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 …
