Abstract | Construction time has been mentioned by most researchers as one of the key factors used in the determination of a successful project. Construction time is influenced by several factors out which cost also stands out prominent. Based on this, a time-cost model, known as Bromilow's time-cost model, has been developed for the determination of project success in cost terms in Korea. This paper assesses the applicability of the Bromilow’s time cost Model on building projects in Ghana. Historical cost data on 62 completed building projects carried out within the period 2000 - 2007 were therefore assessed for achievement of the aim of the study. The data were obtained through a questionnaire survey in three regions of Ghana. The data was analyzed using multiple regression analysis with the aid of SPSS 17. The analyses revealed that the original Bromilow’s model is generally not applicable to building projects in Ghana. This suggests that further research needs to be done to develop a model applicable in the Ghanaian construction industry. |
