Time-Cost Trade-off and Constraint Resource Scheduling Considering Overtime for Activity Expedition
Abstract: Project cost, duration and resources are three important parameters of a construction project. There is always a trade-off between project time and cost. While a lot of techniques are available to optimize the project time and cost in normal conditions, less effort is done to optimize them in a resource constraint conditions. This paper is focusing on a nonlinear integer framework for time-cost trade-off (TCT) and constraint resource scheduling (RCS) …

An Empirical Analysis of Cost, Time, and Quality Relationships Using Correlation and Regression Techniques
Abstract: Cost, time, and quality have been recognized as the three key dimensions that determine construction project performance and are commonly represented through the "Project Management Triangle." However, despite their theoretical linkage, there is limited empirical evidence to quantify the nature of their relationships, particularly within developing construction markets. This paper seeks to contribute to addressing this shortfall by investigating the specific influence of cost and schedule variations upon quality outcomes …
