+# Earned Value Management in Construction Estimating
+
+Cross topic of [[earned-value-management]] and [[construction-estimating]].
+
+The construction industry was an early adopter of EVM[^1]
+
+[^1]: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earned_value_management)
+
+I am not a fan of EVM as it is commonly used in construction
+since its spurious claims of objectivity
+are accepted without qualification.
+Estimating is systematically absolved of error,
+which is blamed on operations
+(estimate accuracy is not incentivized).
