Estimating construction contingency: Accommodating the potential for cost overruns in road construction projects

© 2014 American Society of Civil Engineers. The determination of a project's cost contingency is a pervasive problem as the amount that is incorporated into an estimate is invariably insufficient to accommodate a project's actual cost overrun. The cost overruns experienced in 49 road const...
