The purpose of this research is to develop a conceptual model and prototype that establishes a new approach for building cost estimating in the schematic design phage. This research use the method that analyzes quantity and unit price separately to enhance schematic cost estimating through conducting literature review andi analyzing existing schematic cost estimating methods. In addition, this study proposes tile concept of cost breakdown structure including two more classifications: building element and floor compared to existing one only classified by trade. Thus, a Quantity Based Active Schematic cost Estimating(Q-BASE) model is developed founded on those two concepts. By applying proposed schematic cost estimating model, historical structure cost of residential complex building project is analyzed, and then, based on this analysis, prototype is implemented.

Previous studies reveal the need for a tool to cost estimation of building design in early design stages. This paper proposes an internal finishes cost model tool to address this need. The tool allows users to evaluate the functionality, economics and quality of finishes concurrently with high-rise building design. Lack of information in the early stages of the project enables a relatively accurate estimates of work to raise up. Measurements are automatically extracted from simple design information and profile driven estimates are revised in real-time. The data model uses a flexible unit rate system that can easily be extended to other estimate dimensions such as mix-use building surcharge rate estimation. The approach illustrated in this paper is applicable to BIM tool conceptual estimation that support for massing purposes other than the one chosen for this study.

On March, 2013, the Government announced the Multiple Prime Contract method will be expanded in public building construction projects. The applying multiple prime contract method has been immersing issue among all stakeholders of construction project. The owner conducts the role of a general contactor as well as owner's original responsibility while construction works being executed by specialty contractors. If the owner has not experience of project management, it should be bring about increasing management cost due to the interface problems among prime contractors. With this reason, it is difficult to administrate the multiple prime contract. So far there has been no methodology of predicting management cost in the multiple prime contract. Therefore, this study aims to enable the operation of efficient multiple prime contracts by developing a model to predict their management costs.

From $1960^{th}$ Korean construction industry has been rapidly grown due to Meddle-East construction market growth. To earn foreign currency and to raise overall Korean industry government has encouraged construction frontiers. As construction industry could grow up for its labour based originity but the time passes by and overseas construction market requests engineering know-how and technology for productivity to earn more profit. Over last 20 years overseas construction market share has been dramatically raised but its profit share is gradually declining. This study analyzed data sets of over 180 overseas construction projects for last 30 years of domestic contractor by using multiple-regression analysis and derived an output how input variables of characters explaining the construction project effects its profit.

Since the year of 2003, the overseas plant market has grown by an average of 6% per year. It is because of the increase of oil-money, economic growth of BRICs, and the result of heavy competition among the countries which demands a great amount of resources for the purpose of resource securing. Such a situation is expected to be continued for a while. The procurement is one of critical functions for successful completion of a plant project. For effective procurement, it is required to manage vendor's information efficiently. But most of the vendor management systems deal with simple general information and performance data about vendors. In this sense, this paper proposes a vendor management system which can be used within a decision-making system. The system uses existing DB and makes the close relationship with the vendors. This paper will also reduce risks and difficulties in the process of selecting the proper vendors and will increase efficiency of procurement process in electronic bidding between companies.

환경기초시설에 대한 투자가 우리나라 총 환경관련 예산의 80%이상을 차지하고 있다는 사실에서도 알 수 있듯이, 수질 폐기물의 관리를 위한 기초시설의 건립과 운영은 환경정책의 가장 중요한 부분인 동시에 대규모의 재원을 필요로 하는 사업이며, 따라서 비용극소화를 위한 많은 노력이 요구된다. 환경기초시설의 설치 운영에 소용되는 비용은 크게 두 부류로 나누어지는데, 설치비와 운영비에는 규모의 경제가 있어서 규모가 큰 시설일수록 평균비용이 감소하는 반면, 수거운반비와 보상비는 규모가 큰 시설일수록 평균비용이 증가한다. 따라서 총비용은 시설규모의 U자형 함수가 될 것이며, 이 논문의 목적은 각 비용요소를 계량화하여 환경기초시설의 적정규모, 즉 총비용을 극소화시키는 시설규모를 도출하기 위한 모형을 제시하는 것이다. 이 논문에서 제시한 모형은 수학적으로 단순하여 현실 문제에 쉽게 적용할 수 있으며, 간단한 컴퓨터 프로그램을 통하여 적정규모를 계산하고 비용분석을 할 수 있다. 이 모형을 우리나라의 소각시설에 적용한 결과 다음과 같은 정책적 시사점들을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 생활폐기물의 수거운반비가 1,500원/톤/km이고 가구들이 폐기물 관리지역내에 고르게 분포되어 있다고 가정할 때에 총소각비용을 최소화하기 위해서는 약 23만 가구당 처리용량이 830톤/일인 소각장을 설치 운영하여야 하며, 이때에 폐기물 단위당 처리비용은 약 100원/kg이다. 둘째, 가구당 폐기물발생량과 인구밀도의 지역간 차이로 인하여 적정규모 역시 지역간 차이가 있으며, 우리나라에서는 도시지역일수록 규모가 큰 시설이 효율적이다. 셋째, 폐기물 처리사업은 오염의 원인과 수익의 주체가 분명하므로 처리에 소요되는 비용은 가계가 부담하여야 하며, 이를 위하여 현재의 쓰레기봉투가격을 인상하여야 한다. 넷째, 현재 폐기물 처리시설의 설치 운영이 공공부문에 의하여 이루어지고 있어 이를 민영화하는 것이 바람직한데, 그 이유는 환경기초시설의 적정규모를 도출함에 있어 핵심사항인 비용에 관한 정보를 관련 분야의 민간부문이 더 많이 가지고 있을 가능성이 높으며, 입찰을 통하여 사업자를 선정할 경우 가장 효율적인 기업에 의한 설치 운영이 가능하기 때문이다. 이를 위하여 쓰레기봉투가격의 인상과 함께, 폐기물의 처리가 행정구역에 연계되어 이루어지고 있는 현재의 제도 역시 폐지되어야 한다.

Recently, In Korea Electric power Corporation guarantee free using, which separate a class of electric supply with a group of generates electricity and supply, so a market price is decided by demand and supply that take part in a tender. In this treatise predict about demand of power by abstracting a pattern cause it (temperature and economic growth). Also it proposes market price of the best electricity power generation with predicted data that is made database and is showed by Web. The proposed system is increased satisfaction of consumer through smoothness of power supply and demand that rises competitiveness through exactly estimated demand at power supply and demand and supply market will open the future. Moreover consumers can reduce expenses of basic charge. Because they beforehand predict and analyze a mount of power spending with former times so a provider concludes the lowest price and reduction effect of basic charge that needed producing of power.

Occasionally an owner of public construction work pays financial costs in addition to progress payments. However, the overall scale of financial costs are not known. This research examines, based on a case study, the financial cost incurred in public construction works and the following issues: the overall scale of financial costs, the impact on financial costs on the owner, and the impact of timing on the overall sum of the financial costs. Annually, more than 2.3 trillion KRW are paid as progress payments for public construction work; yet, there is no research data showing the scale of financial costs thus incurred. The purpose of this research is to illustrate the scale of financial costs incurred due to progress payments for public construction works, and to suggest alternatives that would improve relevant regulations.
