Abstract
Construction projects are commonly scheduled by the critical path method or its similar methods, with the assumption that resources are unlimited. The ranked positional weight method, which may be used for project scheduling and resource allocation for both constrained and unconstrained resource scheduling, is found to be relatively easy in application. In construction, the availability of resources is sometimes limited and this leads to an extension of project duration. The critical path method and similar approaches cannot provide an answer in this scenario. A bridge construction project is used to illustrate how the method can be applied.Key words: scheduling, resource allocation, ranked positional weight method.
