Risk Based Estimation in Construction Projects
Abstract: Final cost of a project is always subjected to many variables and assumptions. A single value estimate only represents one of the many possible conditions that can arise in the future. Hence a cost estimate should be represented as a range of values rather than a single value. Construction projects are complex project which involve many uncertainties. Uncertainties in activities can be a threat to the project objective or an …
