  • In recent years, cost overrun is become a common problem in the construction industry. Most cost systems often underestimate cost overruns until of a project when there is little that can be done to control the situation. Many factors are necessarily to consider in forecasting cost overruns. Factors such as weather, productivity, material, equipment and management quality are identified escalating cost for the construction projects.
    This research proposes a model for predicting cost overrun probability based on the factors that affecting cost escalating. The model assumes a Poisson arrival pattern for cost overrun events occurrence. Real-time Bayesian analysis (particle filter algorithm) is used to run the simulation. Moreover, this research describes the concept of factor combination and sensitivity analysis in order to know most influence factor to cost overrun. The output of the model is presented numerically, providing the early warning of cost overruns to the project manager of the project.
