The Equipment Expenses section of the Poom-Saem that is used for Construction Cost Estimation of public sectors in Korea has been rarely revised, and so does not reflect changes of Construction Equipment technology and construction methods, since it was established based on data from Japan and the U.S in the early 1960s. In order to make reasonable estimation of equipment expenses for a bulldozer and a loader, the domestic and overseas documentary records were investigated. Further, 16 construction sites were visited, and 20 Construction Equipment leasing services were surveyed. The optimum level of each item which consists of equipment costs was revealed based on the result of the analysis on the figures of equipment costs calculation from the Poom-Saem and the collected data. The research will be the foundation for applying the rapid development of Construction Equipment and technology to the appropriate cost estimations and the ground work of related studies.

The Equipment Expenses section of the Poom-Saem, that is used for Construction Cost Estimation on public sectors in Korea, has been rarely revised, and so does not reflect changes of construction equipment technology and construction methods, since it was established based on data from Japan and the U.S in the early 1960s. In order to make reasonable estimation of maintenance costs(Interest, Storage, Insurance, Tax), the equipment expenses section of the Poom-Saem and the domestic and overseas documentary records were investigated. Further, 16 construction sites were visited, and 20 Construction Equipment leasing services were surveyed. Based on results from analysing figures related with the estimation of maintenance costs, the maintenance cost is redefined. Then, construction equipment was classified into 6 exclusive construction equipment and general one, and realistic figures of the maintenance cost, which consists of interest, storage, insurance, tax, are suggested respectively. The optimum level of each item which consists of equipment costs was revealed based on the result of the analysis on the figures of equipment costs calculation from the Poom-Saem and the collected data. The research will be the foundation that helps to estimate appropriate construction costs and the ground work of related studies.

Productivity estimation of construction operations is crucial to successful project delivery. Especially in the preconstruction phase, the adequacy and effectiveness of plans directly affect the actual performance of operations. Currently, productivity estimation is conducted by referring to existing references such as the Construction Standard Production Rate. However, it is difficult to promptly apply changing conditions of operations when using such references. Moreover, it is difficult to deduce the optimal combination of construction machinery for the given condition. This paper presents a simple simulation model that can be used to generate productivity data that considers site conditions and construction equipment combination. The suggested method is expected to be used as a decision making assisting tool for practitioners who rely on estimations using the Construction Standard Production Rate when establishing construction plans using heavy machinery such as backhoes, loaders and dumptrucks.

This study aims to find a proper construction cost calculation method by comparing unit prices of cost estimate in landscape construction among other public ordering construction projects. There were 7 out of 12 items from the actual work cost in the first half of 2011 were compared. The 12 items were classified as landscape Architectural construction and the 7 items were the approximate standard. As applied construction types, the comparable 35 items out of the 80 actual work cost items applied to 5 sites were compared to the unit price of the standard quantity per unit in March 2011, which was the approximate standard. Actual construction rate of the 7 items in the category of landscape sector was 104.86% for each item and 92.09% as a total construction cost. The high actual construction rate was caused by the high rate of seed spray depending on the status of applying rocks. However, there were more fundamental reasons for the cost generated from aslope treatment for grass and seed spray. So, it requires more detailed regulations on the modification factors for each soil type, the standard and needs to improve theillogical standard quantity per unit system. Actual construction rate of the 35 items in the applied sectors of civil engineering and architecture was 78.65% for each item and 71.31% (70.17%) as a total construction cost. This shows that actual unit cost cannot reflect actual cost structurally and standard quantity per unit system lacks practicality in terms of construction due to thelabor force. 85.1~91.2 % actual construction rate announced by the Ministry of Land and Maritime Affairs referred to the newly switched items. So the result was estimated as actual construction rate. This requires supplementation after verification in order to make the actual work cost produce at a proper rate. Also, standard quantity per unit system needs complementation with these actual data and so on.

Since the introduction of digital cameras in an aerial-photogrammetry field on 2006, the technological paradigm related to the photogrammetry has been shifting from the analog types to digital types. However, current construction standard cost for the aerial-photogrammetry and the digital mapping are being mixed with analog-based concepts and digital-based methods. In the current standard cost, the monthly weather table is closely related to the calculation of the number of flying days in a taking of aerial photograph. The current monthly weather table uses the results calculated from the observation data of total cloud amount from 1999 to 2007. In this study, the monthly weather table was calculated using the total cloud data during ten years from 2009 to 2018. As a result, the newly calculated number of clear days for 29 stations was analyzed as 44 days decreased by 6 days. The maximum number of clear days decreased in Jinju as 23 days, and the highest decreased clearing days was February.

Standard production unit system and historical cost data are the most typical data base for calculating budget price in construction. However, these construction cost estimation methods are difficult to calculate proper construction cost because definition, additional allowance or modification criteria is not clear in construction within one day. Therefore, this study identifies problems for standard production unit system and historical cost data and suggests the improvements for them. For the objectives, this study analyzes frequency after implementing survey for 44 specialty contractors in placing at kyeonggi-province. As the results of the study, labor costs in standard production unit system and equipment costs in historical cost data and in construction of pavement and maintenance by project type was exceeded at most high rate against construction cost estimation methods. Based on this result, standard production unit system and historical cost data need to be modified by three improvements such as classification by project scale. These will be baseline data for improvement of construction cost estimation methods for less than one day workload.
