Fast Track Project Management for a Construction Project

Fast track construction is a project delivery system which compresses the design tender construct process into overlapping design and construct phases. The former can be identified as a traditional lump sum tender where plans and specification s are completed then put out to tender. Contractors bid the prject exactly as it is designed with the lowest bidder awarded the work. It is a linear process where one task follows the completion of another with no …showed first 75 words of 590 total…

In a fast tracking program, there is no room for these types of errors. The risk of running over the programmed duration is only multiplied due to possible reasons mentioned above. Fast tracking should only be considered when time is of paramount importance and achieving an earlier completion fate outweighs all of the disadvantages outlined above.
