Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cost overruns are frequent in the construction industry. They become greater the more the construction project is delayed. In developing countries, this situation is recurring and constitutes a significant financial problem. In a time-overrun context, our objective is to find a method that can enable us to reduce the delay while minimizing the subsequent cost overruns. We thus developed a mathematical model named CCOMTOC (construction cost optimisation model in time-overrun context). The model was tested and results reveal that the reduction of cost overruns is effective. We showed that in a time-overrun context, according to the importance of delay penalties, we obtain two distinct situations. On the basis of the reference cost calculated for a maximum compression of tasks within the normal duration, we note that, for low delay penalties, the total cost after further delays to the estimated completion time decreases as we deviate from the initial completion time. On the other hand, for relatively high delay penalties, the cost first passes by a minimum before increasing regularly during the further delays to the estimated completion time.Key words: time overrun, optimization, linear programming, time skid, delay make-up, cost overrun.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
