AbstractCash is the most important of all business’s resources.Many construction companies fail not because of technique or skills but the insufficient cash flow management(Singh andLakanathan, 1992; Navon, 1994b). In progress-payment contracts, the contractor is paid for the work performed based on progress reports made at specified intervals. The owner holds back a percentage of the payments until the project arecompleted. The insufficient of time and amount of money contractor receives from client and pay to their supports causes the financial problems. This study provides concepts and tools that can be applicable during the construction phase based on the planned earned value and the actual incurred cost on a project from a general contractor’s viewpoint as the cash flow projection’s role integration to project management. Combining thecash flow and earned value technique, a project can track thereal status of progress, detect any early cost deviation, suggest payment strategy, adjusting the planned schedule and be a factor that affects the scheduling for the coming projects.
