Cost Prediction Models for Bringing Selected Air Force Logistics Command Facilities into Compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standards.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to ascertain if groupings of Air Force buildings, having the same or similar characteristics (as described in real property records) could be correlated into a mathematical model that would predict the costs necessary to bring buildings into compliance with standards as set by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Building characteristics from Air Force real property records (such as floor space, age, and function) were sorted and regressed against estimated costs obtained from an actual MAJCOM survey. The model shows that a correlation can be made between building characteristics and actual survey estimated OSHA retrofit costs. Using similar models, budget estimates for renovation could be calculated for buildings with same or similar characteristics. Recommendations for future surveys are included.
