Earned Value Management in Construction Estimating

Cross topic of earned-value-management and construction-estimating.

The construction industry was an early adopter of EVM¹

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).
