The paper is based on the input data from a road project which is completed few months ago, the raw material for construction purpose was available at different quarries. It means that there was option available to contractor to receive quarry from either ends of road project. The road project is drawn and collected under the CPM network analysis methodology. The object is to find the critical path of the network drawn with CPM technique and to achieve best path for acquiring construction material under predefined quarry locations and distance. The final result is presented with the objective of time reduction in term of days utilized to complete the project. Target is achieve with shorter time requirement as compared to the actual time taken by the project. Economically it is required to save time and money, and to identify the factors which are not taken under consideration by contractors till time.
