INTRODUCTION

In different countries in the world the name of the dry wall is different. Dry wall also called Gyprock, Gyp Board or Gypsum board, plaster board, wall board these names reflect that the construction of the wall is dry wall. There is 2 sorts of gypsum wallboard standard and fire-evaluated (or Type X as it's come to be called). A noteworthy normal for gypsum drywall is its capacity to oppose fire.It does this through its substance creation. Gypsum (calcium sulfate) contains artificially consolidated water around half by volume. At the point when presented to flame, the water, because of warmth, halfway changes over to steam, which viably opposes fire. The contrary side of the gypsum board divider stays cool until the point that all water in the gypsum center has been changed over to steam or until the point when the gypsum board itself is ruptured by the flares. The new drywall will be filled with tiny beads of paraffin that would absorb heat during the day, and release it at night. It could be the latest thing in green building technology. This type of construction is suitable and can be applied for all commercial and residential projects, such as: Model houses/ apartment, studio apartments, Residential homes, office building, factories, departmental stores, etc. These are light weight systems – 8 to 10 times lighter than conventional systems like Brick / Block work, comparatively much faster construction, almost – five to eight times faster along with smooth finish, aesthetically beautiful crack free surfaces. Besides the newly mined material, up to 20% of the gypsum used to manufacture drywall can be recycled from waste generated at the manufacturing plant or at construction sites. The content covered in this paper gives a highlight on the overall system of dry wall and the concept has been diverted in the viewpoint of sustainable development and managerial benefits at construction sites

REVIEW STAGE

E. Necessity of the Dry wall:

Deferrals are one of the most concerning issues development firms confront. Deferrals can prompt numerous negative impacts, for example, claims amongst proprietors and temporary workers, expanded costs, loss of profitability and income, and contract end. F. Delay Causes: (1) Contractor‘s improper planning. (2) Contractor‘s poor site management (3) Inadequate contractor experience (4) Inadequate client‘s finance and payments for completed work (5) Problems with subcontractors (6) Shortage in material (7) Labor supply (10) Mistakes during the construction stage. Six main effects of delay were: (1) Time overrun, (2) Cost overrun, (3) Disputes, (4) Arbitration, (5) Litigation, and (6) Total abandonment.

VII. About Microsoft Project:

Microsoft Project is a project management software program developed and sold by Microsoft, which is designed to assist a project manager in developing a plan, assigning resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing the budget, and analyzing workloads. Project creates budgets based on assignment work and resource cost. As resources are assigned to the task and the program calculates the cost equal to the work times the rate, which rolls up to the task level and then to any summary tasks level and finally to the project level. Resource definitions (Labour, equipment and materials) can be shared between projects using a shared resource pond. Each resource can have its individual calendar, which defines what days and time is resource present. Resource rates are used to calculate resource assignment costs. Each resource and each task can be assigned numerous resources.

VIII. Study Case :

In order to get the clear view of difference between the traditional way of Project Management and Modern way of managing the project with the help of software called as Microsoft Project the actual example was taken from the Construction organization in Pune, India that uses that uses the Microsoft Excel for the Scheduling and Execution of the project.

IX. Interview:

The interview was arranged with the Senior Engineer and Project Coordinator of the respective Construction Organization in Pune, India to identify the Problem they had occurred during the actual execution of the project like Duration, Resource Over allocation, Labour fatigue due to overtime of the work, reaching of threshold limit due to working of Labour during holidays etc. Also to know the arrangement of activities they had used while executing a building project.

X. Data Collection:

Data like the Activities Starting Date, Finish Date, Duration of Activities and their Delays, Relationship of Activities and task, Amount of Resources used for the Activities etc. was collected from the Construction Organization of Pune, India to analogize the data and make the data use in the Microsoft Project with the proper changes were made XI. Data Analysis: The main activities from the data collected from organization was divided into sub activities for the proper functioning of the project and identification of the Parallel activities, Slacks and crushing of Non-Critical activities was recognized from the given data and appropriate alterations were made to meet the goals of the research.

XII. Analytical Facts And Results:

Scheduling technique using network models with the help of Microsoft Project, it‘s easily to understand and visualize the flow and network of the project. One can easily see the Critical Path which is the Longest Path of the Project, Parallel Activities, Slack which is also called as Total Float of the Activity can be visualized, Relation between activities is understood by networking. Owing to this there are

XIII. Ease of work for Labour:

By providing all the governmental holidays of India workers, it makes good environment for Labour to work in the organization. While on other hand, making workers to work for fix timing 9AM to 6PM with one hour of break helps stress free surrounding for workers which makes them willingly work on the field.

XIV. Block Work:

As per the project co-coordinator and site engineer from the oxford golf resort, the approximate conventional construction technique (Bock work) project scheduling, project planning and other necessary details gathered from the expertise and interviews and from internet.

are as shown in figure. By using the Microsoft Project software the project planning and execution of the project will be solve by MSP. With both the techniques 1) Dry wall and 2) Block work

1) We have already developed a new recycling system for high water content mud such as construction sludge by using paper debris (fragments of the newspaper) to increase the recycling rate of the construction sludge. However, recently, the price of old newspaper is increasing. Therefore, development of inexpensive fiber materials are strongly desired in order to reduce the recycling cost. In this study, the applicability of waste gypsum board paper instead of paper debris was experimentally investigated. The waste gypsum board paper was crushed by the hammer mill and crushed paper was used in fiber-cement-stabilized-soil method. It was found through the unconfined compression tests that the failure strength and failure strain of modified soils by using crushed board paper are almost the same as those of modified soils by using paper debris.

XVIII. CONCLUSION

1. In the preliminary analysis the drywall gives progress of work as per the schedule and there is no delay in the construction work for completion of work with less dead load as compare to brick work with minimum wastage and superior smooth finishing is achieved. 2. This technique gives faster construction that is 3 to 4 times masonry construction. 3. It reduces dead load of structure it gives 8 to 10 times lighter than masonry work. 4. It gives use of recyclable material which is made of environment friendly material. 5. It gives smooth finishing seamless & crack free surface, allowing ease of decoration via paint, tiles or wallpapers.
