    The document discusses the project control cycle, which is a model for operating a project management system. It consists of the following steps: 1. Set initial goals such as a profit goal or estimate for the project. This serves as a limiting factor along with the time allowed in the contract. 2. Establish job plans after the job has begun, including schedules, budgets, and procedures. 3. Monitor and control the project by collecting feedback to measure performance, identify deviations, and take corrective actions if needed.

    2.6 The Project Control Cycle

    So far, we have discussed planning, organizing, plus monitoring and controlling, functions
    that are at the heart of the project manager's job. These concepts can serve as a model for
    setting up the specifics of operating our project management system, including our most
    essential toolthe feedback loop (see Figure 1.1). This basic feedback loop does not,
    however, cover all of the details that must be dealt with on an actual project. The Project
    Control Cycle, shown in Figure 1.2 and discussed here, illustrates the practical workings of
    project management.

    Step 1: Set Initial Goals


    The first step in the project control cycle is setting initial goals. This step typically occurs
    before the job is even awarded to the contractor. The initial goal is generally no more than a
    profit goal for the project, in the form of an estimate. Regardless of whether that estimate is
    conceptual or fixed, or something in between, it serves as a limiting factor, along with the
    time allowed in the contract documents. Simply put, no future budget for construction should
    exceed the costs anticipated in the estimate, nor can the time planned in a schedule exceed
    the number of days permitted under the terms of a contract. The detailed development of
    estimates is not within the scope of this book. However, using the estimate and contract
    documents to develop the intermediate goals and job plans is covered in subsequent
    chapters.

    Step 2: Establish Job Plans


    This second step, establishing job plans, typically occurs after the job has gotten under way, and crews and equipment hav
