- Abstract
- One of the most important challenges facing engineering and construction management today is the prevention of cost and schedule overruns of the type that have plagued major projects so often in the past. The multiple parties involved in a project (owner, engineer, construction manager, contractors, and subcontractors), the complexities inherent in a project, the pressure of time, increasing regulatory requirements, inflating costs of material and labor, and the uncertainties of nature combine to make major engineered construction a management nightmare. Obviously a project must have a formal project control system if there is to be success, and that system must encompass the engineering effort.
