  • Abstract:
    Initially, the paper provides an in-depth analysis of the bahaviour of construction project value (expenditure/income) profile. It demonstrates, in quantified terms, that the profile can be expressed in terms of a number of characteristics which are descriptive of the physical shape of the profile. The ananlysis shows that these characteristics fall into general and specific types. To this end, the paper intorduces a general routine for data preparation and processing. In the second part of the paper, within the context of the above analysis, various types and categories of project are analyzed and 78 shape-models are developed. These models facilitate estimation of the specific characteristics of expenditure/income profile for a given project definition. This analysis is carried out at two levels, namely, global and individual project. The research reveals that in some cases the global data, containing the general features of all project categories produce better results than individual category data set. Subsequently, the shape-models have been developed on the basis of their global vs individual project type performance.
