Construction managers plan and control quantitative measures for successful projects. Current techniques for time, budget, and resources are compartmentalized, but should be integrated into a cohesive model. The methodology adapts singularity functions from structural engineering. They activate a dependent variable over a range of an independent variable. Yet their analytical capability had ignored interfaces between measures. Pairwise interactions link quantitative elements and enable a customizable approach that facilitates multi-objective optimization. This research contributes in that models of time, cost, and resources are aligned; interactions are formalized via the common variable time; and the possibility of higher order models is discussed.
