- Abstract
- It is control of project time, along with cost and quality, that comprise the basic goals for project management. How important is time? Well, the phrase, "time is of the essence," often found in contract documents of owners, is intended as a strong reminder to the engineer and/or constructor that the time milestones in the project have economic significance for the owner and that the control of time is expected. But, time control is important for the contractor as well since time savings can improve profits and loss of time is costly.
