The study began with a detailed review of CMP content and structure to identify standardized elements and key characteristics of CMP projects, including conflict categorization and quantification. Using the compiled data, the team analyzed trends in change orders before and after CMP implementation to assess their impact on project performance, particularly in terms of cost increases and time adjustments from change orders. Advanced statistical methods were then applied to examine correlations between CMP-related variables and change orders, along with other factors influencing project performance. Based on these findings, the research team developed practical, data-driven recommendations to enhance the preparation, review, and use of CMPs as a proactive tool for conflict clearance management.
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Construction Management Plans (CMPs). To achieve this goal, data from TxDOT highway projects was colle
