Findings
Results of the economic analysis have shown that total actual cost
of a three bedroom flat constructed in Ilorin with strawbale walls
is N1,358,460.00 with a duration of 29 64 weeks. However, using a
conventional sancrete block material instead of straw bale will
increase cost to N1,753,460.00 with a duration of 28.64 weeks,
thereby making a saving of one week project duration, but a loss
in project cost totaling N395,000.00. Critical path analysis is
recommended for the formulation, scheduling, and managing the
various milestones or activities in all construction work, as it
provides an empirically constructed schedule of planning activities
to meet some self-imposed or institutionally required calendar of
events. It also provides a visual picture through the development
of a model network displaying how all-planning functions tie
together.
The results show that the PERT/CPM technique can bring a great
contribution to the optimization of the times and costs of project
of the horizontal laminator production process and that applied to
other Industry projects, can lead to reduced costs and even
increase the amount of projects undertaken, and consequently
lead to an increase in its competitiveness
Hence we conclude that that the PERT and CPM techniques were
successfully used to generate the time in which activities should
be completed in a startup and how they actually depend on each
other. These techniques showed that the actual time taken is
more than the calculated time because of certain delays that go
against the circumstances. Thus CPM was used to show that the
activities which are of high priority should be given special
consideration as any effect on them can lead the project down.

The basic steps in Critical Path Method (CPM) are followed in these
findings:
The work is distributed into individual jobs or activities.
The precedence relationships among jobs are determined.
The arrow diagram or project network is drawn. They represent
precedence relationship.
Job durations are estimated.
CPM are used to schedule activities over time to minimize project
duration
During operation, if any job is delayed, use CPM to revise schedule
for remaining jobs.
