Summary

Monitoring costs for construction projects represents a challenge not only for contractors but for project managers as well. The challenge results from the fact that source problems affecting construction cost are complex to be identified and managed in detail. A comprehensive mathematical cost control model for construction projects is presented in this paper. The first goal of this paper is to introduce detailed cost variances to identify the deviation from budget. Such variances are useful in highlighting and identifying the deviation causes. Accordingly, tacking the appropriate corrective actions can be clearly specified. The other goal is to visualize the output of the proposed control model using techniques employing geographic information systems (GIS). The current research introduces an automated integration with GIS to visualize construction project cost control to make it easy to track by project decision makers.
