2.02 Key concepts & themes

Basic definition of cost modelling “The symbolic representation a system, expressing the

content that system in terms of the factors which influence its costs”. (Ferry et al., 1997)

“A procedure developed to reflect, by means of derived processes, adequately acceptable output for an established series of input data”. (Seeley, 1996)

“Techniques used for forecasting the estimated cost of a proposed construction project”. (Ashworth, 2010)

Definition of Design Cost Management The process of design cost control or cost planning as

previously explained is “design cost management”, the meaning of each individual word being: Design: the process of producing the required model of a

building.

Cost: the amount of money that the client expects to hand over to a builder, usually during and on completion of the building.

Management: the responsibility for ensuring that the functions of planning, control and feedback are successfully brought about in terms of design, cost, time and quality. (Jaggar et al., 2002 )

3.02 Green impacts on cost modelling practice & procedure

3.03 Comparison of Cost modelling

Standard cost modelling provides a guidance on cost for procedure and activity on construction, it take basic information relating to resources, such as labour, plant and raw materials and transform these data into useful information on costs for construction. Similarly green cost modelling has the same affect on costs, however, it’s focused on energy saving and using environmental friendly material for sustainability and long life-cost-cycle. So initial cost might be higher compare to standard cost modelling (alternative solution is possible), but it provides a long term energy cost saving.
