The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a process used to schedule and control the most important tasks that must be completed in order for a residential construction project to be successful. CPM helps identify and analyze the tasks that need to be done, determine their order of completion, establish time frames for when they should be completed, and create a timeline for the entire duration of the project. It also allows project managers to identify potential delays or issues so they can be addressed before they cause major disruptions.

CPM is an invaluable technique in ensuring residential construction projects are delivered on time and up to quality standards.
