PROJECT CONTROLS
Why Project Controls?
“Once a project starts, certain aspects can easily deviate or go astray.
Saleh Mubarak in his 2010 book titled “Construction Project Scheduling
This deviation can be overspending, a schedule slippage, a departure
and Controls “ provides a explanation why:
from the objective/scope, or something else. It is of utmost importance
to know --at all times-- where you stand in relation to where you
planned to be (the baseline). With any deviations you must know why
and take corrective action to get back on track or, at least, minimize
the deviation. Positive deviations show that results were better than
expected. This process exemplifies Project Control. The concept of
project controls covers all aspects of the plan (schedule, budget,
quality, contract and safety).”
