Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential technology to mitigate global CO2
emissions from power and industry sectors. Despite the increasing recognition of its …

Abstract Building Information Modeling (BIM) has widely become an effective tool in
engineering and construction fields. It could be used in: generating shop drawings; detecting …

The completion of a bridge construction project within budget is one of the project's key
factors of success. This prerequisite is more likely to be achieved if the cost estimates …

The fate of many construction projects is determined using preliminary project cost
estimates. These estimates play a key role during the conceptual phase of projects; as in …

Preliminary project cost estimates are the first serious estimates made on a project. They
play an important role during the decision-making process, and are the benchmark with …

During the early stages of a project, it is beneficial to have an accurate preliminary estimate
of its cost. One way to make those estimates is by determining the amount of construction …

The approximate construction cost estimation at the planning stage is very important in that it
significantly affects the plan of the construction project regarding its size, budget, and …

Proper life-cycle cost (LCC) estimation of vital transportation network assets, such as road
bridges, is crucial for cost-efficient projects. This study presents a probabilistic framework for …

Abstract Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM) is considered an innovation in bridge
engineering and construction industry. This paper presents a methodology for using BrIM as …

Building actors need accurate estimates in order to efficiently undertake the construction of
buildings. The knowledge of real expected costs of construction works is a necessary …
