Estimating USACE Civil Works Project Costs

Abstract

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) provided $7 billion worth of design, engineering, design and engineering management, and construction management services for the military construction (MILCON) and the civil works programs in FY88. Since cost control is a major part of USACE's management responsibilities, their customers expect strict control of authorized funds and adherence to established budgets. This expectation has been heightened by the decreased MILCON budgets of recent years and by legislative initiatives such as the Water Resource Development Act of 1986. In this report, we present the results of our statistical analysis of a thousand civil works projects and propose equations for estimating engineering and construction management costs for various types of projects.
