Monitoring and Forecasting in Construction Projects Using Time Buffer
Abstract: The key to project management is effective performance monitoring and forecasting. The existing methods using input- output cash flow, earned value, etc. do not differentiate between work done on the critical path and work done on non-critical paths. Such methods mask the real situation and mislead the project team because progress on one path often compensate for the delay in other. The paper proposes a more effective method to facilitate …

Quality–Cost Trade Off (QCT) Based Bidding Strategy
Abstract: As the projects have become more versatile and complex, the procurement approaches also get diversified. In traditional price-dominated lowest bid (LB) procurement, contractor selection based on tender price is risky and may lead to failure of the project in terms of poor quality and delay in time. Quality–Cost trade off (QCT) based performance of contractor takes into consideration not only price but also quality. This paper presents a case study …

Economic Sustainability of Transportation Infrastructure Procurement: The Differing Site Condition Clause Debate as an Underlying Environmental Trigger to Cost Overruns
Abstract: Case law is rife with contractual disputes arising due to lack of adequate geotechnical risk containment during procurement. The use of a ‘Differing Site Conditions (DSC) clause’, implies that, in the event of encountering a subsurface/geo-environmental condition different from that which was indicated in the contract, the owner bears the additional cost for executing the work under such conditions. However, the literature indicates a divergence in industry practise, with some …
