To maximize project value, managers of construction projects must recognize, plan for and strategically manage uncertainty. Current construction planning, estimating, and management practices regarding uncertainty can undervalue projects by failing to exploit opportunities to increase project...

Previous research studies investigating the impact of situational variables on project planning effectiveness have not examined how the situational variables work together to influence planning effectiveness. A structural equation model (SEM) has been developed for describing and quantifying the...

It is generally accepted that the three major dimensions of project success are time, budget, and quality. Most of the research in project planning is focused on the time-cost trade-off, and only a few papers have considered the three dimensions together. This paper describes the evolution of...

В статье рассматриваются принципиальные основы модели системно-синергетического подхода к управлению инновациями в условиях перехода к неоиндустриальной...

A new conceptual construction cost estimating method, namely, Principal Item Ratios Estimating Method (PIREM), is presented. The proposed PIREM integrates several existing conceptual estimating methods (including parametric estimating, ratios estimating, and cost significant model) with advanced...
