- Abstract
- All project participants need information to assist them in managing projects. This book describes a process whereby owner, engineer, and construction contractor organizations can use continuous variables (e.g., owner expenditures and construction effort-hours expended) to predict project outcomes from start of detailed design through construction completion. The objective of the Predictive Tools Research Team was to develop a process where project managers can use continuous variables to predict project cost and schedule outcomes from the start of detailed design through construction completion. It is believed that relating these variables (e.g., owner expenditures and construction effort-hours expended) to cost and schedule outcomes can provide an enhanced control tool for project mangers.
