- Abstract
- Management of the construction portion of a project is one of the most challengine management assignments in the industrial world. Upon contract award and in a short period of time, the field manager must finalize the preliminary plans developed during the pre-bid or proposal phase, order materials and construction equipment, erect construction support facilities, and recruit and mobilize a construction force. Then, while fighting the vagaries of weather, material deliveries, regulations, local politics, changes, and other intervening factors, the manager must guide the efforts of an unpredictable labor force towards a completion date. Of course, the objective is to complete the project under budget and on schedule while surpassing the quality requirements of the specifications. This publication deals with the cost and schedule control of a construction project. It is based in large part on the research report identified as Reference 1, although the CII Cost-Schedule Task Force has included additional material.
