Military Construction Engineering and Design Cost Forecasts

Abstract

This report presents a statistical model for forecasting engineering and design (E and D) costs to aid the Directorate of Military Construction in establishing yearly targets for Division/District E and D rates. Data for nine military Construction Divisions/Districts from fiscal year (FY) 1966 through fiscal year 1975 were analyzed. A statistically significant model for eight Districts was developed and verified by a retrospective test. E and D costs/ rates predicted as a function of the estimated cost of construction for the eight Districts are presented for FY 76 and FY 77.
