COLLECTION OF CONSTRUCTION COST DATA
Introduction
DMS International, Inc. was requested to assist the World Bank with creating a
method of collecting construction cost data from member countries throughout the world
to assist with economic studies. The task of data collection is a difficult procedure and
can be prone to wide variations. Based upon our experience as construction cost
method based upon a workbook format. Our workbook defines construction line items
and quantities for relativity simple building types. In fact, four building types have been
chosen:
Residential house
Warehouse
Road
Office building
collected and analyzed by the World Bank as part of its overall economic study.
Before we explain further about our workbook format and design, reference must
be made to previous studies and methods of construction cost data collection. One
comprehensive review of past practices has been completed by Dubner and McKenzie 1.
