+### Accurate Budget Vs. Accurate BOM
+
+#### Quote
+
+> [!quote] Joel Jansen [[2026-01-15#2026-01-15 13:27]] (pp.)
+> I'd rather have an accurate budget than an accurate BOM.
+
+#### Context
+
+#### Analysis
+
+It may be counterintuitive to BOM-oriented estimators
+(typical of those with an electrical background),
+but deviating from ~~common practice~~
+to make an assembly "more accurate"
+(read: to make the estimate BOM
+more closely resemble the construction BOM),
+may make the budget _less_ accurate.
+
+The review and adjustment process is based on ~~common practice~~,
+
+Our assemblies do not include screws
+It would be more accurate to the BOM to add them,
+but we budget for that cost in the summary,
+so to do so would be double dipping.
+
+Though not stated as such,
+we budget for takeoff-to-install deviations the same way.
+
+\
+
+An organization's takeoff database
+ought to include exactly what is necessary for takeoff
+at the acceptable level of detail, and nothing else.
+It ought to be assumed by estimators that the previous is true,
+and that acceptable takeoff of any scope
+must be possible with the contents of the database.

-## The Problem with Project Management™
+
+
+
+
+
+%%
+
+This note is distinguished from [[project-management]]
+by referring specifically to doctrine/curriculum,
+especially as documented by [The Project Management Institute](htpps://pmi.org).
+I've opted to humorously style this concept as Project Management™ for clarity.
+That is, "Project management" could never be wrong or even misguided,
+but Project Management™ can (and often is).
+
+This note may include generic criticism,
+but discussion of the applicability (or lack thereof)
+of Project Management™ to construction specifically
+
+## Criticism
 
 The term "Project Management" is deliberately vague,
 in the hope that generalizing the terminology
 maximizes its applicability across industries.
 
-There are many core Project Management™ ideas that have no parallel in construction,
+There are many core Project Management™ ideas
-and there are as many or more critical construction project management problems
+that have no parallel in other industries,
+and industries often have problems of project management
 that Project Management™ doctrine has no good solutions for.
+See [[project-management-tm-for-construction]] for examples.
 
 I would posit that, despite its cross-discipline language,
 Project Management™ practice is only _universally_ applicable
