# 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).
