A major theme park is expanding the existing facility over a five-year period. The design phase will be completed one year after the contract is awarded. Major engineering drawings will be finalized two years after the design contract is awarded and construction will begin three years after the award of the design contract. New, unique ride technology will be used and an estimate will need to be developed to identify these costs that have no historical data.
A cyclical process model was chosen as the basis for total cost management (TCM) because:
A cyclical process model was chosen as the basis for Total Cost Management (TCM) because strategic assets and projects have inherent life cycles. The cyclical nature of TCM allows for continuous improvement and refinement throughout the project's life, from conception through completion, enabling better management of costs over time. This approach is particularly effective for managing complex projects with evolving requirements, as it aligns with the natural progression of project phases and ensures that estimates, budgets, and schedules are updated regularly to reflect current conditions.
