| Abstract |
The accuracy of cost estimating is becoming important for cost management and a successful project, because of increasing uncertainty of construction market and decreasing construction order. The purpose of this research is to figure out a plan for improving the accuracy of early cost estimating based on the review of the actual work condition, work process and previous research and the problems of cost estimating work in Korea's construction company.
The major results of this study are summarized as follow :
First, The results of analysing importance index based on cost estimating skills which are usage of project scope description, usage of standard work procedure.
Secondly, But construction companies make little use of these, therefore it is require for them to make use effective management of estimate practices in early construction project phase. Thirdly, Thus, project scope description which provides important information of estimating is not only proposed, but also estimate practice process for improving estimate practice are proposed. We suggest project scope description and procedure model, effective cost estimating in domestic construction condition. |
