Cost Engineering Process Industry 05-01-2016 | Publicatie Auteur: Nicolas Alexander Hall , Sarah Delille Cost estimation is an integrated activity in all development projects; in fact it's an important factor in all project phases up to sanction. In early phase concept selection for example, it contributes to deciding if a Spar should be chosen instead of a TLP or a Semi. Then for each next phase of the project, a cost estimate is developed or updated to ensure that the project is still economically viable to then give the green light to management to continue to the next phase of the project. For this purpose and for many years, companies have developed powerful cost estimation tools and breakdown structures to ensure good cost predictability.

Cost Engineering Process Industry 05-01-2016 | Publicatie Auteur: Teoh Wooi Sin, Nancy Lim Yu Ying In 2006, the Singapore government revealed its 1st Green Building Master Plan outlining its plan to promote environmental sustainability. The Building and Construction Authority is tasked to lead the construction industry towards this goal. Apart from setting up the framework to encourage the local players to construct sustainable buildings, BCA also took the initiative to construct the first Zero Energy Building in Singapore as a showcase for the local construction industry to learn and study. Besides consuming zero energy, this building also incorporates the latest state of the art technologies, e.g. stacked assisted solar chimney system and personalised ventilation system, into the building for further test-bedding purpose. Hence, given its technical complexity and as a first in Singapore, the process of realising this project has its challenges. This paper highlights these challenges and some of the lessons learnt from the construction of this Zero Energy Building.

Cost Engineering High Complexity Buildings 27-12-2015 | Publicatie Auteur: Bent Flyvbjerg, Mette Skamris Holm, and Søren Buhl This article presents results from the first statistically significant study of cost escalation in transportation infrastructure projects. Based on a sample of 258 transportation infrastructure projects worth US$90 billion and representing different project types, geographical regions, and historical periods, it is found with overwhelming statistical significance that the cost estimates used to decide whether such projects should be built are highly and systematically misleading. Underestimation cannot be explained by error and is best explained by strategic misrepresentation, that is, lying. The policy implications are clear: legislators, administrators, investors, media representatives, and members of the public who value honest numbers should not trust cost estimates and cost-benefit analyses produced by project promoters and their analysts.
