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.
