Time - Cost Relationships for Superstructure Projects in Turkey

Öz

The concept of time-cost relationship in construction projects was first introduced by Bromilow. Bromilow used the data of the superstructure projects completed in Australia in the creation of the proposed time-cost model (BTC model). The aim of this study is to determine the time-cost relationship of superstructure projects in Turkey. Time and cost data of superstructure projects completed between the years of 1999-2018 was used in the study. Data was grouped primarily on the basis of the intended use of buildings (individual buildings, educational buildings, hospitals, industrial buildings and social housing), and then time-cost relationships were separately determined for each group. In addition, the effects of the parameters such as exchange rates and the number of non-working days on the time-cost relationship were investigated statistically.
