N2  - ABSTRACT:  The study made an assessment on the application of computerized resource leveling usage among the Metro Manila contractors who were chosen at random. Ten Class AAA were interviewed personally, two of which were analyzed closer for an in-depth study on their computerized resource leveling practices; and forty-one respondents from Classes AA, A, B, C, D, and Trade sent with questionnaires.  The assessed impact of using computerized resource leveling are: faster bid and management tools preparation; lesser staff during bidding and implementation; less overhead; more profit; and more accurate results.  The decision to adopt resource leveling as a management tool is subjective in nature. It depends upon the orientation, goals, and targets and levels of experiences of the contractor.  The company's length of business experience, its seriousness in project management, and the type of contract it enters into affect a company's level of resource leveling experience.  Likewise, a company's adoption of computerized resource leveling depends upon its priorities towards expansion and automation, its level of experience in manual leveling and the urgency of its need for computerization.  For contractors. The lower categories: AA, A, B, C, D and Trade should learn how to apply resource leveling, not only for efficiency and economy in project management, but as a preparatory step towards their future growth and expansion. The Classes AA and A should gradually adopt computerized resource leveling as a transition period from their present trend of activities to more complex ones.  To Construction Industry Authorities.  A study of the firms' performance assessed in terms of quality, schedule and cost as related to their application of resource leveling should be done.  To Software Developers.  The development of local softwares in resource leveling, based upon local site conditions which might affect the process of resource leveling, not carefully treated among foreign softwares
