KnowPrice2: Intelligent Cost Estimation for Construction Projects

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 4200)

Abstract

Correct estimation of costs of construction projects is the key to project success. Although mostly established in early project phases with a rather limited set of project data, estimates have to be precise. In this paper, a methodology for improving the quality of estimates is presented in which data from past projects along with other knowledge sources are used. Advantages of this approach as well as challenges are discussed.
