Abstract
In the literature on the scheduling of construction projects it is difficult to find a justification for adopting the criteria for evaluating work schedules based explicitly on the preferences of those who develop them. This article tries to fill this gap and provide information on the preferences of construction site managers for sustainable scheduling and organization of construction projects. The publication focuses on the views and needs of construction site engineering staff regarding methods of work organization, the need to reduce downtimes in the work of crews, the deadline for project realization and the selection of crews for tasks. This information was obtained on the basis of surveys conducted among managerial staff of various levels (74 people). The authors hope that the information provided in this publication will allow the creation of more reliable tools to support construction managers better adapted to their preferences and needs, and therefore more likely to be applied in practice.

In order to identify the practical needs in the field of project scheduling and the preferences of people managing construction projects, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the realization constraints and criteria for assessing construction schedules
Of respondents), construction manager (20%) or works manager (19%) from one to five years (36%). Their construction projects vary in size, with the most common contract value ranging from € 1,120,000 to € 4,460,000 (Figure 2)
Summary
Published: 8 January 2021The postulate of sustainable development, whereby meeting the current needs without limiting the capability of future generations to meet their own needs, has become the leading civilization idea all over the world [1]. Sustainable development results from philosophical premises and is a civilization necessity, and one of its main targets is the construction industry, which consumes more than 40% of produced energy, 50% of processed materials and emits 35% of greenhouse gases, ref. Sustainable development refers to the whole life cycle of a building from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction [2]. Do you use schedules in the project/construction process? Who is responsible for developing the schedule?. Obligation imposed by the owner obligation resulting from tender procedures facilitating the work of construction management a tool for synchronizing the work of crews setting terms of employment of subcontractors/crews the basis for the development of delivery plans.
