Road construction planning is a basic and challenging task in the management and execution of construction projects. A good construction plan is the basis for developing the budget and the schedule for a project. A considerable amount of time, money and resources are wasted each year in a road construction industry due to an improper management of construction activities. Time and Cost are the two fundamental parameters in the execution of the road construction. Providing good planning, proper organization, sufficient flow of resources to a road project cannot automatically achieve the desired result. The Primavera P6 software provides a warning mechanism, which can alert the organization about its possible success and failures throughout the project. The main objective of this study is to know the importance of road construction planning with the help of Primavera P6 software. Also put forward measures to the organization for enhancing their project planning skills for similar projects in future. The aim of this review paper is to promote the use of Primavera P6 in construction engineering and help the young engineer or learner to get an idea about the software.
