Paper title: | Linking up versus Breaking down: Demands on Cost Estimating for Turn-key Construction Projects |
Authors: | P Racky |
Summary: | The complete monetary valuation of interfaces between the various building elements or work packages is a substantial success factor for a correct estimate that takes account of all costs of turn-key construction projects. The estimating processes employed by construction contractors often neglect systematic interface analysis what leads to incorrect results. This paper sketches out an interface-oriented estimating approach. This approach will lead to a procedure in which the building elements to be costed are structured in a way that corresponds to their functional logic. As result a linked-up procedure, such as is necessary to cope with complex systems, will be achieved and a complete costing made easier. |
