Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze and evaluate the course of diversified construction projects in terms of the generated cost and to indicate the basic reasons for the cost deviations of the works actually performed on the construction site. The analyses – carried out in accordance with the Earned Value Method – allowed for the assessment of actually achieved budgets for various investment tasks. Analogies were observed in the arrangement of the cumulative cash flow curves, both within the same groups of buildings and between them.
