Construction projects are fraught with risks from cost or other overruns to accidents along with other issues. This is true whether the relevant organization is an owner, general contractor, CM, specialty-trade contractor, or other entity. When cost issues or other issues confront arise, how should an organization proceed whether attempting to gain additional compensation in terms of cost/other damages or protecting the same against such claims if they do not appear to be warranted? Enter construction cost forensics. This presentation will focus on strategies/techniques with construction cost forensics in these areas in order to be successful. Covered techniques include those to develop and analyze claims including fundamental construction cost analysis techniques. When an unexpected event disrupts a construction project, using sound analytical methods to identify the cause and quantify the extent of the issue will be important for negotiating a fair result or for obtaining a successful outcome in arbitration or litigation. Key examples of uncovering issues via construction cost forensics will be covered in this presentation.

Despite the government 's efforts to reduce constructional disasters, it has been pointed out that the safety management cost of the Construction Technology Promotion Act does not reflect the actual site. Therefore, it is necessary to study the proper guideline of the safety management cost which can be used as the most fundamental measure to prevent construction accidents. Moreover for the securement of the reasonable safety management costs, it is important to calculate its appropriate rate. Thus, in this study, the appropriate rate of safety management cost was proposed by the construction cost & type based on the 111 execution plans of safety management cost, and the rate is analyzed to be 1/10 of the occupational safety and health management cost. The results of this study will be a guideline in improvement to the proper schedule rating system improvement and in implement of pilot projects.

Project cost is an important concern in any construction project. Although there has been a lot of studies on factors affecting the cost of construction projects, there seems no consensus as what cost factors have direct influence on the cost of civil engineering projects. This study therefore aims to bridge the current knowledge gap by examining quantity surveyors' perception of the factor structure among nineteen costing attributes identified based on literature review. Questionnaire was used to elicit responses from quantity surveyors working in the Hong Kong construction industry. Principal component analysis is conducted to extract the factor structure of the cost attributes and the attributes are grouped into three factor components, namely the contract management factor, the project management factor and the monetary value factor. Understanding these cost impact factors could be crucial in managing civil engineering projects, since it allows the project stakeholders and quantity surveyors to take precautionary steps to identify the cost management problems and areas for improvement and could even help to avoid cost deviations in engineering projects.

The demands for large-scale construction projects such as Mega-projects are largely increasing due to the rapid growth of increasing populations as well as the need to replace existing buildings and infrastructure. Increasing costs of materials, supplies, and labors require the first cost estimates at the preliminary planning stage to be as accurate as possible. This paper presents the results obtained from the survey on evaluating nine critical success factors that influence the accurate first cost estimates for large-scale projects from practical experiences. It then examines the current cost structures of construction companies for large-scale projects, followed by the causes for cost and schedule overrun. Twenty completed surveys were collected and the Analytic Hierarchy Process was applied to analyze the data. The results indicate that technology issues, the contract type, and social and environmental impacts are the significant leading factors for accurate first cost estimates of large-scale construction projects.

정부 재정지출의 효율성 제고를 위해 도입된 총사업비관리제도는 그간 대형 신규 공공투자사업 추진 시 적정한 절차를 순차적으로 거치도록 의무화하고, 총사업비 증가율을 억제하는 등 일부 성과가 있었다. 도입 18년이 지난 시점에서 공공건설사업의 사업비 관리의 근간이 되는 총사업비관리제도에 대한 적용 실태 및 제반 운영에 대한 사업참여자들의 인식을 조사하고, 설문을 통하여 운영상의 문제점을 도출하여 이에 대한 개선방안을 제시하였다. 기본적으로 공공건설사업의 사업비 관리는 사업 초기 단계에 예산을 정확히 산정하고, 후속 단계에서 이를 지키려는 노력을 시행하며, 확정된 예산에 가장 부합하는 사업의 가치 확보라는 개념에 입각해서 계획하고 관리하여야 한다. 공공건설사업의 총사업비관리의 체계화하고, 담당자의 전문성을 제고하는 한편 발주처의 자율성을 확대하여야한다. 무엇보다도 총사업비관리 대상사업의 적기 준공을 유도하여 사업기간 지연으로 인한 총사업비의 증액을 방지 할 수 있는 여건 조성이 필요하다.

