Abstract
A construction Project experiences acceleration when the scheduled completion date is unchanged. A Project is accelerated when there is a need for the contractor to complete some portion of the work in less time. The most common reasons a Project is accelerated relate to money. This includes saving money by avoiding delay damages or reducing overhead costs. It also includes making more money by allowing an earlier income from the facility or by freeing the contractor to begin other work. Sometimes, acceleration is required to meet some other need, such as the early use of the facility or a commitment to a user. A Project is accelerated when it is necessary for the Project to complete more quickly than it would otherwise. Most of the time, projects are accelerated because they are behind the required Project completion date. A common method to accelerate a Project is through the addition of more manpower. This comes in many forms, including increasing the daily work hours, increasing the number of workdays, adding additional shifts, increasing the number of workers, or any combination of increased hours, days, shifts, or workers.
