| Abstract |
Recently, there are a number of building programs for public office. However, most of the projects have experienced budget overrun. The main reason is that public officials are lack of expertise for cost planning in pre-construction stages, especially in feasibility and design stage. Design firms also don’t have systematical cost planning processes. Based on analysis of existing cost estimating model, elemental cost methods of quantity surveyors are considered as the best model to overcome problems presented above. Thus this research suggest cost estimating framework which is based on the elemental cost method. This framework consists of three parts, cost analysis form, cost database and cost estimating model prototype. |
