ABSTRACT
Construction industry could be considered as a very important sector
for development all over the World and the construction cost is the
most important element in it. The construction project can vary from
extremely profitable to barely worth it and sometimes end up costing
the contractor more than what he or she is getting paid to complete it.
In construction industry the aim of project control is to ensure the
projects finish on time, within budget and achieving other project
activities. Time and cost are two main concerns which increase
importance of cost reduction techniques. Reduction of cost of
construction is a constant goal for construction industry. One way of
reducing construction cost is to develop innovative technologies as
well as methodologies to increase productivity. This study was
carried out to identify the factors affecting construction cost. The
factors were identified based on case studies and market surveys. In
this paper, we have studied different techniques for optimization. To
minimize the construction cost and duration at each phase is
important. It is a need to meet the present day requirements and to
complete the project within the estimated time, cost, and available
resources. Mainly affecting the factor on cost of project is delay in
project and material. Several methods have been developed and
applied to analyze the time-cost problems, but they can optimize only
