was used to analyze data collected from Mega Star Technical and Construction Company in charge of the renovation/building construction of renovaworks at 48 Forces Avenue, Old GRA, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The technique was used to obtain the network diagram, critical path, expected completion time for the project and the probability of completion within a required date. Ms Project version (2013) software was also used for the analyses. Results obtained revealed that the project can be completed within record time and possess a very high probability of completing the project within a stipulated date.
