Abstract
The paper outlines the problems associated with cost models and the role of professional expertise. It then outlines the production of an expert system to be used at the strategic planning stage of the development process. The system was developed in collaboration between the University of Salford and The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Quantity Surveyors Division) and funded under the British Government’s 'Alvey' IKBS programme.

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
