Pert

Pert, or Program Evaluation and Review Technique, is a project management technique used to estimate the duration of project tasks and to identify the minimum time needed to complete the project. It is a methodical and systematic approach that uses a network diagram to represent the sequence of the tasks and their interdependencies. By using the Pert technique, it is possible to determine the critical path of a project, which is the sequence of activities with the longest duration and the lowest amount of slack time. It is a reliable method of estimating project duration, providing a detailed and accurate overview of tasks and resources, as well as helping to identify potential risks and issues.

Masonry is a form of construction which involves the use of shaped blocks of stone and mortar to create structures. Pert, an abbreviation for Program Evaluation and Review Technique, is a method of project management that incorporates the use of diagrams and networks to analyse and assess the likely costs and outcomes of a construction project. This type of analysis is beneficial to the architect in that it allows them to develop a comprehensive understanding of the potential risks and benefits of a project before proceeding with it, in order to help ensure that the project is completed in a timely and cost-effective manner.
