Scheduling for construction projects is different than Manufacturing. The Structnet's system of "Structured scheduling" has been highly developed to produce a comprehensive product for all stack holders in the project.
A multi story building is engineered from the top floor down. The floor below has to support all of the floors above it. This includes the structural mass, the supplied utilities and the waste material. Thus the bottom floor has to support the sum of mass & utilities above it. Furthermore most multi story buildings are scheduled in phases; Core then tenant improvements.
A simple one or two story building or house
A construction project is rarely built in modules like manufacturing yet it dose happen. More often if built from the ground up and from the outside in.
