Project management
Billing dates, change orders, and notices, written as standards that work without anyone chasing them.
Where this step fits
Courses for the people running the jobs
The standards in this step tell a project manager what to do. These teach the why underneath them. They are run by SPM The Construction CFO, which is a separate company to this one, and they open on its own school.

What owners ask
What is the project management step?
Billing dates, change orders, and notices, written as standards that work without anyone chasing them. It's step 06 of 8 in CONTROL, drawn from chapter 6.
Does the order make a difference?
Yes. This step depends on estimating system, so installing it first produces numbers the field won't trust.
What does it change downstream?
It feeds monthly cadence, standards and accountability. A change here moves every one of those.
What fails if I skip step 06?
2 later steps read from it: 07, monthly cadence, 08, standards and accountability. Skip it and those run on numbers that were never established, so the output looks finished and isn't.
Where does step 06 fit in the sequence?
Position 6 of 8 once the dependencies are resolved. It waits on 04. 2 steps wait on it. Most owners install all 8 inside 60 days.
