At the heart of every construction project lies the Project Management Triangle, representing:
- Scope (What to deliver) – Defines the quantity, quality, and nature of work.
- Cost (How much it costs) – Encompasses all direct, indirect, and contingency expenses.
- Time (When to deliver) – Determines the project schedule and key milestones.
- Quality (How well it performs) – Ensures that the end result meets owner satisfaction and technical standards.
Maintaining balance among these four components is the cornerstone of project success.
Any change in one inevitably affects the others — for example, expanding scope increases cost and time, while reducing budget may compromise quality.