Most of studies on PC method aim at the structural analysis and development of PC members, and studies on the construction management aspect are insufficient. Therefore, this study tries to investigate 'hallow PC column composite method(HPC composite method)' from the viewpoint of construction management and analyze the construction cost of the composite method. On the assumption that each comparative method was applied to the zone, the difference in construction cost between the two methods was analyzed. As a result, HPC composite method increased the initial investment cost because of its factor technology, but reduced transport cost, lifting cost, and installation cost through lightweight columns. This study analyzed only the difference in construction cost of HPC composite method so that it has the limitation in evaluating its economy. Therefore, to evaluate the economy of HPC composite method, it is considered to research more the construction cost of HPC composite method.

Urban renewal projects, in the form of mega-projects, are being actively implemented both nationally and internationally to revitalize inactive cities. These programs, however, are difficult to manage efficiently due to their need for a large budget over a long period of time and due to conflicts with stockholders. Moreover, existing cost and duration management systems are structured with emphasis on the design and construction stage of unit projects, thus limiting their application to long-term mega-projects that are integrated with various facilities. To solve these problems, this study developed a web-based system that can collectively manage the cost and duration of mega-projects at a program level. The unit modules included in the system--CBS organization, construction cost and duration prediction, and total cost and duration prediction--can support decision-making at the early stage of the program. Furthermore, the modules, which include contract management, execution management, change management, and program progress management, support the program operations for its successful accomplishment. The web-based cost and duration management system developed in this study is expected to be used as a valuable tool that supports the successful accomplishment of mega-projects through their efficient management throughout their life cycle.

Construction Cost Indices are values for measuring fluctuations in direct construction costs which include material costs, labor costs, and equipment costs for construction operations. In Korea, Korea Institute of Construction Technology (KICT) has been assessing and announcing these indices since January, 2004. The main goals of this paper are to look over the calculation process for those indices and then present the trend in construction costs according to the types of facilities with the past construction cost index data. Also, this paper traces the origin of the occurrence of significant changes on those indices through the further analysis of the trend. In addition, this paper shows the practicality of the indices and the way how to put them to practical use. An alternative estimate method using the indices is suggested for compensating the changes of construction costs caused by price fluctuations.

본 연구의 목적은 건설현장을 대상으로 환경오염방지시설의 설치 및 환경보전비의 운용 실태를 파악하고, 제도 개선 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 192개 건설현장을 대상으로 조사한 결과, 총 공사비 대비 환경보전비의 계상 비율은 0.59%, 그리고 실제 소요 비용은 총 공사비의 0.94% 수준으로 나타났다. 공사 규모나 현장 입지 조건 등에 따라 유의할 만한 차이점은 없었다. 환경보전비 계상 방식을 보면, 표준품셈 등에 의한 원가 계산 방식 33.6%, 총 공사비 대비 일정 요율 적용 33.7%, 미계상 14%로 나타났다. 건설현장에 설치된 환경오염방지시설을 보면, 소음 진동방지시설보다는 세륜기 방진망 등과 같은 대기 오염방지시설에 대한 투자가 더욱 높았다. 총 공사비와 환경보전비의 상관성은 r2값이 0.23 수준으로 매우 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 환경보전비 계상 방식으로는 일정 요율에 의한 방식보다는 원가 계산 방식이 확대될 필요성이 있다. 이를 위하여는 공사 종별로 설계 적산 단계에서 필수적으로 검토해야 할 환경오염방지설비에 대하여 법적인 기준을 마련하고, 시설별로 적산 기준의 제정 보급이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
