	On some projects, the client may prioritise time above cost, needing completion of the works as soon as is reasonable. This might be the case for example where there is a fixed deadline (such as the start of a school term), where the client's cash flow is reliant on income generated by the completed project, where there are risks of significant cost changes (on very long projects), where the project is financed by debt, or for emergency works.

−	Fast-track construction is a scheduling technique that can be used to reduce the overall duration of projects by overlapping tasks that on a traditional contract would not be commenced until the previous task was completed. The greatest time saving is often achieved by overlapping the design and construction phases. This is possible by progressively freezing the design an element at a time and then constructing completed elements whilst the design of the rest of the development continues. For example, it may be possible to determine a piling layout and begin construction whilst the design of above ground works continues.	+	Fast-track construction is a scheduling technique that can be used to reduce the overall duration of projects by overlapping tasks that on a traditional contract would not be commenced until the previous task was completed.

	Fast-track construction is typically suited to standard building types with repetitive elements and straight-forward construction processes and is most commonly associated with management contracting and construction management forms of contacting. It requires flexibility, co-ordination and co-operation. The project team should be experienced in the technique so that they can envisage how the project will develop and anticipate risks.
