In order to meet the publicly announced project completion date, a good practice of construction schedule administration is mandatory. To the public agencies that administrate such projects, they will be managing project packages that need to be integrated as a whole. The project packages are very similar in work nature and will be carried out by different contractors with different scheduling practices. Standardization provides a foundation for more efficient and effective schedule integration. However, it is hard to implement considering the number of A/Es and contractors involved. This research proposed a three-stage standardization implementation framework that utilizes the concept of modularization. A set of activity network modules was developed for expressway projects that covered construction of roads, bridges, and tunnels. Two computer systems were also developed to help contractors to use these modules to create the primary part of their schedules, and to help the owner or A/E review contractors’ submitted schedules. The modularization approach with appropriate facilitating software tools also appeared to increase contractors’ level of acceptance to standardization.
