Who approves the PERT-CPM chart?

Owner
Architect
Contractor
Project Engineer

The correct answer is: Architect

The approval of the PERT-CPM (Program Evaluation Review Technique - Critical Path Method) chart is typically the responsibility of the architect. This is because the architect plays a crucial role in overseeing the project's overall design and schedule, ensuring that all components are aligned with project goals and timelines. The architect needs to verify that the project schedule reflects the necessary tasks and is feasible within the constraints of the project's budget, scope, and timeline. Their approval is instrumental in coordinating between the various stakeholders, including the owner, contractor, and project engineer, facilitating effective communication and adherence to the project plan. While other parties like the owner might have input or require visibility on the project schedule, and the contractor may develop the schedule based on the project’s requirements, it is ultimately the architect who validates and approves the PERT-CPM chart to ensure it meets the overall project parameters.
