Low accuracy in the estimation of construction costs at early stages of projects has driven
the research on alternative costing methods that take advantage of computing advances …

Case-based reasoning (CBR) has been widely adopted in construction management (CM)
research due to the similar mind-sets of CBR and CM problem solving. However, to date …

A better understanding of top-down estimating practices and their contribution to budgeting
accuracy allows public transportation agencies to allocate limited construction funds more …

Early decision-making and the prevention of construction safety risks are very important for
the safety, quality, and cost of construction projects. In the field of construction safety risk …

The accurate cost estimate is one of the success keys to construction projects. The influence
of inaccurate cost estimation on construction projects is critical. There is no consensus …

Quality problems are crucial in construction projects since poor quality might lead to delays,
low productivity, and cost overruns. In case preventive actions are absent, a lack of quality …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify factors affecting cost estimate accuracy in
each of five design stages preceding building construction: order of magnitude …

The construction engineering and management (CEM) domain frequently meets complex
tasks due to the unavoidable complicated operation environments and the involvement of …

The applicability and effectiveness of case-based reasoning (CBR) have been
demonstrated in various construction management areas, including bidding, international …

Purpose Quantity Takeoff (QTO) is an integral part of the decision-making process.
Currently, QTO is mostly done using manual or 2D method, and practitioners are …
