Scheduling is done taken into consideration various aspects such as soil conditions, design aspects, management aspects, manpower, tools etc. The entire scheduling is done using MS-PROJECT 2010 and the detailed reports are presented using MS-OFFICE. This dissertation work is an attempt to show the importance of Planning, Scheduling and the best construction techniques and sequencing employed to enable the contractors and engineers to effectively and economically plan the sequence of various activities and properly allocate the manpower to complete the work as per schedule keeping Quality in control. Every project is unique in terms of its nature, complexity, scope and type. To make a project successful all the 10 knowledge areas of PMBOK shall be performed. The need for study of risk management is important in India because it is less aware and its application in a project is unknown to many project managers. A good risk management avoids potential risks in the project and helps to achieve project objectives in a better way. Even though risk occur at regular interval and uncertain it can be managed; a prior risk management helps to start a project in a positive note and will keep the project team ready to face the upcoming risk and respond to them. The repetitive studies on risk management will spread awareness and keep us updated on new risk management checklist and questionnaire survey techniques.
