Accuracy in design stage elemental cost planning: an analysis of New Zealand data
Adafin, JK; Wilkinson, S; Rotimi, JOB (Faculty of Environmental Design and Management, Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria, 2015)One aspect of client expenditure management that requires attention is the accuracy in design stage elemental cost planning which is a major concern for construction clients and practitioners in New Zealand. Several ... -
An exploration of theoretical concepts and methods for assessing risk impacts on the variability between design stage elemental cost plan and tender sum
Adafin, J; Wilkinson, S; Rotimi, JOB; Odeyinka, H (Commission of the International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction, 2014)Reliable prediction of final tender sums of building projects from the cost plan has posed challenges for construction industry practitioners in New Zealand, especially Quantity Surveyors. No matter how much care and effort ... -
Client value in procured construction services: New Zealand participants' perspective
Aliakbarlou, S; Wilkinson, S; Costello, SB; Rotimi, JOB (New Zealand Built Environment Research, 2014)Motivation: Due to the lack of a practical evaluation method to assist clients with measuring value in construction services when hiring service providers, there is greater emphasis on price rather than clients’ values. ... -
Comparison between routine construction and post-disaster reconstruction with case studies from New Zealand
Le Masurier, J; Rotimi, J.O.B.; Wilkinson, S (The Association of Researchers in Construction Management (ARCOM), 2006)Legislation that applies to routine construction provides for the safe development of infrastructure, capital improvements and land use, ensuring preservation and environmental protection, however there is often little ... -
Designing for Construction Procurement: An Integrated Decision Support System for Building Information Modelling
Babaeian Jelodar, M; Wilkinson, S; Kalatehjari, R; Zou, Y (Emerald, 2021)Purpose: Many applications of Building Information modelling (BIM) are already integrated into project management processes. However, the construction industry is suffering from poor decision-making, especially during ... -
Risk-contingency fund in the design stage elemental cost planning function: a theoretical exploration
Adafin, J; Wilkinson, S; Rotimi, J.O.B. (Australasian Universities Building Education Association (AUBEA), 2013)Effectiveness of contingency fund management can strongly influence project success as contingency is proportional to the risk present in a project. However, the traditional allocation of a contingency fund in construction ... -
The regulatory framework for effective post-disaster reconstruction in New Zealand
Rotimi, J.O.B.; Le Masurier, J; Wilkinson, S (Information and research for reconstruction (i-Rec), 2006)New Zealand has extensive infrastructure networks and localised, dense urban populations that make it vulnerable to natural disasters. When they occur, the effects can be devastating on the natural and built environment. ...
