plans and specifications are developed.
M. BUILD:
Construction continues as architectural work

N,
BUILD: Completion in most cases
occurs earlier than possible with
traditional methods, due to
"fast-track" construction. the
result: significant savings in time and
cost.

Time/activity factors are not rendered to scale, but are
representative of overlapping construction phases. |
