Exploring Construction Project Costs: A Review of Recent International Literature

Exploring Construction Project Costs: A Review of Recent International Literature

This curated list presents 20 international research articles published in the last decade focusing on construction project costs. These articles, authored by non-Chinese researchers, offer valuable insights into various aspects of cost management in construction, including cost overruns, key performance indicators, success factors, risk management, and the impact of delays.
