RISAnalysis of the Design-Build Delivery Method in Air Force Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The design-build (DB) method for construction project delivery continues to grow in both the private and public sector; additionally, research has shown that the DB method outperforms the design-bid-build (DBB) method. The ...
Discovery of Internal and External Factors Causing Military Construction Cost Premiums
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Each year, the United States invests $30 billion in federal construction. Military construction (MILCON) represents 40% ($12 billion) of that capital investment. This study confirmed the existence of MILCON cost premiums ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The prediction of performance time for construction projects is a problem of interest to both researchers and practitioners. This research seeks to gain insight into the significant factors impacting construction duration ...
Proposed Method for Analyzing Infrastructure Investment Decisions Involving Rapidly Evolving Technology: Case Study of LED Streetlights
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Infrastructure projects have typically involved long-term investments in mature technologies characterized by stable performance and cost. However, with the ever-increasing rate of technological innovation, an increasing ...
Estimation of Cost Contingency for Air Force Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Risk and associated cost overruns are critical problems for construction projects, yet the most common practice for dealing with them is the assignment of an arbitrary flat percentage of the construction budget as a ...
