This paper addresses the gap in the scientific literature regarding construction cost
estimates for the construction of underground metro stations. It provides preliminary cost …

Following manufacturing, construction is the industry that is responsible for the majority of
work-related accidents due to the complexity and uniqueness of each construction site. The …

State Highway Agencies (SHAs) and Departments of Transportation (DOTs) allocate their
limited resources to thousands of competing projects in multi-year transportation programs …

Machine learning plays a vital role in construction estimation which could make improve the
project's safety, and reliability. Many studies have been proposed to explore the potential …

Amidst a global discourse on energy resources, it is imperative to provide decision makers

Abstract The Ministry of Education (MOE) of Taiwan invests about NTD 30 billion a year in
Public School Building Projects (PSBPs). However, 95% of the PSBPs have been extended …

Raising the final contract cost (FCC) is a significant risk for project owners. This study
hypothesizes that the factors that cause owner's cost estimation (OCE) accuracy and FCC …

A preliminary estimation of construction costs is a crucial operation of any project related to
civil engineering. An accurate estimation ensures a proper management of the available …

Previous studies developed models to predict final construction cost (FCC) values based on
many inputs, which makes them difficult to use. However, relying on models with relatively …

Several roundabout capacity methods and approaches have been proposed until now. They
are mainly based either on regression equations of observed capacity and gap acceptance …
