Previous studies reveal the need for a tool to cost estimation of building design in early design stages. This paper proposes an internal finishes cost model tool to address this need. The tool allows users to evaluate the functionality, economics and quality of finishes concurrently with high-rise building design. Lack of information in the early stages of the project enables a relatively accurate estimates of work to raise up. Measurements are automatically extracted from simple design information and profile driven estimates are revised in real-time. The data model uses a flexible unit rate system that can easily be extended to other estimate dimensions such as mix-use building surcharge rate estimation. The approach illustrated in this paper is applicable to BIM tool conceptual estimation that support for massing purposes other than the one chosen for this study.

Occupational safety and health management cost (OSHMC) is helpful for managing safety in construction sites. However, OSHMC has been criticized for various aspects, including the fact that OSHMC cannot reflect features of individual constructions when counting up and executing OSHMC. This study proposes the approach to distribute OSHMC by project size and activity type with the consideration of accident rates for various activities. Using 1,046 data obtained from Construction Safety Management Integrated Information (CSI), this study calculated the relative risk factors for each activity. The distribution of OSHMC is proposed based on the risk factors. The results were validated by industry expert interviews. The distribution proposed in this study will help construction managers establish and execute OSHMC usage plan effectively.

In the cost management of public construction projects, it is an important issue to develop an adequate cost data for estimating the predetermined amount by various methods. For a long time, a standard of estimation in korea is used as a basis for estimating the predetermined amount of public construction. However, they did not have a reasonable cost data based on a labor and equipment productivity analysis. For this reason, it is difficult to make a reasonable and efficient estimation of the costs, and this situation presents an urgent need for more accurate cost data to use in an early phase. This study analyzed the productivity of form work by the CYCLONE model, and presented the model on the number of optimal labor through sensitivity analysis. This CYCLONE model can be useful in analyzing productivity on the various sizes of form. Also, the regression model to estimate the daily output can be used in predicting the amount of labor. Considering the work duration in the regression model is expected to make the daily output estimation much more accurate.

The purpose of this study is to calculate and compare construction costs for On-Site Construction and Off-Site Construction in Plant Project. For this purpose, the target for calculating the construction cost was limited to the Pipe Rack(Steel Structure and Piping). The results derived according to the purpose of the study are as follows. 1)The direct construction cost for On-Site Pipe Rack construction was KRW 56 billion, with Steel Structure KRW 25.1 billion and Piping KRW 30.8 billion won. 2)Comparing the rate of change between On-Site Construction and Off-Site Construction, material costs increased by 1.9% and expenses by 192.1%, but labor costs decreased by -9.1%, resulting in a total direct construction cost increase of 8.4%. These results can be used as reference data to check the current status of the increase or decrease in construction costs when constructing Pipe Racks as Off-Site Construction.

국가에서는 수해예방 및 주민들의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 다양한 하천사업을 수행한다. 국토교통부의 경우 매년 막대한 예산을 투입하여 하천정비 및 재해복구사업 등을 추진 중에 있으나, 체계적인 공사관리와 산출물의 전산화를 위한 시스템은 부재한 실정이다. 현재 건설사업정보시스템(건설CALS)을 통해 하천공사에 관한 정보를 확인할 수 있으나 총 공사비, 참여업체 등 기본적인 정보만을 제공하고 있으며, 공정관리 및 예산정보에 관한 상세한 내역을 확인 및 관리할 수 있는 기능은 부재하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 하천사업(공사)관리시스템의 필요성을 제시함과 동시에 우선적으로 하천사업 공종 표준화를 수행하고자 한다. 현재 건설공사표준품셈을 통해 건설공사의 공종을 확인할 수 있으나 '제2장 하천공사' 내에는 사석, 돌망태, 하천호안공에 관한 정보만을 담고 있다. 하천공사 공종 표준화를 진행하게 될 경우 공종별 공사 세부정보에 대한 관리가 가능해지며, 현재 하천을 관리 중인 국토교통부, 지방국토관리청 및 지자체 등 하천사업을 수행 중인 기관의 시스템 활용도를 제고할 수 있다. 하천사업 공종표준화를 위해 우선적으로 현재 건설공사표준품셈, 도로대장 전산화 입력지침 등기 수립된 지침 및 기준을 통해 건설토목공사 시의 공종을 조사·분석한 후, 하천공사 준공보고서 및 감리보고서 등 공사 관련 자료를 활용하여 하천공사에 주로 수행되는 공사들에 관한 종류를 도출하였다. 이후 건설토목공사 공종과의 비교·분석을 통해 하천공사에서 주로 수행되는 공종을 도출·표준화하는 작업을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 하천사업 공종의 경우 향후 하천사업(공사)관리시스템 개발에 활용이 가능하며, 하천공사 관리의 효율성을 극대화할 수 있다.

Total conceptual cost estimates and the assessment of the reliability of these estimates are critical in the early stages of a building construction project. The purpose of this study is to propose the method to clients or estimators for improving the reliability of conceptual cost estimates by evaluating the reliability of conceptual cost estimates. The data from 83 building construction projects were collected for this study. The results showed that the proposed method can propose alternatives to clients or estimators for improving the reliability of conceptual cost estimates with the process of evaluation, review and feedback. This process can assist clients in their evaluation of the reliability of the estimated cost and the probability of exceeding the target cost, and in their re-estimation after dealing with the elements that influence the conceptual cost estimate badly.

Cost Estimating allows each entity in a construction project to plan, distribute, and control its required construction cost for the project. However, existing 2D design based estimating has problems, such as inaccuracy and inefficiency caused by missing, duplicated, or erroneous calculations. In this situation, current estimations for school facilities have more difficulties in forecasting construction costs due to an inadequate work breakdown structure for BOQ (Bill of Quantity) and insufficient guidelines for Basis of Estimate. In this study, therefore, an effort was made to increase the efficiency of estimating for school facilities by applying a 3D modeling based BIM tool to quantity and cost estimates. In addition, this study suggested a reasonable work breakdown structure for BOQ that was appropriate when 3D modeling was applied, and verified it through a case study. The authors tried to provide a BIM-based estimating method for school facilities to obtain greater accuracy and efficiency by having more information in an earlier stage.

The importance of the appropriate use and procurement of Safety and Health Expense has been increasing along with the recent increase of construction projects in height, size and complexity. However, the current standards for deducting the Safety and Health Expense have shown limitations in applying the properties and environment of the construction project due to its Safety and Health Expense Rate's classification method. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a prediction model for the Safety and Health Expense that enables the consideration of different environment and properties of construction projects. The study uses multiple regression analysis to analyze the Safety and Health Expense of Ordinary(A) of less than 0.5 billion WON. The research results have shown that the use of multiple regression analysis reduces the error rate to 4.38% which the current standard calculation method have shown 18.48%. Therefore, the use of the suggested model provides reliable Safety and Health Expense prediction values that considers the properties of the project. It is expected that the results of this study contributes to the effective safety management by providing the appropriate amount of Safety and Health Expense to the project. In this study, only projects of less than 5 billion WON have been considered in the analysis. Therefore, more data is required for future studies to suggest an overall Safety and Health Expense predict ion model that covers the whole construction industry.
