Abstract
Reduced funds and the need for a consistent method of choosing between many proposed schemes each with different non-quantifiable benefits has made a reappraisal of methods of evaluating minor roading projects desirable. The paper has two major sections. First, the results of a study to determine the extent to which economic evaluation of any sort is used for evaluating minor works projects and to determine what other evaluation methods are currently used (56 cases were studied). Second, a revised method of evaluation, developed to take into account significant factors highlighted in the study, is presented.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
